  • Civil War?

    Lake Minnetonka Liberty 2.0

    Are we headed down the path of civil war? Maybe. No one in good conscience can argue that we don’t have an out of control tyrannical government. Every day we wake up, they are trying to take more and more from us. The government thinks we are their subjects when [...]

  • Still a shock in Iraq

    News Cut

    Residual Forces

    SD45 as usual put on a great forum last night. Republican Governor candidates Tom Emmer and Marty Seifert faced off in Plymouth. The moderator for the event was a complete let down, but luckily the candidates were skilled enough to get their messages out anyways.

    There was some under handed behavior [...]

    Barataria - the work of Erik Hare

    Number of comments: 4
    This Sunday, 21 March, is the 325th Birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach.  If that seems like a long time ago, it was.  Long enough, in fact, to take a very lively and real person and turn his work into a kind of holy writ and the man himself into a [...]

  • Beer of the Week (Vol. XLVII)

    Fraters Libertas

    Another edition of Beer of the Week, brought to you as always by the fine folks at Glen Lake Wine & Spirits who believe that bitterness belongs in your beer, not in your life (hear that, Atomizer?). One of the first beer styles that I embraced when I started to [...]

    - Krugman on the coming vote. Reuters published an investigative report this week that powerfully illustrates the vileness of our current system. The report concerns the insurer Fortis, now part of Assurant Health, which turns out to have had a systematic policy of revoking its clients’ policies when they got sick. In [...]

  • Reconciliation Insanity

    Let Freedom Ring

    Earlier this evening, a quesiton popped into my head that perfectly illustrates the insanity of the Democrats’ health care legislation.

    For months, Democrats have excluded the Medicare/Doc Fix from their health care legislation to get the CBO to say that their health care legislation reduces the deficit. People living outside the [...]

  • The "Illions"

    True North

    Millions, billions, trillions - what's the difference? They all sound the same. And if some of my college students are an indication, they simply do NOT understand the difference among the three.

    Words matter. I have two suggestions for everything we say and write about the obnoxious deficits the Democrats are [...]

    Grizzly Groundswell

    From time to time, documents from IHEU, Freedom House, and similar non-governmental organizations will make reference to the abuse of blasphemy laws to deny the human rights of religious minorities. An editorial in the Jakarta Globe, from December 30, is a case in point. The article calls for the [...]
