For many in the militant libertarian wing within the GOP (and outside of it), Ron Paul has emerged as Moses come to lead the American people out of the land of big spending liberal statists and hair-trigger Neocon Pharaohs. They see Paul as an outsider on the inside, despite having first entered politics when I was more

Steve Jobs Leaves Behind a World He Made
Brad Schaeffer wrote on October 9th, 2011 at 8:30 am
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me.… Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful—that’s what matters to me.”
R.I.P Steve Jobs. He was the patron saint of entrepreneurs. Newton once reflected that if his vision extended farther than others’ it was because he stood upon the shoulders of giants. more
Cain Was Not Playing A ‘Race Card’
Brad Schaeffer wrote on October 4th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
There is a difference between being post-racial and racially blind. Herman Cain’s resume is as long as my driveway. He is highly intelligent and energetic, a mathematician and Navy man who exudes positivism and confidence and has accomplished much. He will tell anyone who listens that he owes much of his success to the opportunities more
Gold’s Value? It’s What We Give it.
Brad Schaeffer wrote on September 28th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Eli Lehrer misrepresents my intentions in his most recent piece. To be clear, my article was not making a case for buying gold going forward per se. Trading in commodities is a volatile and highly leveraged activity, and I would not presume to advise the general public on it. As I said in my previous more
Numbers Don’t Lie, Gold Has Done Well
Brad Schaeffer wrote on September 27th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Kenneth Silber recently called out Glenn Beck and others for their perpetual bullishness on gold. However, even a cursory glance at a gold chart shows that one would have been handsomely rewarded for following Mr. Beck’s advice.
From the time the Fed began its cheap money campaign back in 2001, the price of gold has increased from $265/ounce to a whopping more
Here’s “My Share”
Brad Schaeffer wrote on September 23rd, 2011 at 12:01 pm
A friend of mine has a sister who has been broke for years. Ten years ago he got heartsick over watching her struggle while his own career took off, so he began supporting her by supplementing her small income with his own money. He makes $300,000 a year and gives her $30,000 a year to more
I’m Already Paying “My Share” Ms. Warren-And More
Brad Schaeffer wrote on September 22nd, 2011 at 5:29 pm
A video from Elizabeth Warren’s campaign tour in Massachusetts, has been circulating online. In it she justifies on moral grounds the need to raise taxes on “the rich”.
As her thin platform from which to launch a tax-the-rich clarion call, she refers to a hypothetical factory owner who must use roads ”the rest of us paid for” more
Commemorating Antietam
Brad Schaeffer wrote on September 17th, 2011 at 12:21 am
If you ask most Americans what was the bloodiest day in our history, you would probably get either 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, depending on the age of the responder. Neither would be correct.
In Western Maryland is a sluggish creek called the Antietam. more
Open Up Canada’s Oil Lifeline
Brad Schaeffer wrote on August 31st, 2011 at 1:19 pm
I was on Fox Business last night discussing TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline was proposed in 2008 as a 1,600 mile extension to an existing network. Its would tap into oil currently being extracted from Alberta’s controversial tar sands and ship it south to a storage facility at Cushing, Oklahoma and again to the Gulf Coast for more
Why I’m Done With Sarah Palin
Brad Schaeffer wrote on August 16th, 2011 at 10:56 am
I used to be a fan of Sarah Palin, but even I can see that the best thing for her to do now is to step aside.
When Sarah Palin first exploded on the scene at the 2008 Republican convention as John McCain’s running-mate, I was enthralled. Yes, I admit, I thought she was terrific. Here was more

Fed Turns a Blind Eye to Energy Inflation
Brad Schaeffer wrote on April 29th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Food and energy prices were at the forefront of Reagan’s inflation fears in the 80s. Why then is the administration and Fed ignoring the rise in those prices now? more
Chris Matthews’ Mediscare Won’t Work

Tea Partiers Still Hooked on Handouts
