The ‘Jesus Was a Socialist’ and ‘Property is Theft’ Lies

How Many People Really Know What Socialism Is?

The Real Reason Governments Ban the Ten Commandments

Reclaim the Language: Taxation is Theft
The first thing any good debater learns is that the debate is never with the guy on the stage. The debate is always with the audience. Os Guinness makes a very astute observation in his book The Gravedigger File. It’s the 10-10-80 principle. In most social movements, there are worldview

Let’s Call Taxation What It Is: Theft
Bill Kristol, a long-time spokesman for neo-conservatism which is just another name for the road to serfdom by the slow route, says it’s no big deal if millionaires are taxed more. Obama won. Give him what he ran and won on. Here’s what Kristol said on Fox News Sunday: “Elections
