		<description><![CDATA[The word revolution seems to get bandied about regularly at election time. Currently, the Tea Party is considered by many to be a coming revolution, but is it really? When you talk to about revolution, the American Revolution stands as the greatest example. For those who are a little more historical, they may also look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other week I was debating a guy on Facebook, who was telling me how government has to provide certain services. I&#8217;m pretty sure it began because of the Tennessee fire fighters watching a house burn down. Of course as most of these arguments go, the Postal Service was brought up. The argument he was [...]]]></description>

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&#8217;s regulator said Thursday that the companies could end up costing the government $363 billion as they absorb losses from bad mortgages.

		<description><![CDATA[California has a initiative on the upcoming ballot to legalize marijuana, and it looks like it has the feds worried. Attorney General Eric Holder said the Obama administration &#8220;strongly opposes&#8221; a California ballot measure to legalize marijuana, warning that federal drug-enforcement efforts would be &#8220;greatly complicated&#8221; if the measure passes. I was under the impression the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent study came out saying that bans on texting while driving have actually increased the number of accidents in 3 out of 4 of the states that put the bans in place. Is this shocking to anyone who realizes the government cannot regulate human behavior with one size fits all solutions? It shouldn&#8217;t be. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having seen a complete smearing of the free market and libertarianism because of this Tennessee fire fiasco, I figured I should chime in with my four cents (two cents just aren&#8217;t what they once were thanks to the Fed). The argument goes that because the government charged a $75/year fee for fire protection and then [...]]]></description>

It sure isn&#8217;t setup to protect anyone&#8217;s liberty. Look at our prisons, our legislation, and our courts. Of course laws are made by lobbyists. The average Joe just wants left alone.

According to Wikipedia, it is very close to the truth, except for names and minor details like how many lawyers were on the plaintiff&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
