I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
An interesting article from The National Review about student groups at Hofstra University in the wake of Wednesday night’s debate:
One thing the polished Miss Williams did buy into, something that seems to be gaining traction in the progressive hivemind, is the promise of “green jobs.” Senator Obama talked about green jobs and the promise of [...]
On my recent trip to Austria, I was amazed to find that dogs were allowed in restaurants. Not just Paris Hilton-style lapdogs, either. I’m talking huge German shepherds and Rottweilers, walking around the restaurants and pubs, on no leash.
No one except my American companions and I paid them any mind, as if it was [...]
Note: Libertarian Girl is off to Europe, but while she’s away she’ll be updating with previously written posts about politics and life in the places she’s visiting. She’ll soon be back to her regularly scheduled Libertarian Girl programming.
You can’t get very far in Austria without being reminded of the country’s Nazi past. Austria was invaded [...]
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was indicted today for taking money from a company to remodel his house.
I have two thoughts.
1.) Good riddance.
2.) Who cares?
Most of our members of Congress do worse things than this on their jobs every day. Shouldn’t voting for unconstitutional bills and amendments be an indictable offense in and of itself?
This is [...]
As he did so many times as Governor of Texas, President Bush has given the go-ahead to an execution. This time, it will be a court-martialed member of the Army, Ronald Gray, who murdered two people near Fort Bragg in 1988.
I can’t say I was surprised to see that Ronald Gray is black, even less [...]
I recently watched the ’70s movie Serpico, which is not a Mafia movie as so many Pacino movies were then, but a true story about a New York City police officer named Frank Serpico who happened to be pretty much the only cop on the force not taking bribes from criminals– or at least the [...]
Environmentalists consistently lobby for more ways in which America’s largest polluter can regulate all other polluters while giving themselves all immunity from their very own laws.
How is that? Well, the government causes more damage to the environment than any corporation, group, or entity in America, yet this same government regulates all others on how they [...]
Would the poor prosper better in a libertarian society than they do now? I believe so. Here’s why:
The current system often benefits the rich and special interests, not the poor.
The “War on Drugs” disproportionately places poor people in prison for non-violent crimes, separating families and ruining lives.
The inflation tax is a tax no politician [...]
This is the conclusion of my two-part series discussing why science would be better if it left government funding behind. In the first post, I discussed why government should not be given control of scientists’ work, what government have done when they did have this control, what they will continue to do, and how [...]
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by federal government project allocation, and the power of money, is ever present, and is gravely to be regarded.” — President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The government should stay out of science completely. Science, scientists, taxpayers, and the world would be better off for it. Research scientists are usually [...]
