In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, I welcome in Republican Candidate for Senate in Georgia, Derrick Grayson, better known as TMOT aka The Minister of Truth to many in the libertarian community for his entertaining YouTube videos. Mr. Grayson describes how he first began making his “Drive Time with TMOT” videos on YouTube and how he came up with the TMOT moniker. Derrick explains how he first became a passionate advocate of the ideas of liberty through

Welcome to your Thursday edition of The Morning Roar! It’s Time To Lower The Drinking Age A recent opinion article by Camille Paglia in Time made the assertion that it is time to lower the drinking age in the U.S. to align with the rest of the civilized world. Throughout the article the self-proclaimed libertarian author utilized only two of the three ethical philosophies of liberty, emotivist and utilitarian. It is exciting to see a mainstream outlet make the case for the

Let The Market Work

Nearing the end of World War II, Keynesian-minded economists freaked out. The wage and price controls put in place to bolster the war effort were soon coming to an end. Paul Samuelson, the economist who unleashed the crazed thinking of Keynes on college campuses all over the world with his textbook Economics, led the worrywart effort. Writing in Postwar Economic Problems, Samuelson expressed concern that demobilization of military personnel and the liquidating of price controls combined with deficit reduction would usher in “the

Were Pulitzer Prizes Awarded To Traitors?

I rarely write rebuttals to articles, but sometimes an article is written that is odious and ignorant enough to warrant a counter-article in order to clear the air of the pollution that these mole-sighted “journalists” vomit into our collective consciousness. The article of note in this case is an editorial by conservative hack Michael Goodwin, who is currently poisoning minds at the NY Post. Goodwin wrote an article on April 20th titled, ”The Pulitzers Reward Traitors and Treason.” I will utilize

Welcome to your Wednesday edition of The Morning Roar! Obama Administration Must Explain It’s Rationale for Murder by Drone Earlier this week a Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a previous ruling that allowed the Obama administration to keep secret it’s legal rationale for murdering American citizens abroad via drone strike, as it has in the cases of Anwar Al-Awlaki and his teenage son Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki. Judge Jon O. Newman writes on behalf of the court: We emphasize at the outset

The Children are Confused (or Just Being Used)

By Bionic Mosquito Today must be conspiracy theory day. While my earlier post is an example of the awakening in the mainstream (academia) this time toward the reality that elites control the state, this post is an example of the children not keeping up with their elders. Once again, the culprit is to be found associated with the Students of Liberty. The post is a few years old, but apparently was posted again recently. The post is entitled “Conspiracy Theories Hurt the Liberty Movement.” The

Welcome to your Tuesday edition of The Morning Roar! Elderly Man Calls 911 & Receives Violent Beating from Police In a story that could easily be a Felony Friday headline, an elderly man named Elbert Breshears found out the hard way why many libertarians strongly recommend you never, ever, ever call the police. Breshears called 911 in Humansville, MO in order to receive assistance in dealing with his wife, who has dementia and had broken one of the windows in their house. He

Mondays with Murray: How to Advance Liberty Through Politics

With midterm election season in full swing, and coming off of my recent interview with the great Murray Sabrin for the Lions of Liberty Podcast, it seems like an appropriate time to examine the role of political action when it comes to advancing the ideas of liberty. As I see it there are generally three schools of thought among libertarians when it comes to the relationship between liberty and politics. First, we have those who believe political action should be

The Morning Roar: Justice Scalia Tells Crowd To Revolt If Taxes Go “Too High,” Lawmakers Look To Ban Microbeads In Soap, And High Speed Police Chase Catches Woman That Stole $140 Of Merchandise

Justice Scalia Tells Crowd To Revolt If Taxes Go “Too High” Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had a surprise response when a student asked a question during a speaking event at the University of Tennessee College of Law. CBS Washington DC reports on the longest-serving justice’s reply when asked about the constitutionality of the income tax. Scalia responded that the government has the right to implement the tax, “but if it reaches a certain point, perhaps you should revolt.” He

Felony Friday: Seattle Firefighters Avoid Felony Charges In Assault Of Homeless Man

Posted on April 18, 2014 by John Odermatt Posted in Police State 2 Comments

Violent attacks on homeless people by tax-siphoning State agents have seemingly increased in recent times. Perhaps law enforcement has always lashed out against the less fortunate who are unable to protect themselves and the growth of Internet media has assisted by shining a spotlight to expose these incidents. Regardless of the reason why, incidents that reveal appalling police abuses on homeless victims have gained exposure in the past few months as violent videos have gone viral on the internet. Two especially terrible incidents,
