Today, more and more liberty is taken away from you everyday. There is a way to stop this. There is a party that fights for our liberty. It's called the libertarian party.

Alright, while I still support Ron Paul for the Republican nomination, someone I agree with even more has jumped into the race for the Libertarian Party nomination. I've always been impressed by Dr. Mary Ruwart's concise answers to difficult questions in her Advocates for Self Government column, and don't remember a time when I have disagreed with her solutions.After I heard she was running for

The Jeremy West Show is back… in written form! Yeah, I prefer talking, but I’m too lazy to produce and edit podcasts. If I could just talk and someone else did the editing and podcasting, I’d still podcast.The fact of the matter is, it took a lot of work to edit together the show even for the little coherence that ended up on the show. I know what I believe as far as political philosophy, but I’m

The United States of America is, and was always meant to be, a diverse society. Today it is more diverse than ever, and luckily much more tolerant of diversity than it was in the opening days of the “land of liberty”, days when slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person and women had to leave the decisions to their husbands.But our diversity has always been envisioned as far more than simply

President Bush has finally proposed some spending cuts to go along with all the tax cuts. It's a start to bringing this government under control, but he continues to increase government spending in areas that should be funded by charities and chartitable friends, families, and neighbors. Also, despite the government's insistence on calling it "defense", they continue to propose and pass

The party that came in second isn't the only one with some thinking to do right now. Those of us in fourth need to wake up as well."

Ron Paul:"Continuing to deny that the attacks against us are related to our overall policy of foreign meddling through many years and many administrations, makes a victory over our enemies nearly impossible.

Just finished watching the real debate: "DEBATES SHOWED THAT NEITHER BUSH NOR KERRY IS FIT TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF".Although I've read much about Michael Badnarik online, this was the first time I've actually heard him speak.

Have you ever opened up a free range egg and discovered a little black spot that you realized was a chicken fetus? Did you look on the fetus' early demise as a tragedy as deep as a baby chicken dying? Thus is a simple argument for the pro-choice cause which works for me.Many (especially evangelical Christians in America) see a fertilized human egg as a human being. But do you see a fertilized
