I like Gary North. His older stuff might be a bit too Theocratic, Rushdoony-style, though. He writes regularly on Lew Rockwell’s site (LRC)
I don’t read much of anything else at LRC, but I do peek at North’s stuff there. Here is the archive of his articles.
Unfortunately, much of what is written in Libertarian circles [...]
Alexander and I have been talking. So far we’ve agreed on the following:
1. We have agreed that purely voluntary governments may have a right to exist. But this really challenges our definition of government. If it is merely an association for collective action, yet remains voluntary, there is no reason to quibble. What introduces compromise [...]
Lifeboat, folks.

First, I am ashamed to admit that I actually uttered this phrase tonight. I came up with it all on my own. Ugh.
But why?
We watched Prince Caspian (again) tonight with my kids, and enjoyed Regina Spektor’s song over the credits so much we You Tube’d her for a while. Tiring of her, I switched to [...]
I read a lot…. of blogs. It is true that blogging really cuts into reading of actual books, something which I really need to develop the discipline to overcome.
The rest of the Juris family, on the other hand, has been reading up a storm:
Mrs. Juris:
1. Persepolis: Iranian liberal manga. Really good.
2. German Boy: I was [...]
Christmas, Part III (The Christmas Eve service)
First, for worship, we bring in Derek Webb, to remind us that
poverty is so hard to see
when it’s only on your tv and twenty miles across town
where we’re all living so good
that we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood
where he’s hungry and not feeling so good
from going through our trash
he [...]
… even though it could hurt me professionally.
A friend and I were discussing this the other day. Could it hurt my job prospects?
I suppose writing about my two passions on the same blog might open me up to contradiction, or professional criticism. I know that many places in the job market (This is still 4+ [...]
Christmas, Part II
Many will spend some portion of this week with family. There will be joy, laughter, singing, anger, hurt, and screaming. In short, there will be drama, more than any author could create artificially. This season, my grandmother’s Alzheimer’s has acted up, and she may need to be put into special care. So my [...]
Christmas, Part I: Our Neighbor
For Christmas, it is important to look about you. Not too far away, but not too close. Recognize the Creator through His creation. Acknowledge that the baby may be lying in the manger next door.
Blockquoting G.K. Chesteron:
We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door [...]
The problem is illustrative.
1. Christians should advocate open borders. Any other position advocates protection of privilege for those who already hold US citizenship. All privilege is evil.
2. Christians should put the government out of the welfare business by doing a better job of it on their own.
3. Making immigration free puts all the [...]
