Derek Cressman gives us the tools, both intellectual and tactical, to fight back. There's nothing inherently unconstitutional in limiting the amount of speech, Cressman insists.

Democracy and capitalism can be painful, and you don't always like the outcomes. Some days, you win, but most days you lose. Under a dictatorship, life can be good for a time, but your ancestors will eventually starve and end up on a raft headed for a nearby capitalistic country. Marxism makes a lot of sense theoretically, but in practice, every time it has been tried it has failed. This can take a couple of decades, and the success of communism requires a parasitic relationship with a capitalistic system as it has to sell into this mixed market economy to meet the monetary needs of the ...

For over a decade now, the American economy has been on a rollercoaster - an economic boom between 2003 and 2008, followed by a severe economic downturn, and with a historically slow and weak recovery from 2009 until the present.

Russia, China, and Australia all have competing interests that differ but are related, and this book discusses why. The Australia and New Zealand that we know today will leave the Commonwealth by 2050, and the government will be taken over democratically by the Han Chinese and resemble something similar to Singapore's "People's Action Party", which is a communistic entity that markets itself democratically. The reality is that Chinese immigrants are great because they are educated, come with money, and don't commit crimes; they are also supported by the largest economy and ethnic group in ...
