Skin In The Game
Thursday, June 24th, 2010Author Tony DeMaio
I have been reading about the number of folks that are walking away from “underwater” mortgages where they owe more than the house is worth, even though they can still make the payments. I believe it is called a “strategic” default.
I am somewhat puzzled by this. When I grew up, you gave your [...]
An Open Letter
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Author David Franklin
TO ALL FAITHFUL TEXAS RING READERSHIP:
May I kindly suggest the following: STOP! believing ANY THING, and prove to yourself the reality of all Things. Otherwise, the True reality that there IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL government will only bring you the heartsick pain of delusion.
In 1913, your now UN-CONSTITUTIONAL Federal Congress delegated [...]
I WANT PEACE AND FREEDOM (I do!! I really, really do.)
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Author Tony Demaio
I don’t think so. You may fool yourself, but you don’t fool me. You want peace and freedom like you want a new BMW or you want to be rich, or you want to be healthy.
You say you DO want a new BMW? I don’t think so. You may fool yourself, but you [...]
You Can’t Eat Gold
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
Actually, a few people do eat gold and silver after it has been pounded tissue-paper thin and used as a decorative touch on very costly confections. In general, however those screeching about “barbarous relics” are quite correct that we cannot eat gold. Where they err, as [...]
L.A. S.F. and Oakland Do Arizona a Favor
Friday, May 14th, 2010Author Mike Rough
According to news reports the city council of Los Angeles overwhelmingly approved a boycott of Arizona-based businesses and governments Wednesday unless the state repeals a new law giving police the power to question a detainee’s immigration status.
I find this move by a extremely amusing from many angles that are obviously lost on [...]
Charitable Giving–For the Poor
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Author Tony DeMaio
Ever wonder why the charities and churches are against the “flat tax” or “fair tax”? Ever wonder why the “rich folk” establish “charitable foundations“? Ever wonder why the “rich folk” have huge charitable contributions? After all, they didn’t get rich by giving money away.
I alluded to the answers in another paper; I’ll try [...]
Pay No Attention To Men Behind The Curtain
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Author David W. Franklin
AH!, here are two too obvious but simple, irrefutable truths:
FACTS by way of REASON & KNOWLEDGE:
No. 1
IF… Congress was truly given the power to delegate to a private corporation ONE of their powers, then they have to power to delegate each and every one of those powers granted to them in Article [...]
In Defense Of The Post Office
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Author Tony Demaio
The following excerpt from an article caught my attention.
“The Government Accountability Office recently estimated the U.S. Postal Service faces ‘daunting financial losses‘ of over $238 billion over the next 10 years.“Following the USPS’ first-quarter loss of $297 million, the GAO issued its study, urging Congress to form a panel and start demanding more [...]
Brother You Asked For It!
Friday, May 7th, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
Or perhaps instead of quoting Francisco D’Anconia, we should go with a line from “Judas’ Song:” “The world’s in ruins around us, and all because of you.”
Okay, brothers, you demanded 14 paychecks a year instead of only 12, and you got them. Shorter work weeks with fewer hours per day [...]
The Supreme Inviolate Law of Economics
Friday, May 7th, 2010Author David W. Franklin
GREEK RIOTS:
The ‘CORE’ of the Cause
Hundreds of PhD’d Keynesian, Liberal, and Collectivist economists have for decades, written books in voluminous quantities, teaching, touting, even ’showboating’ their alleged superior expertise in assisting governments with how to manage the redistribution (stealing) of Real Wealth from one productive class to a non-productive class of citizens.
While [...]
