How Strongly Do You Adhere to Your Principles

November 28, 2018 By burt@burtwalker.com

It's never a bad idea to critically analyze your own beliefs. As a lower case libertarian, I like to believe my principles are my guide with respect to nearly everything in life. Those principles might be based on any number of things which led me to my current world view. I also like to believe my principles are based on logic, reason, and rational thought. While these principles guide me, I'm not perfect and in certain circumstances, I may reluctantly but willingly violate them. I believe you … [Read more...] about How Strongly Do You Adhere to Your Principles

Asking Fundamental Questions

November 10, 2018 By burt@burtwalker.com

I've discovered a new hobby, albeit one that sometimes causes me more grief than pleasure. I like to examine any controversial subject and whittle it down to it's most fundamental underpinnings, then ask some basic questions. It's amazing what you can dig up when you do that. Below is just one of those. I dared ask myself what I would do if I could change just one thing in the U.S. Constitution.Many of us spend a lot of time trying to figure out ways to "get back to it," or "protecting it," … [Read more...] about Asking Fundamental Questions

I listened to one where he recounted his discovery of libertarian philosophy and how it was an epiphany for him. I recall the same discovery. I'd always felt uncomfortable with both the liberal and conservative movements as they exist today so I felt disenfranchised. Dave Smith mentioned how disappointed he was because he thought … [Read more...] about On Lemmings

Cannabis: A Case For Individual Liberty

August 29, 2018 By Brian Lauer

NOTE: This is a guest post by my friend and fellow Kentuckian, Brian Lauer.A wise man once said that once liberty is lost, it is lost forever. The time has come for every man, woman and child that still believes in liberty to fight for the liberty they desire. That is the cost of our freedom and I intend to pay whatever price is necessary for my children to have their freedom. I hope that sentiment is shared by everyone here. There once was a dream that was our great republic and that … [Read more...] about Cannabis: A Case For Individual Liberty
