It seems that almost every day we hear some comment or action that insulted or offended someone that has been either dealt with using the criminal code (as in most of Europe) or within an increasingly intolerant court of public opinion, as in North America. It seems also that every day the old media go through…
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?…
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…
There now exists in the United Kingdon a law, a speech crime law, that treats different citizens in an inequitable manner. The inequity derives from accidental human characteristics such as skin tone and religion, for example, that the law itself purportedly holds to be equal. I’ll just draw on two different media stories to highlight where this…
In response to the brilliant rebuttal to Obama’s insane policies by Dr. Ben Carson, the BBC responded by not responding. In fact so did CNN and many of the old media outlets. We’ve known for some time that the media and their press simply crowd-source their news stories in order to present a biased but…
A prayer breakfast, a successful black neurosurgeon and the president of the United States. They sound like the ingredients for a great news story one would think. But one would think wrong if one were an habitué of old media outlets such as the BBC and CNN. Why they are missing this story is an…
The racist Indian Act [see here] deprives individual native persons on a reservation from basic human property rights. As such those in control on a reservation, including the chief, elected officials and chosen friends, have outright control over how individuals on each reserve actually live. From the house that is selected for them to live…
In 1690 an Englishman was basically the freest individual on the face of planet Earth. They came up with the blasphemous notion that a mere mortal monarch could actually have their sovereign powers limited and controlled. They decided that free and fair elections for parliament be enshrined such that the will of the people…
Today, in 2012, in the west, we call them liberals. The word itself derives from the Latin word liberalis, “noble, gracious, munificent, generous.” From its roots we can imagine the word applying to a patrician Roman citizen, greeting his guests with a full table of fine food, a choice of wines and polite conversation. It…
Israel Alone As each year goes by it seems that the Economist gets more and more socialist in its opinions. What is more disturbing is that they seem to be a member of the liberal media echo chamber: it doesn’t matter what outlet you tune in to, the same opinion will be repeated about the…
Life, liberty & the non-pursuit of socialism
