Liberty on the Rocks™ Denver

AMES, IOWA – I’m not going to sugarcoat things: our first day in Ames sucked. It was the Sunday the 27th of September as the three of us rolled into town and as usual, found a Starbucks and got to work. To fight the cabin-fever Adam and I decided to walk and drive the city [...]

MANKATO, MN – Tomorrow (Thursday, October 1st) is the Free State Project’s (FSP) money bomb. Their goal – to raise $20,000. For those unfamiliar with the FSP the organization is basically a vehicle to get freedom-oriented activists to concentrate in one geographical area (New Hampshire was chosen due to it’s relatively low tax burden, economic [...]

What’s yours? Here’s mine:
1976 (first year I was eligible): Carter (not actually sure I voted, but I remember sitting in my car drinking beer at Hubley Bridge near Mason City at daylight the day after the election, and thinking, “A New Day Has Dawned.”
Was I right, or was I right?
1980: Carter. I was in the [...]

AMES, IA – When we realized our route would take us through Kansas City we contacted Brad Spangler, with whom we crossed paths in many places online but had yet to meet in person. The reason?

AMES, IA – A few months back, just prior to our denial of entry into Canada, we had the great pleasure of stopping by the Foundation for Economic Education just north of NYC.

(We’re in Iowa) This post best read to Dust in the Wind by, yes, Kansas.

AMES, IOWA – After picking Pete up in Wichita, Kansas we headed north on I-35 toward Emporia, Kansas (photos & video). It was there where we we spotted the National Teachers Museum. We rolled up to a large building but under [...]

KANSAS CITY, KS – As Adam noted a few months back on the Thank You Thursday: MHD Comes Full Circle post, Jeff Frazee, executive director of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) and his colleagues opened their home to Jason and MARV – providing a place to park MARV, get electricity, do laundry, etc. Jeff also [...]

Our old friend Shareef Aleem called in to the Crapless and Silverfish, (h/t serious writer Benjie) show just now, defending terror suspect Najibullah Zazi as innocent until proven guilty (fine, fine) and calling him “Brother” as Muslims are wont to do.
