    I do. And while I am still skeptical of more intrusive regulations, I can not stand to see our country hollowed out, as you said, by the lowest bidder. I stated in the auto tariff thread, I was a Pat Buchanan "America First" man, long before I was a Ron Paul "Libertarian" man. What is going to be really painful to watch, is the progress and cost of rebuilding. Gonna be a nightmare for truckers, the only two routes to get north or south through Baltimore now is I-95 and I-895.

    Apologies. The counter-point is that these issues are actually quite complex and subtle, and the "conventional wisdom" on both left and right tends to be so wrong that it's just beyond belief. If you'd like to understand where I'm coming from, overall, I highly recommend Thomas Sowell's excellent and highly readable book, Basic Economics. I read that book in 2007 and it turned my world upside down. Note that I was a highly conservative Republican at that time, both culturally and economically. I had no idea how messed-up my economic beliefs were until I read BE. And, as a conservative, I was an economics genius compared to any typical moderate or left-leaning American. It's a problem so enormous that sometimes I despair of how it will ever be corrected. Milei-level of drastic is a bare-minimum. I think even more drastic measures would be required in the US because the stakes are so much higher. I don't even think about it very much because it's just too much to bear... I think we should not double-down on failed policies, and the War on Drugs is a proven failed policy. That doesn't mean I'm pro-legalization, I'm just anti-NEW-measures-which-are-proven-failures. We don't need to empower cops any more than they already are. And what else are you going to do to "get fentanyl off the streets" besides empowering our already tyrannical, redcoat police-forces?! What we need to do is wake up, as a nation, and start addressing the hard problems, in order of hardness. So yes, that means we need to confront the hardest problems first. And first among those is ending the Fed. That doesn't mean we need to complete the project of ending the Fed before addressing fentanyl. If I were "emperor pro-tempore" of America, this is the deal I would strike: if my fellow Americans are so eager to get fentanyl off the street, first pass a resolution that the Fed is going to be ended and set up a committee to research how that will be done, and then move on to fentanyl. And I would apply that same bargain for every issue that suburbanites care deeply about, because suburbanites automatically care about the wrong things. That's no fault of their own, because there is no good reason why they should care about the right things, that is, the incentives are all wrong. My point still stands: the government itself is the problem, not the solution. Adding more of the poison won't cure the problem created by the old poison.

    I highly recommend HBO's miniseries "Chernobyl". It is, IMO, the best television produced since "The Sopranos". Gorbachev, in his memoirs, stated that Chernobyl was the single final reason for the fall of the USSR. And the show makes it clear why that is.

    For the same reason that there are no requirements to have assist tugs escort vessels all the way to the sea buoy. For the same reason bridges do not have massive rock "rip raps" around them to stop a vessel. For the same reason cargo vessels are not built to the redundancy standards that the vessels I served as master on are built to. Because it's cheaper.

    If you're right, then the main battlefield is spiritual/religious. Which if you take a look over my post history in the last several years, is what I've been constantly harping on. This is not just politics anymore. It's spiritual. We need a renaissance of biblically-based Christianity in this country, because that's what it was built on. We've since gotten distracted with Yoga and Wicca and every new-fangled thing to come down the pike. Sure, the other religious perspectives are free to exist, but they are objectively inferior in terms of not only moral teachings but, even more importantly, their theological view of God, humans and society. A nation of people living in religious delusion is guaranteed to be unfit for a republic based on individual accountability and self-determination. OK and "First do no harm". The VERY first step is to stop causing new/fresh injuries. If someone is in a severe roadside collision and they are injured and in need of EMT, the first step is to let go of their ankle and stop dragging them along the side of the road causing new injuries to their spine/whatever. So, the first step that WTP need to take is to put a full-halt, forthwith, to all expansionary measures. That means: stop printing new money, stop expanding government expenditures, stop increasing government revenues, stop issuing subsidized credit to banks/etc. stop increasing regulations, stop making new laws, stop approving new weapons systems, stop deploying more troops, stop opening new theaters of war, etc. etc. etc. Also, do not allow the Fed to trigger a deflationary collapse... they need to be "freeze-framed" and forced to maintain exact ceteris paribus until WTP decide through Congress what to do with them and how to disband them. IOW, stop dragging the poor collision victim along the pavement and causing more and more massive new injuries. Once we STOP making new injuries, we can start the discussion over how to prepare for the arrival of the EMT, i.e. how to reverse the past century+ of ever-increasing damage that has been done by layers upon layers upon layers of government corruption and misguided interventions. That's not what I meant. What I mean is that they are taking a self-solving problem and they are characterizing it in terms of something that "WE need to stop." Self-solving problems can usually just be solved by freeing up private parties to defend their own property. When a homeless person gets shot and killed for trespassing in the loading dock of a local business, and the police arrive and say, "Good job, we need private citizens to defend their property so the whole burden is not on us", and no charges are pressed, the rest of them will flee like a flock of birds to some new destination. I don't have anything against the homeless, I've been homeless myself at one point. It can happen to anyone, most Americans do not realize how thin the line between themselves and homelessness. But these scourges are always the result of prior bad policy, and then the ruling class just uses the scourge itself as excuse to call for even more bad policy to fix the previous bad policy. This is the cycle of modern omnipotent government that has been going on, unchecked, for over a century.

    SEX ADDS YEARS TO YOUR LIFE! https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/sex-brain The Flashing Images above are designed to provide a "Mental Image" of what takes place when your brain's Pleasure Pathway is stimulated by activities associated with feeling good. Science now believes positive stimulation of your built in reward system can add many quality years to your life. Few activities stimulate our pleasure pathway more than Sexual Intercourse........... Science has concluded our Pleasure Pathway plays a much greater role in our lives than just the survival of the species. It is now believed this Reward System has to be sufficiently stimulated as often as daily, if we are to feel, function and perform to our maximum potential. We don't have to become "Thrill Seekers" to stimulate our Reward System. Even the wise use of the basic necessities of life, such as eating, drinking and physical exercise stimulate our "Pleasure Pathway." But staying sexually active has its own set of rewards because you receive so many benefits from one activity. According to recent studies frequent orgasms, at least 100 per year, can increase Life Expectancy by 3 to 8 years. Regular sexual activity is so beneficial to our health it is amazing how seldom it is discussed within this context. It lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol, and increases circulation. It raises the heartbeat from 70 to 150 beats per minute. Some studies have found that people who indulge in regular sex are half as likely to have heart attacks and strokes than those who don't have sex at all. Every muscle in the body is worked and toned during sex, particularly the pelvis, buttocks, stomach and arms. Thirty minutes of sex can burn as many as 200 calories. There is substantial evidence it reduces food cravings, helps control your appetite and assists your body in absorbing the nutrients from food more easily. It boosts immunity, aids in tissue repair, increases cognition, reduces stress, improves sleep, promotes strong bones and one study found that regular orgasms even dramatically reduces the incidence of the common cold.

    This, the hundreds of thousands of dead from drug overdoses, is more fallout from transitioning from a high IQ, High Trust, homogenous society to a low IQ, Low Trust, diversity society. Legacy whites either see what is going to happen to them or what has happened to their former homelands, and finding themselves hopeless and adrift and alone, they check out, either through drugs or suicide. It does not help the situation when the unwholesome flood of invading trash, come from nations that also have among the highest rates of drug overdose deaths in the world. https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/drug-use/by-country/

    Hmm, I think that's just not the right way to think about it. "Markets" don't "address" anything, they are just people producing and exchanging in order to make a living. Rather, when you get the government out of the business of trying to play Jesus, this allows the appropriate institutions to move in and do what they do best... charities, religions, education establishments, other NGOs. Most of the "public-policy problems" that our "leaders" constantly push into our faces are actually self-solving problems. Drug-addicts tend to die early. Contrary to conventional wisdom, self-selection is a real thing. Fewer addicts having children over the generations --> fewer addictive personalities in society. What creates more of a particular type of person (with dispositional/behavior problems) is government subsidy, because this artificially extends the life and reach of such persons which would otherwise be cut off by Nature much earlier. Thus, there is a relatively higher proportion of these undesirables than there would otherwise be. Consider the phenomenon of baby-mamas raising the spawn of their convict baby-daddy just released from prison who impregnated her, abandoned her, then got sent up on fresh charges due to re-offense... all paid for by you and me through taxes in the name of "child welfare". That child is the spawn of someone who, 100 years ago, would have died young, and childless. So, welfare is actually demographic warfare in disguise. This has nothing to do with "eugenics", quite the opposite, it is dysgenics. That's the point. The ultra-wealthy live in a cocoon that completely insulates them from all of this. They are at war with us, thus, they support policies that turn the public space into a living nightmare. They hack our worthless opinions about "The Way It Oughtta Be" to flip the entire social order on its head. In a democracy, everybody somehow "just knows" the way everything should be done, and that's precisely the hubris which the misanthropic "elites" use to flip us all on our heads, reducing the general social order to little more than a human cesspool. And everybody just goes on with life like everything's perfectly A-OK. Actually, the problems with living in most parts of the world are exaggerated here in the US. There are horrible places to live in every part of the world, including most major US cities. If you just film those parts, you can make any place look like an absolute shithole. And while the US is 1000x less free than it was a century ago, it's still not as unfree as many other parts of the world. The entire "American experiment", which we have pretty much forgotten since 9/11, was to demonstrate to the world -- by a living experimental demonstration -- that freedom produces both peace and prosperity. Thus, the Old World lie that "you must give up freedom to have security (peace) and prosperity" was exposed for the whole world to see. When the people of Podunkistan read and heard accounts of the American cities whose streets are paved with gold and where a man is free to do whatever he wants so long as he doesn't commit a crime, this caused them to wonder, "Why again do we have to have these tyrannical rulers here in Podunkistan? Freedom works great in America. There's no reason it couldn't work here, too." Needless to say, this scared the "elites" of Podunkistan absolutely shit-less. That could spell the end of their inter-generational parasitic scam! This is the real reason why the NWO came into being. The NWO doesn't originate within America, it originated within the Old World system, and that's really what it is... it's the Old World Beast System with a new mask on, calling itself "teh New World Order". I call them the Bug-Eaters because they're so obsessed with eating bugs. This is the snapback against the culture of Americans who flaunted their freedom to the whole world and demonstrated that peace and prosperity flow from freedom, not from the suppression of freedom. 9/11...

    The problem with this line of reasoning is that it just assumes that we have any choice in the matter. Effective enforcement is expensive. Therefore, you can't enforce everything, and you have to choose what is important to enforce, and how many things you are going to enforce (this is economics 101, the principle of alternative uses.) But because of the myth of omnipotent government, the modern West lives in almost total denial of this obvious reality. We are a culture of narcissists trapped in an echo-chamber of our own egotism, enabled by wantonly wasteful government expenditures on trivialities, while ignoring collapsing infrastructure. To sort through issues like this, States could pass ballot measures to ask "Which issue is more important? Stopping fentanyl distribution on the streets or stopping daylight break-ins of parked vehicles?" Using a computer algorithm, it is not difficult to construct a relatively small sample of questions like this that will allow you to then sort the issues in rank-order of importance, reflecting the "values" of the public, at least, on the issues in the list. Once you have this list, you can then configure public-policy accordingly. The most government expenditures should go to solving the first problem on the list, less expenditures should go to the second problem on the list, even less to the third problem, and so on down the list. While this is still less efficient than market methods, it's at least rational given government control of law, courts, police, etc. What we have now is not rational towards any end which is consistent with the public good, broadly construed. This situation did not come about by accident, either. Our systems of government are being actively sabotaged.

    This was the genius of the Founding Fathers. We don't have to "just know" whether drugs should be legal/illegal. Rather, every State in the union has authority from the Constitution to set their own laws in their own State. So, the correct answer to the vast majority of modern "national issues" is not legalization, or illegalization, it is de-federalization. There are a few things that do need to be Federal. You have to have a proper election in your State for the electors, representatives, etc. otherwise, you are potentially allowing a North Korea to be a State in the Union, and that's no good. So, those are the things that ought to be federalized, but SCOTUS treats them as "States' rights". Amazing. On the flip-side, issues like abortion and drug legalization are clearly not within the authority of Congress to regulate, and are issues reserved solely to the discretion of each state under the 9th and 10th amendments. The purpose of the Constitution was to act as a framework or foundation under which the States -- each of which is a government in its own right -- could set local laws according to the views of their own citizens and, through a process of competition between these various legal regimes, the best policies would tend to emerge over time. There are a couple quotes from the Founders to this effect although I've forgotten the citations. This is one of the most misunderstood principles of the founding of the US government, and it's an absolute travesty that American school-children are not taught this in their government indoctrination centers schools.

    I just started looking at the Constitution Party platform since you recommended it awhile back. There are some good things in it, but there are also some concessions to statism that I think are dangerous despite the fact that I'm moving away from strict anarcho-capitalist libertarianism. They support regulation of "obscenity", which isn't really defined, they support some drug restrictions, and they are careful to show their respect for agents of our currently illegitimate state (veterans), as well as condemning attempts to cut their benefits despite the fact that they are paid out of our pockets and for participating in unjust wars for an unjust system.

    The Constitution Party isn't all bad, and I might support some of their candidates, but I don't think there is any party I can support on principle (LP is pro-choice so not an option) I respect strict theonomy even though I'm not sure I agree with it yet. I don't think anybody believes what I'm starting to believe these days.

    OK, so my question is, with relations to Galatians, how is it that you can call Roman Catholics on this board "brothers" even though they add works to the gospel just like the Judaizers did? How is adding baptism as a requirement in order to be saved any different than adding circumcision as a requirement?
