The final push against the TSA in Texas
May 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I have been at the forefront of fighting the TSA’s “enhanced security” theater in Texas for some time. We have gained so much momentum in the last month that now even the Feds are taking notice. Yesterday, the US Department of Justice waltzed into the Texas Capitol with a letter to the Lt. Governor, saying [...]

May 13, 2011 By 1 Comment
A few days I ago I posted on my main website, LibertarianChristians.com, about David Simpson, the heroic Texas representative who is taking a serious lead in fighting back against the TSA and more in the Texas House.

Rango: A Libertarian Spiritual Epic
March 20, 2011 By 5 Comments
I saw Rango to enjoy the combined hijinks of Jonny Depp and other cartoon animals, and in this I was not disappointed; however it was not at all the most memorable aspect of the experience. Rango led me to entirely unexpected places. It is not simply a cartoon about a lizard, but a journey into [...]

It’s called StopAustinScanners.org. Check it out, I bet you’ll learn something! We are working on a [...]
