The Political Left's Method of Argumentation and How to Undercut it

In his brilliant op-ed this month in Forbes, Why Is The Tea Party 'Extremist,' But Democratic Support For Big Government 'Moderate'?, columnist Peter Schwartz dissects the political left's method of combining non-essentials into deceptive "package-deals," - obfuscating ideas that group together non-essentials, thereby confusing issues.

The foremost example Schwartz provides is the left's labeling of their enemies as "extremists", a package-deal that groups together anyone who passionately stands by their beliefs, whether they be extreme advocates of slavery or extreme advocates of liberty. By dissecting this method of thinking and argumentation, Schwartz provides advocates of freedom with an understanding of how to fundamentally undercut the left's intellectual attacks.  If you read any op-ed this month, read this important piece. It will truly enable you to better defend liberty.

The Death Of The American Way Of Life

In the overwhelming traffic of political rhetoric that floods our daily media, there are few pieces of wisdom that are worth their weight in gold. This piece from Don Watkins at the Ayn Rand Institute on the fundamental principles of America is one of them.

It is the kind of writing that changes minds, and changes them to face urgently important truths. If you can read anything this day, this week, this month, or this year, go read Don's piece. Whether you agree with it or not, you will be a better person for having read and seriously considered it.
