Jim Ostrowski’s first 3 radio shows on WNYM radio have been phenomenal.  His guest lineup has had enough political and economic knowledge to vastly improve the State of the Nation, at all levels, including the local level.

  • Week 1 was a real treat with Congressman Ron Paul as the guest.  Dr. Paul is a longshot Republican candidate for president in 2008.  Dr. Paul also represents America’s best hope to straighten out the mess we call Government.
  • Week 2 ushered in Chris Collins, a Republican candidate for Erie County Executive.  Chris Collins is a name that doesn’t carry the loads of political baggage we are usually presented with in local elections.
  • Week 3 ushered in Lew Rockwell, President and Founder of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.  He is also the publisher of LewRockwell.com, which features a collection of nationally renowned contributors, as well as a widely read blog.  In fact, LewRockwell.com is probably the most widely read libertarian site in the world and attracts about a half million visits per month.
  • Week 4, Thursday, April 19 at 1pm, Justin Raimondo will be Jim’s guest.  Justin is and author and the editorial director of AntiWar.com.

Tune in Thursdays at 1pm, or check out the podcasts, for stimulating discussions of the top issues facing us locally and nationally.  The knowledge you will gain is not taught in most of the mainstream propaganda factories that pass as public education. 

 

The Reason for War

. . .[I]n its primary role the welfare-warfare state is a grand scheme to enable a ruling class, through its complex bureaucracy and ideological smokescreens, to transfer wealth from the industrious classes to itself. This system deceives and compels the taxpaying producers to support a tax-consuming aristocracy, which includes the bureaucracy and corporations that exist on government contracts.

When war is viewed in this context, you can see that the real mission of the Bush administration has been very successful.

Best Concise Description of the Sabres Win

Netflix Delivers DVDs to your home. NO LATE FEES. Try for FREE!

As for the Islanders, I hope for their sake that their game plan was predicated around stealing Game 1 on the road. Because their plan of take no chances, never have the defense pinch, and wait for Buffalo to screw up and hope your goalie steals a game is no way for them to win a series. They can win a game that way, but not the series. Hell, who am I kidding? They can’t win the series.

That statement, by Kevin on Bflo.blog, pretty much sums up the Sabres 4-1 victory of the Islanders last night.

Target is using the Government to use eminent domain to take over property for a new superstore.  This will put many small store owners out of business.  You can deliver a letter to give to your local Target manager to protest this violation of property rights.  Click the image below to view the letter here, click the link to download the flyer and take a minute to visit The Sam Adams Alliance by following the link at the end of this post.

Stop Eminent Domain Abuse….Stand Up for Property Rights….Tell Target Corporation to stop this injustice today!
updated graphicRight now, a group of small business owners are fighting to save their businesses and stop eminent domain abuse in the village of Arlington Heights, Illinois.    
Village trustees are planning to bulldoze International Plaza to make way for a Target superstore—and for higher tax revenues.

The choices are learning how to fish or letting the government take fish from some people to feed others.  The latter doesn’t sound very “American” to me.

Liberals differ from Libertarians mainly in two aspects: Government and redistribution of private wealth and autonomy for private enterprise. Government has always been the tool to promote coerced redistribution of wealth. Liberals want to take it away from those who managed to generate some degree of financial security and give it to those who weren’t smart or maybe weren’t hard-working enough. Liberals despise private enterprise because they are uncomfortable with the thought of someone getting wealthy due to their enterprising attitude.

There is an old Chinese proverb that goes as follows: “Give me a fish and you will feed me for a day. Teach me how to fish and you will feed me for life.” Social welfare creates a sense of security that keeps people from discovering their true potential. There are people in our society who are comfortable with the thought that they will be fed, clothed and sheltered no matter what. Such security paralyzes people’s ability to discover their true potential in this land of opportunities.

Liberals and pro-big government lobbies have been responsible for the explosion of the size of our social welfare programs over the last century. Some did it out of compassion; while others did it out of their desire to cement the importance of government in our society. Liberals blame the financially successful for the plight of those who just failed to find a good reason to find a way out of their miseries.

Libertarians realized that while not everyone is born with similar entrepreneurial capabilities, the gifted few can prosper in a free-market atmosphere and thus create opportunities for those have the will to work hard and to become a part an economic machine marked by voluntarism. While Liberals want to use the government to snatch the fish from the fisherman and give it to the poor, Libertarians have always taken the initiative to motivate the poor to learn how to fish so that no one has to part with their hard earned wages, involuntarily.
