In his legal treatise, Institutes of the Laws of England (1628), Sir Edward Coke wrote, A man’s house is his castle and fortress, et domus sua cuique tutissimum refugium (and each man’s home is his safest refuge). This general legal principle, carried into common law, implied that no one may enter a person’s home without permission.…
I’m not sure what Ann Coulter was trying to convey in her recent post [see here] concerning the World Cup. Perhaps it was something to do with ‘We Hate King George’, noting of course that football did not exist until the late 1800’s in England. Perhaps football is an affront to the Declaration or the Constitution?…
For the first time an English Premier League club [see here] has banned, indefinitely, a customer (fan) from its games. Everton FC assert that in their opinion tweets made by this fan were homophobic and racist. The unnamed fan (deleted Twitter handle @WhereAreYeEFC) may be allowed back but this is unclear. Social media suggests that…
Like me, you may often look at certain professions and wonder how on earth they garner such incredible salaries and non-working salaries (otherwise known as pensions). This is certainly true of those that have chosen to teach university students. Although this may be considered a noble profession, it can be as noble or as corrupt…
Science used to bring us increased freedom and more opportunity. This is one of the starkest use of science to actually reduce our freedoms and limit opportunity. Because of this alone, the use of science to curtail liberty, even small abuses must be pursued diligently.
An assault occurred at the Edinburgh Central Mosque on January 31st. Assault is a crime under centuries-old common law. Was anyone physically assaulted? No. But apparently the entire Muslim community (geographic scope unknown) was assaulted. Although not physical this assault is just as bad as if it was a mental assault if you will. Who…
A free society is one where liberty is endowed to the individual and limits government of the individual. English philosophy and the American founding in the 1700s remain the touchstone of current North American conservative thought. The media, or press, are a natural extension of this type of society. If a reporter sees an injustice…
I couldn’t help it. I took the image from Brietbart [see here]. Please forgive me. Here’s my two-line narrative: CC: “Barack, I love you very, very much, and I want to work with you as intimately as I can…” BO: “Don’t mention it Krispy Kreme, I mean Chris – I kind of like you, in…
The why: Is socialism in this photo? The because: This Marine is equal to that president. The president is not an elite. He, like the Marine, is a servant of the people. Neither is greater than the other. The socialism: An elitist attitude, whether through what I name as the…
David Wood over at answeringmuslims.com infuriatingly uses evidence and facts once again in an attempt to intimidate Western media. Even though this jihadist was as obvious as he could be – quoting chapter and verse as we in the West once said – the media and politicians in their infinite wisdom still ponder the mysteries of…
Life, liberty & the non-pursuit of socialism
