  • We the People Don’t Need a President’s Plan

    We the People Don’t Need a President’s Plan0

    Hillary Clinton has a “plan.” I live in a “battleground state” so Clinton shared her plan with me in commercials, over and over and over again, through Saturday afternoon college football. Clinton’s plan is to spend more taxpayer money. Her spending initiatives include free college tuition for students in families making under $125,000 a year,

    We Shouldn’t Be This Invested in a Presidential Election1

    The reality of a Trump-Biden rematch has provoked a torrent of weeping and gnashing of teeth in the mainstream media. One article after another had declared the 2020 redux as the matchup Americans “don’t want” and are “least excited about,” with one pollster describing it as a “cruel joke.” All of this consternation highlights one of the

    We Need to Stop Assuming Progress Is Always Positive0

    Franco. Mussolini. Stalin. Hitler. Castro. Mao Ze Dong. Pol Pot.   The 20th century was full of dictatorships which reached new heights of cruelty and butchery never imagined in centuries prior. Unfortunately, this cruelty flies in the face of the American belief that progress is undeniable and a decidedly positive force in human history.   How did we
