The problem with the hyper-expansion of international organizations the last few decades is that it’s almost impossible to keep track of all the things they’re doing to “improve” planet earth and its citizens’ lives. Here’s the latest bad idea from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which has had a string of them, from Mark Nestman on a guest post at theburningplatform.com:

Leave it to bureaucrats to decide that while some competition is good, too much is bad. In a nutshell, that’s what the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) ongoing campaign against lower taxes is all about. And now, they’re taking it to a whole new level.

Back in 1998, the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs (CFA) released a report outlining what it perceived as a dangerous trend: more and more countries were reducing taxes. The OECD called this trend “harmful tax competition.” It was dangerous…

Guns and freedom come together or they go together.

1. Priest Pfleger Says To Ban High Capacity Magazines And Title Guns Like Cars – 2015-06-16 07:09:37-04
   In a speaking engagement at St. George Catholic Church, Father Pfleger said the following: “We should ban assault weapons in America. We should ban high capacity magazines in America. We should title guns like cars in America. And when the gun manufacturers make less money, the gun lobbyists get paid less money. So that’s why Continue reading here…

“Bring Your Guns to Church”: It Was the Law.

It is a fundamental principle of Natural Law that rights can intersect, but they cannot contradict each other.  Our society no longer understands this, and it has lead people to claim rights that do not exist while denying rights that are fundamental to the being of every human being.

First, rights can intersect.  My right to exercise my free will can overlap with your right to exercise your free will.  It is from this area — where our Natural Rights overlap — that morality is derived.  I have explained it here.  But this is the part where most people get confused.  Just because our rights overlap, this does not mean that they can negate the rights of another person.  The homosexual agenda is a perfect example of what I mean.

So long as we do not cause physical harm to another person, or trample on their ability to exercise…

What Liberals Refuse to Acknowledge About Gun Violence.

Psychology is the new religion, and psychologists and psychiatrists are the new priests. Instead of the Lord’s Supper where a person is to examine himself against an objective moral standard, that is, to evaluate his or her moral nature, the psychological priests give them drugs.

I realize that I am using a controversial example to illustrate the point of this post, so let me start by making this perfectly clear: I oppose slavery — in every form!

That said, it is a matter of fact that the North was in the wrong, and the South was (is) justified to call it “The War of Northern Aggression.”  The right to secede from the Union was clearly stated by the men who wrote and ratified the Constitution.  But, because the South seceded over the issue of slavery, the issue has become so clouded by emotion that no one can see that the Civil War really was about States’ rights.

Let us first understand that the founding fathers understood that the States were free to leave the Union:

If any state in the Union will declare that it prefers separation… to a continuance in union… I…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court has handed down three consecutive rulings affirming the right of Americans to be free from government overreach. The Rutherford Institute advanced arguments in all three cases, which respectively deal with the use of tasers and excessive force by prison officials (Kingsley v. Hendrickson); the practice of police gaining unfettered access to motel and hotel guest registries (City of Los Angeles v. Patel); and the government’s confiscation of agricultural crops without any guarantee or promise of payment (Horne v. U.S. Department of Agriculture).

“In a police state, there is no need for judges, juries or courts of law, because the police act as judge, jury and law, and their version of justice is one-sided, delivered at the end of a gun, taser or riot stick,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and…
