D’Souza’s speech comparing the Manifesto of the NSDAP to the Democrats Oct 12, 2017

Dinesh D'Souza made a statement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdxyVkzwbM) that the platform of the NSDAP was manifestly left-wing and aligned with the Democrats.  There is a lot of truth in that statement (I have even heard one Democrat who proudly affirmed her affinity to fascism). But how accurate is his thesis?  It seems that most Republicans also agree with at least some of the NSDAP platform.  The following paraphrases the original 25-point manifesto of the NSDAP of 1920 into English while removing explanatory text and applying it as much as possible to the United States.  It also suggests the current political party most,...

At First Inflation, Can Be Subtle Jan 25, 2017

Photo on line by Brother “Joe” Ministries “For the first time in years, inflation is picking up.” – Justin Spittler, “Not Even Trump Can Clean Up This Mess”, Casey Daily Dispatch, 1-23-2017 Is it so that inflation is just now “picking up”, or has it been raging in the background all along?

From 2012 to 2016 the average U.S. cost of a Big Mac increased about 1.8% per year. This sounds not too out...

A Pastiche on the Parable of the Good Samaritan Aug 24, 2015

But a poor Samaritan, hated by the powers and who like all of his friends had no resources, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He passed the injured man staring at him in horror and meditating on what could possibly have led such criminals to do this this thing. He came unto the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and stepping before them pleaded for police patrols to ensure this ‘will never happen again’.

One Libertarian’s Take on Immigration Jul 21, 2015

As the US boundaries take on an ever more similar appearance to the Berlin wall, the totalitarian noose tightens ever more firmly around our personal necks. In a paraphrase of Reagan: Mr. Obama, tear down this wall!

ON THE CAUSE OF VIOLENCE: A Discussion of the Shooting in Chattanooga Jul 16, 2015

The glaring difference between armed robbers and policemen is the level of acceptance by other people. When a thief issues threats or carries them out, very few people approve. Almost all people will understand that he is violating the very foundation of civilized society. When a policeman uses gun violence, most people approve. The former tends to not set a precedent or provide a model for acceptable behavior. The latter, on-the-other-hand, tend to provide mentoring of acceptable behavior. Lots of people view the police as upholding the foundations of society. Therefore, between these two groups, it is most important for...
