In Worship of Pagan Gods

"Many Christians understand that Halloween is a Pagan holiday but never considered the same about Christmas and Easter. It is ironic, really, that they never really questioned things like Santa, trees, gifts, eggs, and bunnies and how these things relate to their religion. Like most people, they did it because their parents did, and their parents before them." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Libertarianism Is Immoral

"If you really want to protect your children, legalize all drugs. By taking out the black market, there is a much better chance that they will never meet the man on the corner selling drugs. It is not a matter of morality; drugs should be legal, not just some drugs, but all drugs! In fact, the more dangerous the drug is, the greater the need to legalize it." Column by Mike Wasdin.

I Don't Just Think I'm Right, I Know I Am!

"What you may feel is immoral may seem perfectly fine to me. If you find pornography immoral, don’t watch it. If certain sexual acts offend you, don’t do them. You can change the channel, close your eyes or leave the room, but it’s none of your business what other adults chose to do as long as it does not violate the rights of others. You have no right to decide for others what should be immoral. It’s YOUR god, they are YOUR rules, so YOU burn in hell!" Column by Mike Wasdin.

Mobocracy

"Most people would think I was crazy if I were to come to their house and start making decisions on their furniture, appliances, decorating choices or children, but these same people see nothing wrong with telling the proprietor of a business how he or she should be able to run their business, in which those same people also have nothing invested as far as money, time or risk."

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

"I guess we should all be happy though, Bush has promised to rid the earth of a really big problem...love. He will define who gets to love whom, and if your relationship does not agree with what his 'god' tells him is acceptable, he will amend the Constitution to help you make a better choice next time."

The People Have Spoken

"Don’t get me wrong; I was not a fan of Kerry, mind you. I guess I was just looking forward to having the boot move to the other side of my face, to give the right side a rest. I guess after four years of fascism, socialism actually seemed like a desired break." Exactly! Column by Mike Wasdin.

Four More Years

Recommended "I have been watching and listening to this crap since the days of Nixon. Every four years another loser steps up to the plate and tells us that all he needs is four years, and the previous loser claims that he just needs four more years. When will the sheeple learn? How many times do you have to be screwed? How many four more years will it take?" Column by Mike Wasdin.

Fear and Loathing in America

Bread and Circuses

"Ancient Rome has fallen and been replaced by the power elite in Washington , but the game is the same: keep the sheep fat, happy, and stupid as you send them off to die for the enrichment of the State. There seems to be no greater honor than sacrifice for the State, as long as it is someone else’s son or daughter." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Slaves of the State

"Sure you’re a slave, but isn’t it great to be an American? Other countries hate us for our freedoms; don’t let anyone tell you anything different. After all, it’s not so bad; you could be a slave in a less free country. You were fortunate enough to be born in the freest slave country in the world, hallelujah! " Column by Mike Wasdin.

Friends Don't Let Friends Vote!

Recommended "If I were having lunch with you, and in the middle of lunch I were to stand up and announce to everyone in the restaurant that you were buying everyone’s lunch, I am sure you would take issue with that. What about if I agreed to put it up for a vote, would that make it fair? If you agree to accept the result, then you are therefore legitimizing it, and agreeing to the outcome."

I See Brain Dead People

"When will people learn that it does not matter who you vote for, government still gets elected? I have not participated in the sham known as voting for 12 years now, and I am ashamed that I ever did. There is nothing more brain dead than the people who walk around with their 'I voted' pins stuck to their clothes on Election Day. To me it resembles a large beacon flashing the word 'moron' over and over again." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Words Scribbled on Parchment

"My hope is that in the future, people will stop putting their faith in words scribbled on parchment. The Constitution will not save us, nor will the Bill of Rights. If you must put your faith in something, put it in a Glock or a nice AR-15. At least with these, you have a fighting chance in defending your property, freedom and life, unlike mere words scribbled on parchment." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Enemy of the State

"Even though I now knew that others were not interested in freedom, I never thought that they would encumber my freedom. Surely just because they did not want to live free, they would not try to coerce me to accept their chains of slavery. Miserably, it would seem that slaves desire company. It is not enough that they are sheep, but you must join their herd as well." Column by new Root Striker Mike Wasdin.
