The Strongest Argument For Free Enterprise

Upon examining the breadth of political views one person can really come to the conclusion that we all really want the same things. Ultimately people want to be able to decide how to live their lives on their own. The political field has been divided over the years not on actual beliefs but of individuals opinions on issues that truly do not matter. I have long been a believer that if you remove opinion form politics there stands one group of people libertarians. It is true, I once saw a shirt that sums up the libertarian party rather nicely it stated ‘Libertarians, diligently plotting to take over the world and leave you alone.’
Now I fall into a more complex party than just libertarian or conservative. I call myself a libertarian conservative. I truly believe that the federal government has no place AT ALL in individual matters. I believe the federal governments sole existence is protection of the entire United States. THAT’S IT!!!
Think of it this way, if Obama is drilling down to local government levels of how to operate what is the need for the local government? I mean he shipped in protesters to my home state to try and oust Scott Walker. Why does the federal government care what we do in WI? The answer is simple Power and control. People unilaterally want more. I wrote an article a while back talking about greed i implore you to read it.
I am not a full libertarian because I see a use for government at the state and local level. The state level protects the entirety of the state and the local government is really the most important vote you should ever make.
The Duh Factor
What I have discovered is that most political opinion comes from greed and jealousy. Ironically the greediest and the most jealous are usually the ones demanding the government make profits illegal because of greed. In reality they are so blinded by their hate of corporations who earn money freely that they would rather have another corporation who steals money to come in and take over.
Liberals do not think rationally, they think emotionally. Just look at Obamacare. There were very rational people explaining what would happen with Obamacare, liberals did not want to listen to reason because they wanted everyone to have healthcare. Now look at whats happening. Millions are losing healthcare. We stand to have more people without healthcare as a result of Obamacare than we did before Obamacare.......

Why You Should Be A Libertarian Conservative

In my short years on this earth I have gone through many changes. 
Where I stand politically has evolved continually. I have explored all of my personal beliefs as well as trying out the things I was skeptical of. I was in high school during the reign of GW Bush. I was a stringent supporter of him and the Republican Party. By supporter I mean I loved Bush as a president and did not know crap about the policy during his time. I just liked him because I associated Republicans with patriotism and I wanted to be a patriot.
As I progressed into my college years I started really caring about issues being debated at a national level. I started weaning away from my strictly republican beliefs and was moving more towards center. To this day on the political alignment tests you will find me very socially liberal in my beliefs but when it comes to letting government take over on what I believe I am extremely conservative.

He's Not Wrong
He’s Not Wrong
What I mean by this is that I want to end hunger, I want everyone to have reasonable access to doctors for health care and advice, I want everyone to have a good shelter and access to food. I just think that individuals can have a much larger effect on these problems than a central wasteful government can.
What I have learned in my time is that we truly do not need a government with the exception of a group who will protect our natural rights and freedoms. I would say I am a Libertarian except that I believe protection of those rights and freedoms is the only essential role of the federal government.
My friends say all the time, “well then who will build roads?” ”How can you guarantee workplace safety?” “Who will clean the water/air?” To be honest up until as early as last year I would have agreed that we need a central form of national government to do these things.........

The War On Coal

In history there has been no individual that is as hell bent on self destruction as a Liberal Democrat. From, “take my money with higher taxes”, to “let us kill our babies”, I think calling extreme liberalism a mental disorder is not a far reach. In my observation of this species, I feel they fall somewhere between Narcissistic personality disorder and self desecration. Not to mention the complete delusion of a Utopian social society.
Ok, with that out of my system I can get to Obama’s newest attempt to help his support base move on and forget that their god has once again lied and betrayed them. CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhh everyone panic!
This has been the one issue that has dumbfounded me for the longest time. Especially because I believe the libs have a point. As usual, they fail to see the forest for the trees.
I too would like green renewable energy.
That’s right, I a conservative Republican whatever you want to call me wants clean energy. Although because I am not an idiot, I know how we can get there and not go to war with inanimate objects.
As usual liberals are trying to be all conservative by doing the “right” thing, but they are completely misguided as how to get there.

The liberal method to accomplish anything plays very well into the likes of their voter rolls. Very lazy and demotivated to work. It is why their efforts rarely take flight past, protesting, squatting in a specific location, or…… well that is pretty much it.
Their gods have told them that the globe is warming. The reason the globe is warming because of carbon emissions. As to be expected with any liberal idea, it was urgent that something happened now or the entire globe is doomed in a matter of years. So a matter of years have past and like every chicken little liberal cry, nothing has happened. The predictions never came to fruition. In fact the temperature of the globe plateaued even though carbon emissions continue to increase.
What is a narcissist to do in the face of fact that disproves what he or she believes most? Change the narrative of course.
“Even though the gods said temperature was the issue and that is not changing it just means that we are still right. Did I say global warming? no no no, I believe I said Climate Change.” (This is my hypothesis of what a liberals self conversation is like)
The term climate change was a genius marketing move by the liberals (I know, a broken clock is right twice a day). They have found the perfect word to continue the welfare program for green energy that no one in their right mind could deny.
Of course the climate changes. It is 90 outside right now and in a few months there will be snow on the ground. Millions of years ago there was three miles of ice where I am now. They have picked a label so broad that anything could be used to further its cause.
There’s a flood! Oh it must be climate change.
There are more tornadoes than last year! Well its because of climate change.
There are a lot less tornadoes than last year! Well we expected that because of climate change.
There are fewer tornadoes, but they seem more powerful! Well its obviously climate change.
Every one of those statements and responses are ……true!
Clearly their fight is not about our use of carbon based fuels as much is it being about them once again hating big business. They hate oil and coal companies, and finally one of them came out and admitted it.
Daniel P. Schrag, a White House climate adviser and director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, tells the New York Times “a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.” Later today, President Obama will give a major “climate change” address at Georgetown University.
“Everybody is waiting for action,” Schrag tells the paper. “The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants. Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.”

The liberals will go to war with the sun, then we will fight in the shade.
The liberals will go to war with the sun, then we will fight in the shade.
I know you are a director at Harvard, but why are you such an idiot? I am waiting for the business plan from any liberal that states how to shift our current energy needs from coal to green with very little to no pain? Do they even have a plan?
They hate all energy except for solar and wind. Well they did love nat gas. That was until oil and coal companies found a great efficient method to harvest it, and they learned that we could sustain on that for at least the next 400 years. Then all of the sudden it was a threat to their narrative and subsidy money.
Someone should ask them were solar and wind companies get the power to make solar panels and wind turbines. Some one should ask them how the elements are mined to create those things as well.
They have a major hole in their brains where scientific reasoning should be. I have always said this. We will get to a point where we can harness the power of the sun to give us sufficient energy. Coal and oil will get us there.
The groups that are researching and improving these technologies need power to work efficiently. Will shutting down coal plants help or hurt their efforts?
I believe in green energy simply because I know burning coal puts carcinogens into the air and increases a persons risk of being sick. I am not mad at coal companies however. It is the power they provide that has also driven almost all of our advancement in computing and healthcare. Although carcinogens are bad for our health our average life span is increasing.
We as a driven race innovate and improve faster than our advancements hurt us.
So how do you help this change? Get this rapid transition from coal to green? WORK WITH THE POWER GIANTS!!!
If a company has created a scrubbing technology that helps reduce emissions from a coal fired plant, give that company a tax break equal to the cost of implementing that solution. Everyone wins, I have cleaner air, the scientist that invented the scrubbing method gets money to expand his or her business, and the coal company does not take on additional cost that would most certainly be passed on to the consumer of their electricity.
As always the liberal breed has “good” intentions and the worst implementation plan. They are using the five year old method. Throw a tantrum to get what I want. Rather than provide a rational plan to implement their ideas.
