PRINCIPLEX

This is dedicated to the individual and his freedom. The long journey of history is the individual becoming responsible for his own life while living in a civilization of individuals. "Man's mind is his basic means of survival," an individual reasoning faculty. Attempts to bypass this fact are doomed. Man, having a particular nature as does all of existence, is bound and at the same time free to create whole new worlds by recombining the raw material that nature provides without end.

Government Spending Does NOT Stimulate Economic Growth

An article at The Heritage Foundation illustrates "Why Government Spending Does Not Stimulate Economic Growth." It answers the critics. Go Here!

If spending did stimulate one's economic growth then if one lost his job, the best thing to do would be to go out and borrow money to add to his house or buy a new car, right? When is government going to grasp the fact that it is not exempt from the laws of reality? The way it is operating, it appears it will not be anytime soon.

Quotes I like

"Compassion has become the human face of contempt. A misplaced compassion degrades both the victims, who are reduced to objects of pity, and their would-be benefactors, who find it easier to pity their fellow citizens than to hold them up to impersonal standards, attainment of which would entitle them to respect." - Christopher Lasch
"When they attack one personally it means they haven't a single political argument left." - - Margaret Thatcher.
"A nation that wishes to be ignorant and free wishes for what never was and never will be." - - Thomas Jefferson
"Each one of us has the power—and must develop the will—to be the hero of his own life. We believe in goals, in purposes, in achievement and in the joy of living." - - Andrew Bernstein
The Nanny Statist's Creed: "We are smart unlike you; We are free from greed, unlike you; We must, therefore, save you from yourself and force you to a sensible life." -- Scott Johnson, powerlineblog
"Have you noticed that the imbecile always smiles? Man’s first frown is the first touch of God on his forehead. The touch of thought…" - - Ayn Rand
"Human Rights, distinct from Individual Rights, puts an end to the possibility of being human." - - Butterbaugh
