How We See The World

Peter Thiel is a hero of mine. You may have heard of him, because he was integral in founding PayPal, which is used to make transactions over the internet. He was also one of the first venture capitalists to invest in Facebook, before it became very popular. So he's a brilliant guy. It just so happens he's also a libertarian.

Therefore, libertarian ideas could never be institutionalized over the long haul - states will always eventually grow to…

The Rooted and the Rootless by Patrick J. Buchanan Most Americans have grown to love America long before they read the Constitution, or the Federalist Papers. There are heroes in Arlington who never learned to read. A true nation is an extended family. If fathers or sons do not defend it, it is their conduct that is indefensible. Does Barack Obama understand the people he leads? Do his aides? These may seem cheeky questions to ask of a team that just won the presidency. But there is something in their cool, insouciant, blasé demeanor, in the face of insults to their country, that suggests there yet exists a chasm—between them and us. Now, the change since the …

America is a corporatist nation (aka Fascist), and therefore it is acceptable for the largest corporations to use government to force their competitors out of business. In this case, the regional banks would be the ones to benefit from non-interventionism. The big banks would go bankrupt (without the Fed acting as the lender of last resort) and the smaller banks would get all their old clients. But alas, we'll be stuck with the same big, crappy banks for the next hundred years, probably. And our kids will be pa…

A major component of the strategy was the creation of a group of general-purpose units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and other military units and agencies, primarily border guard agencies to…
