This review is from: The atheist's guide to discussion with Catholics (Kindle Edition)

I enjoyed playing a part in this book. The book lists some of the many reasons why we atheists reject theism and gods in general. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for truth and not blindfolded faith.

Hey Brother Can You Spare a Buck?

It seems that everywhere I go these days I am being beseeched by someone or something. It used to be that other than the random bum on the corner, the only time I would be harassed was from the government in the form of taxes or other types of theft, but lately it seems like I can’t go anywhere without being besought . I had become accustomed to the bum on the corner with the “I will work for food” sign in hand and the occasional parking lot confrontation of “hey brother can you spare a dollar?” but lately the begging has elevated to a whole new level to include even that of the corporate world. Today it is not possible to go anywhere without being beseeched in some way.

It's That Time of Year Again

Exclusive to STR The Faux of July is once again making its annual pilgrimage into the hearts and brain dead minds of all good patriotic Amerikans. As it approaches my email box has become flooded with the usual brain dead messages sent by “sheeple” from Sea to Shining Sea. One that grabbed my attention recently was a little gem about the Pledge of Allegiance...

Dr. Evil to the Rescue

My question is, if it’s so easy to just create this kind of “money” out of thin air, why only half a trillion? Hell, let’s fire up those printing presses! I say we should make it $100 trillion dollars (my finger raised to the corner of my mouth) and let’s not stop there. Let’s give every person in this country let’s say . . . oh, I don’t know . . . $1 million (once again finger to mouth); that should really fix things!
The problem with this kind of thinking is it won’t work. All that will happen is the problem will get much worse, inflating our already devalued dollar. The government knows this yet still has no problem creating more “wealth” out of nothing. You cannot make something out of nothing; it doesn’t work that way. This is nothing more than a scheme, one that would land the average broker on Wall Street in prison, but the government gets away with it every day! The United States government is the number one counterfeiter in the world, the number one Ponzi scheme operator and the number one enemy of the free market system.

Death of Libertarianism

Those who know me know I define myself as an Anarcho-capitalist more than a Libertarian. I was never much on party politics so when describing myself politically I preferred the term Anarcho-capitalist to Libertarian because I did not associate myself with a voting group. With that said I always supported many Libertarian principles and admired several Libertarian candidates such as Harry Brown and Ron Paul.

Today I have lost what little respect I once had for the Libertarian Party with their nomination of Bob Barr. Libertarians are supposed to be for less government and more freedom. The Libertarian Party nomination of Barr as their candidate should be a slap in the face to any real Libertarian. Barr is not a Libertarian, never has been and he has made it obvious never will be.

The Faux of July

"Yes folks, the Faux of July is upon us, and it’s calling out to idiot Amerika. It won’t be long now before the sheep fire up the grills, throw on some burgers, drink a few beers, hoist their flags and pretend they are free; I guess ignorance really is bliss." Column by Mike Wasdin.

It's the Message, Stupid!

"I never really thought Ron Paul would survive his battle with Leviathan, but I was interested to see what the sheep would think of his message. After all, I had always thought if the sheep would listen to the message, they would no longer be sheep. I was wrong. I had spent most of my adult life telling others they just don’t 'get it,' but as it turned out, I was the one who did not 'get it.' The sheep 'get it' just fine, I am the one who has been delusional all these years for thinking people actually want to be free; they don’t." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Dumbocracy

"For six years now I have watched this Nazi and his cabal trash our freedoms and no one in the mainstream media seemed to notice. From the Patriot Act to the Military Commissions Act, we have all been lied to, spied on and abused, and all in the name of 'Dumbocracy' and 'Freedumb'." Column by Mike Wasdin.

In Search of a Scapegoat

"It seems the whole problem with government inefficiency can be traced back to one man by the name of Michael Brown; yes folks, he’s the one responsible for sure! " Column by Mike Wasdin.

In a Land of Sheep

Recommended "The headline reads, 'Waiting to Be Rescued' over a picture of thousands sitting and waiting for the government to save them, in a city that has now become a sewer. They’re waiting because they don’t know what else to do and have never had to think for themselves. What a pathetic people we have become that some would wait to be rescued, rather than do something to save their own life." Column by Mike Wasdin.

Funny Money

What's in a Name?

"I have always found it laughable that when the government wants to do something to screw over humanity (which is their reason for existence), they always find a way to give it a jingoistic or benevolent name." Column by Mike Wasdin.

The War on Humanity

"I’m sure everyone would have a different barometer to determine what freedom is, but to me there could be no greater gauge than looking at how many people a particular country puts into cages. How could a country that has the highest incarceration rate per capita claim to be the freest country? I find it obscene that anyone would consider the United States the freest country in the world!"

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.
