Laws, Restrictions, Liberty, And Free Markets: Smoking Certainly Brings Out Opinions By: maxstephon | - A recent editorial column in the Fort Wayne News Sentinel regarding a proposed county-wide ban on smoking raised the question of whether businesses, especially bars and taverns, should be able to regulate whether cigarette smoking is allowed inside the establishment. Not surprisingly, progressive liberals want government to prohibit smoking everywhere: in workplaces, in restaurants, in bars, even in public parks. Equally unsurprising is the fact that libertarians and constitutionalists argue tha ... Tags:best electronic cigarette, e cigarette for sale
Ron Paul Is Iowa's Sixth Poll Leader; Mitt Romney Reaches For Tea By: Anthony.Williams | - Mitt Romney -- in a move to grow his grass-roots base and peel off votes from a fading Newt Gingrich -- found new support in a national tea party straw poll Sunday. But Gingrich and Michele Bachmann remain the movement's favorites.
In other Ron Paul News, the candidate for the Republican nomination for the 2012 election continues to gain popularity in Iowa, with a new Public Policy Polling survey showing the Texas congressman taking the lead there with 23 percent.

What About The Deductible? By: Haz Duell | - We need to go back to basics to understand what the decision really means on the deductible. The idea of insurance is very simple. If you don't have a policy, you carry all the cost of loss. That means, if anything goes wrong, you pay out of your own pocket. Think of this as self-insurance. But, if you belong to a group that shares the cost of loss, this can save you money. Let's say you insure your vehicle along with several thousand other people. Not everyone will have an accident so, when it ... Tags:insurance
We Are The Victims Of Fraud By: Haz Duell | - If you talk to some Libertarians, they get very excited about the idea of victimless crime. The one they most often mention is drug-taking. If one person take a baseball bat and hits another, this is clearly criminal behavior. The victim has the lumps to prove it. But if one person takes drugs, he or she is doing this voluntarily. There's no victim. Everything that follows from this behavior is ignored. The Libertarian believes in the now. If you choose to hit yourself with a bat or a street dru ... Tags:insurance
Make Driving Safer By: Haz Duell | - Let's go back to basics on insurance. It works because those clever actuaries estimate how much money will be required to pay out all the claims over the next year and then divide that amount by the number of policyholders. It's called the cost of loss. To that they add a percentage to cover the administrative expenses and a profit. If the estimates are right, everyone is happy. Now suppose we could do something to reduce the cost of loss. That would mean a smaller share for all of us to pay and ... Tags:insurance

What Is A Libertarian - And Could You Be One? By: Tony Mase | - Ask a bunch of random people on the street what a Libertarian is and you'll probably discover most of them don't know! But even though many of them can't put it into words, plenty of people like what the Libertarian mindset is all about.
You've probably heard of the Libertarian Party. You may even like some of its members - like Texas Congressman Ron Paul and former Judge and current FOX News Analyst Andrew Napolitano.
Is Obama A Communist Threat? By: Art Gib | - The idea that there is an Obama communist agenda has spread throughout the nation and is ignited by the discovery of communist mentor, who has had seemingly strong influence on the president's life, but is there any proof of a red scare in the oval office, or is this just a political tactic aimed at a liberal leader?
Lifestyle Changes Make Sense By: Haz Duell | - It's at this point that Libertarians get all excited because this article is all about whether an interfering government should tell people how to live their lives. Think about the debate over criminalizing those who use soft drugs like cannabis. Victimless crimes, they shout. What we do in the privacy of our own homes is our affair. That's why we're all signed-up members of the NRA and will shoot to kill if threatened. Well, let's add to the list of stuff that can kill you. Everyone has to know ... Tags:insurance
Thomas Sowell: 'barbarians Inside The Gates' [a Collection Of Brilliant Essays By: C. Read | - In the 'realist' school of political science philosophy, Robert Gilpin is prima inter pares. His works should be read by any with an interest in how the major 'isms' line up against each other, and what the underlying tenets of each are. In the realm of general political theology, no one is as accomplished, talented, or well-informed as the former Marxist turned Libertarian Professor Thomas Sowell of Stanford. He is simply an American treasure. Too bad for America that this man did not become it ... Tags:Political Islam, Arab devastation
Texas Elections By: Ashish Gupta. | - Texas Elections 2010 are just around the corner. The gubernatorial election of Texas will be held on November 2, 2010. In general, the term "election" has been defined as "a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office." This decision is very important as we all cast our vote for the most suitable candidate of our choice. Choosing the Texas Governor is a significant because they serve for four-year terms.

"we Will Go Through Our Federal Budget Page By Page, Eliminating Those Programs We Do Need." By: Bruno Korschek | - According to the Cato Institute, who stated the words in the title of this post? Congressman Ron Paul, that crazy libertarian type out of Texas? Somebody out of that wacky tea party crowd? One of those nut case Fox News hosts? No, those words were stated by President-elect Barack Obama in 2008. What a great idea, take a ground up approach to examine and analyze every expenditure of taxpayer money that the political class has responsibility for.
President Obama Does By: Kenway Maxy | - "Wag the Dog" is a euphemism for when a politician in trouble wages a war or does some other diversion to get the heat off his back. President Obama, it appears to me, is doing a "Wag the Mosque" as a smokescreen for a tanking deflation economy during his administration and to help his parties election chances in the November 2010 midterm elections. With only a couple months until the elections, they are in big trouble. Some pundits say the Democrat Party may loose control of both houses of con ...

The Politics Of Austin, Texas By: Jim Olenbush | - Although the state of Texas is known for being a conservative state, its capital city is far different. In fact, the city of Austin is so well known for its Democratic leanings that it has become a stronghold for the Democratic Party. Yet, interestingly, the city's suburbs tend to vote Republican. In fact, the city is so well known for its liberal politics that conservative residents from other parts of the state routinely refer to the capital city as "The People's Republic of Austin."

Is Mandating Insurance Unconstitutional? By: Haz Duell | - It seems some things follow like night and day. So, within minutes of President Obama signing the healthcare reform bill into law, a small gang of state attorneys general filed suit to have the law declared unconstitutional. Their complaint? In short, they argue Congress has no power to make people buy some thing from a private company. As a strictly libertarian approach, they say it infringes the liberty of the individual. Of course, all the liberal law professors immediately burst out la ... Tags:insurance

Is Big Soda The Next Big Tobacco? By: Dorthey | - Critics say that the soda industry is behaving much like the tobacco industry of yesterday: marketing sugary drinks to children, claiming the products are healthy or at least harmless, and lobbying heavily to prevent change.
The industry's main counterclaim is that there are major differences between cigarettes and the products they sell. They contend that, in moderate quantities, soda is neither harmful, nor addictive.
Cognitive Dissonance And Health Insurance Reform By: Yamileth Medina | - The national controversy swirling around healthcare reform has become one of the main topics of conversation during President Obama's first year in office. He campaigned on the issue, and made it the centerpiece of his domestic policy. Many political analysts are now considering that to be a bad move. Current polls show that a majority of Americans are against Congress' current proposals for health insurance reform. With Democrats losing their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, it appears ... Tags:healthcare reform, health insurance, medical insurance, obama, cognitive dissonance
Word Formation And Formation Of Word Process By: alireza sadeghi ghadi | - Nowadays, the terms word formation does not have a clear cut, universally accepted usage. It is sometimes referred to all processes connected with changing the form of the word by, for example, affixation, which is a matter of morphology.

Although it seems that the difference between morphological change of a word and creation of a new term is quite easy to perceive, there is sometimes a dispute as to ... Tags:
