Above all else, things must be fair
Posted on13. Oct, 2011 by Tommy Newberry.
For statists, above all else, things must be fair. And by “things,” they mean everything. And by “fair,” they don’t mean equal opportunity or equal rules—they mean equal outcomes. The problem is that life is naturally unfair. Liberty breeds inequality—when people are free, those who are smarter, better motivated, and harder-working will achieve more than [...]

Mr. Class Warfare
Posted on21. Sep, 2011 by Tommy Newberry.
President Barack Obama’s attacks on “the rich” doesn’t help the economy, doesn’t create jobs, and it does not inspire excellence. Obama in his most recent rant against wealthy citizens said, “Middle-class families shouldn’t pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires. That’s pretty straightforward. It’s hard to argue against that.” However the facts are, once again, [...]

“Each year at this time school children all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it.

Phony Government-Created “Jobs” Become Predictable Failure
Posted on04. Oct, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
Late last week somewhere in the ballpark of 250,000 workers were “terminated” when the tax-payer funded “jobs” ran out of tax payer cash. No doubt these “jobs” fell into Obama and Biden’s fictional “jobs created or saved “ category. Consistent with Natural Law, however, pretend work creates nothing but pretend value for fellow citizens. Therefore, [...]

Jack Welch…Team Obama Is Anti-Business, should be portraying entrepreneurs as heroes, not bums
Posted on23. Sep, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
Using the weapons of intimidation, trade, taxes, regulation and caustic rhetoric, the Obama administration has been making things worse, not better. According to Welch, the government should make it easier for companies to grow and invest, but they are not doing so. Obama should be making heroes out of entrepreneurs, not villains. Business owners should [...]

The Law of Harvest or Socialism? you decide in 40 days
Posted on22. Sep, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
The principle of the harvest states that we will reap what we have sown. The Bible says, “The point is this; he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” This is a wonderful promise and it reminds us to keep our attention on the planting if [...]
