The ‘Sarah Palin Reconsider’ Clip

by Smitty Via Michelle Malkin, here is the mighty Sarah Palin ad, which appears to have been uploaded on 22 November. I am sure that Ladd Ehlinger could have done something with a bit more zip to it. This appears to be a straight up the middle play. On the one hand, this egalitarian statement […]

What Other Alternatives Exist For Getting Off Of Fiat Money?

by Smitty Ron Paul on money sounds so lucid: You know your current course is financially suicidal. Those who say otherwise are the ones who are culpable for the current mess. So, if not Ron Paul’s ideas, and not the status quo, then what? via Tyler Durden

Exploring ‘Explaining Postmodernism’ By Stephen Hicks 4: Poisoned Enlightenment

by Smitty Poisoning the Enlightenment for fun and excitement Our last post was about the first half of the 20th century.
