To those of us living as free thinkers, 2020 has been a trying year if not disheartening.
The collapse of truth, trust, science, liberty and common sense has been startling to the say the least.
Great public intellectuals and thinkers have helped us along trying to survive and cut through the fog and fury amidst us. One of them was Walter Williams.
Unfortunately, Williams passed away this past week.
That leaves Thomas Sowell as one of the last of the great liberty thinkers in the tradition of Friedman, Rothbard and others.
I discovered Williams when he was a guest host for Rush Limbaugh and was immediately taken in with his reasoned passion - if there's such a thing. St. Thomas of Aquinas would have been proud I reckon.
Williams was resolute in his principles on liberty. A key lesson people could learn from.
He will be missed. But we must forge on.
The enemy is at the door.

I just want to say. Your rights DO MATTER during this health panic. One of the worst lessons and precedences being set here is the idea that your rights are negotiable. There is no ranking system whereby politicians can simply slot values as they see fit. Your rights are negative rights. They're INALIENABLE GIVEN BY THE AUTHORITY OF GOD. You have FREE WILL.
Meekly handing off this human rights as we have in the interest of 'public health' is an assault on human reason and rights.
Do not be emotionally bullied with short-sighted and shallow thinking, slogans and propaganda. One I see a lot is "Your rights don't matter when you're dead'. It's a spin on 'your free speech ends with my offence'.
I can but appeal to sensible minds who can see directly into the perniciousness and outright moral and intellectual bankruptcy of such flippantly myopic statements.
BE FREE.
Celebrate Christmas.
Do NOT cede an inch. Have you not seen they've taken two feet?
