First Entry at “Homeland Stupidity”
Michael Hampton over at Homeland Stupidity asked if I would like to become a contributor to the site, which focuses on government stupidity with an emphasis on individual freedom. The government’s stupidity and malice have become too massive for one man to document. I’m happy to help keep the magnifying glass focused.
My first article, “Why I cannot continue to vote for Republicans as the lesser of two evils” is now up.
An excerpt:
On paper, Republicans are easily more favorable than Democrats to a libertarian-minded person such as myself. On paper, they support lower taxes, less socialism, limited government, a rigid interpretation of the Constitution, property rights, parental rights and gun rights. In practice, they do little to permanently relieve the tax burden, they support wealth redistribution in a variety of forms, they’ve bloated the government to an unprecedented degree, they’ve made a mockery of Amendments One, Four, Six, Eight and Ten, they’ve been slow and inadequate in their response to the Supreme Court’s eminent domain decision. That leaves parental rights and gun rights. So if all you want to do is to teach your kid that God created the world in seven 24-hour periods or shoot empty beer cans for fun, the Republican Party has your back. Otherwise, it’s time to wake up and realize you’ve been duped.
