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.
Big-government lovers like denying it, but a study has concluded that nonprofits save society money, both short-term and long-term, in a way that government does not and cannot. The study was conducted by nonprofit leaders regarding organizations located in the Washington DC area– local, national and international. The source is biased, sure, but I’d love [...]
It’s been an eventful week. Two of my teen idols died. Monday was both the most depressing day of the year and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday celebration/federal holiday. Tuesday was the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, designated as “Blog for Choice Day” by NARAL. I don’t want to get into a long, drawn-out [...]
New Hampshire apparently doesn’t want to “live free” anymore, so they’re in need of a new slogan. Any suggestions?
Andrew Olmsted kept a blog for close to five years, before he stopped posting around last February when he realized that his writing may have gone against Department of Defense guidelines for military personnel. He was sent to Iraq in July, and while there, he started posting at the Rocky Mountain News with DOD approval. [...]
Say goodbye to the smoky cafe. France will ban smoking in public places such as cafes and restaurants as of January 2 (technically January 1, but they won’t enforce it that day), in a similar move to Illinois and other American states. As I previously pointed out and as the comments I received indicate, libertarians [...]
Driving across the country provides you with thinking time about issues that you normally wouldn’t dwell on. One of these involves rest areas. I noticed when I entered Iowa that a “Welcome Center” greeted me that was more of the nature of something you’d find at the site of a Southern plantation than something you’d [...]
John Zogby (the Zogby polling czar) writes about the Republicans’ chances in Iowa: Ron Paul: He’s going to do better than anyone expects. Look to Paul to climb into the double-digits in Iowa. Why? He’s different, he stands out. He’s against the war and he has the one in four Republicans who oppose the war [...]
Tomorrow I leave Illinois to go to Iowa for a week or so, so I’ll miss the magical day of January 1, when by law all public places in Illinois will begin to bar smoking. Many libertarians are against smoking bans, believing that the free market should decide whether to ban smoking (if people don’t [...]
In a move that will be sure to inflame many libertarian-minded freedom lovers everywhere, or which could be seen as further proof that our guy may just pull out the Republican nomination, a Libertarian Party candidate has filed to run against my man Ron Paul in his home congressional district in Texas. The head of [...]
I’ve always liked the quote from Karl Marx, “Religion is the opiate of the people.” A friend wanted me to see the new movie The Golden Compass, based on Philip Pullman’s trilogy His Dark Materials, so I started looking into it. I’ve been wanting to read the HDM books since a few years ago when [...]
