The Olympics: Individualism in an Era of Collectivism

Posted on August 6, 2012 by D3 Support

The Medium is Not the Malady

Posted on August 4, 2012 by D3 Support

Was Steve Jobs a Great Man?

Posted on August 1, 2012 by D3 Support

Dear Dr. Hurd: I’m reading Steve Jobs’ biography. While he was certainly a genius, an independent thinker and visionary, he was also a liar, childish and unethical. Many call him a great man, but I do not. I think a … Continue reading →

Conservatives Get It Wrong Again…and Again…and Again

Posted on July 30, 2012 by D3 Support

Obama created quite a stir recently when he claimed that personal achievement is not individual. Rather, he insisted, ‘somebody else’ did it for you. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer rightly opposed Obama’s outrageous comments. Unfortunately, he added to the problem with … Continue reading →

Chicken

Posted on July 28, 2012 by D3 Support

I may dislike the attitude of Chick-fil-A, but guess what? I don’t have to buy their products. I detest the policies of the Obama Administration, but guess what? They enjoy the force of law. The Obama Administration expects me to … Continue reading →

Colorado Tragedy: Don’t Ask “Why?”

Posted on July 22, 2012 by D3 Support

Whenever there’s a tragedy like the movie theater shooting in Colorado, reasonable people make the mistake of trying to comprehend the irrational. ‘How could this happen?’ they ask. Or: ‘Why did this happen?’ The premise of the question is wrong. … Continue reading →

Why I Still Miss George Carlin

Posted on July 21, 2012 by D3 Support

I wrote this article back in 2008, soon after comedian George Carlin’s death. Many readers of The Daily Dose of Reason have not seen it. Comedians are sometimes philosophers in disguise, and I still miss George Carlin for this reason. … Continue reading →

America Doesn’t Have to Self-Destruct

Posted on July 19, 2012 by D3 Support

Dick Morris, former advisor to President Bill Clinton, said: ‘We have to realize that the United States Congress cut off aid to Egypt. It ruled that there should be no more aid unless Congress released the funds. And then [Secretary … Continue reading →

Obama’s Recent Comments ARE Marxist and Here’s Why

Posted on July 18, 2012 by D3 Support

If most Americans paid attention to what goes on in their government and society, Obama’s recent comments in Roanoke VA would have generated much more attention than they have. In these comments, Obama essentially said that if you’re successful, then … Continue reading →

When What You Love is Under Attack — Of Course You Hate

Posted on July 17, 2012 by D3 Support

People who disagree with me on opposing Obamacare have in some cases written to me, “You’re full of hatred.” They throw around the word “hatred” as if it’s supposed to intellectually and morally disarm you. It’s not only Obamacare, but … Continue reading →

Tax Increases (or Cuts) Not the Real Issue

Posted on July 15, 2012 by D3 Support

According to the Congressional Budget Office’s figures, extending the Bush tax rates will only increase the deficit by 4 percent. Actually, critics of the way the CBO figures this out are saying the 4 percent number is too high. They … Continue reading →
