Re: Fort Hood's Shootings

I believe this post finishes our site’s libertarian conversion. We now occupy the same portion of the libertarian spectrum that LewRockwell.com occupies.

I don’t like America’s wars of aggression. The problem, as I see it, is that it can be hard to tell the difference between a war of aggression and a good preemptive defense. For …

Re: Fort Hood's Shootings [by Adam Volle]

While I don’t like it when anyone gets hurt, on the other hand I find it difficult to work up sympathy for a bunch of people who are dead now because they promised an organization that in return for a minimum of $350 a week (as an enlisted) or $664 per week (as an officer), …

We live to redirect you [by Adam Volle]

My lovely wife’s birthday, my store’s grand reopening after many millions of dollars’ worth of construction work, and (ya wouldn’t have caught me doing this in my Christian days – and in fact I’m still not enthused) a Halloween costume party all clamor for my time this week. So, stress for me. And …

The political platform of Jesus [by Adam Volle]

One kernel of common wisdom often repeated among American Christians today is that God is not a Republican or a Democrat.

The great majority don’t actually believe it, of course; most of them are firmly convinced that those bastards on the opposite side of the political spectrum (by which I mean about a quarter-inch over – …

The Conservative Bible Project II [by Adam Volle]

Because one way to regularly update a blog is to shoot fish in a barrel, today we continue our look at the development of a Republican Study Bible (because may we just be honest? While the project is officially entitled the ”Conservative Bible Project”, ”conservative” is a term that’s changed its meaning several times …

Thomas Sowell Reviewed [by Adam Volle]

It’s probably a good idea to write my next review on somone about whom I have generally positive feelings, if a few criticisms – and God bless him, economist Thomas Sowell certainly counts.

A perfectly publishable 500-750 word opinion piece isn’t difficult to write. I can write one in ninety minutes. But to write …

How To Write For Townhall.com [by Adam Volle]

My father is a fan of Rush Limbaugh.

Also Sean Hannity, now that he’s come on the scene.

And Hugh Hewitt, actually, and also Michael Medved. Come to think of it, Dennis Prager too, and…

Well.

You understand. Perhaps your heart is even going out to me. You are thinking of what my childhood must have …

How Much Military Is Enough?

For the past two years, I’ve been slowly trying to figure out my opinion about U.S. foreign policy and the U.S. military. There are a lot of very bad people in the world. The thuggish mullahs of Iran and the even more thuggish dictator of North Korea jump immediately to mind. But one shouldn’t forget …

Ah'm ah Bubba? [by Adam Volle]

Are you tired of politics?

God knows, I am. As big a politics junkie as I used to be – in my time as a flag-wavin’, God-fearin’ Republican there wasn’t a Townhall.com update I didn’t read, nor an issue of The Economist I didn’t completely consume for more general news before moving on to a …

What's so great about the USA? [by Adam Volle]

Our government (Joe and I are both Americans, if it wasn’t completely obvious) is the world’s oldest. Economically, we account for a quarter of the world’s entire gross domestic product – which is a fact that tends not to be mentioned when activists bemoan the fact that we consume a quarter of the world’s …
