The following is a work in progress. This forms the first two pages of my 30-page semester project. It will be added to and expanded as time goes.
INTRODUCTION
As a political movement, libertarianism is of recent origin. It is rooted in the American alternative tradition, and its pioneers were united by their common realization that all [...]

My favorite book I’ve read this semester has got to be Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition.
Next up would be Friedrich V. Hayek’s The Constitution of Liberty. This is research for a paper, but I’ve really enjoyed it. So far, I have eleven pages of quotes from the book. Here’s a few good ones.
“While the [...]

All hype aside, it appears that the court is stating blankly that according to California law, minor children must be enrolled in school, and homeschooling is not an option. To quote the opinion:
It is clear to us that enrollment and attendance in a public full-time day school is required by California law for minor children [...]

Since everyone keeps asking, here’s my take on Mike Huckabee’s presidential candidacy.
Mike Huckabee: Faith, Family, Freedom.

Robert Novak writes,
Who would respond to criticism from the Club for Growth by calling the conservative, free-market campaign organization the “Club for Greed”?

Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.
