Everyday as I walk into my office at 55 Broad Street I glance over at a plaque commemorating Marinus Willet  who on June 6th, 1775  along with a small group of  men seized five wagonloads of arms from British Troops evacuating New York City.  The men were members of the Sons of Liberty, a group

I’ve never been one to keep quiet about my politics – much to the dismay and horror of many of my Leftist friends.  It usually doesn’t take too long for my business associates,  customers and vendors to get the message either.  It probably costs me some business but the alternative costs me something a lot more

There can’t be a better poster child for back room sleazy deals and elitist government than Ben Bernanke.  Stubbornly sticking to his position that the U.S.  Congress and the people can’t handle the truth about who has their hands in the people’s cookie jar has got him into some trouble from all parts of the political spectrum.

Are you kidding?  New York State has a $7 billion budget deficit. Paterson is the only major party politician who has shown any leadership in addressing the deficit. And the press gives legs to a highly questionable story about Paterson’s personal business with a woman who didn’t complain – even if the incident happened at

Rich Cooper’s Ground Report blog has a great post about Warren Redlich and his potential run for Governor on the LP and GOP lines.  Rich writes: His candidacy was sought by two former State Chairs of theLibertarian Party, Eric Sundwall and me, who believed the Albany area lawyer can harness the energies of the RonPaul

Mary Ruwart has a Ph.D in biophysics, taught surgery at St. Louis University Medical School and was a pharmaceutical research scientist for Upjohn.   Sounds like she probably knows something about health care which the vast majority of US Senators and Congressmembers do not. She also nearly won the 2008 Libertarian Presidential nomination only losing to Bob Barr on the
