I wanted to take a moment to let you folks know what’s going on here at TomKnighton.com. As you may have noticed, posts haven’t been coming in like they used to. Truth be told, I’ve been focusing more of my energy on the new Laws-n-Sausages site (which I urge you to visit). The main...
If you thought the birther nonsense would end with President Obama’s release of his long form birth certificate, think again. Plenty of people are already arguing about the authenticity of the document, while others are now shifting to say that he had dual citizenship and may not be eligible to be president. Personally, I...
The free market. Capitalism. Call it what you will. The truth is that people often don’t understand the difference between capitalism and what we currently have. They mistakenly call our current mixed economy capitalism, and they blame companies that try to stamp out competition as being capitalistic. They’re wrong. Today, many companies spend a...
Even though I’ve already come out in support of Gary Johnson, I have to admit that I’m kind of glad to see Paul make this step forward. There are plenty of arguments in support (or against) either of the pro-liberty candidates we’re looking to have. I have my opinions, and other folks have theirs. ...

Utopia. The so-called perfect world. Everyone dreams of living in Utopia on some level, even though it may mean something different to each person. They all want it, or at least think they do, but why do some folks refuse to work towards such a goal? After all, a perfect world should be desirable...
On Thursday, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson announced his candidacy for President of the United States. Texas Congressman Ron Paul is expected to announce his candidacy at some point in the future. That would put two libertarians campaigning for the limited libertarian vote in the GOP. Some argue that this would be a...
I’ve been kind of defending the rich a bit lately. I admit it to an extent. Some folks have even accused me of butt kissing the rich, which is funny as hell and you’ll see why in a bit. I’ve been defending them, and there’s been good reason. Everywhere I turn, I hear someone...
From a CNN report on a recent speech by the President: “I don’t want to lie to you: there is a big philosophical divide right now,” Obama said, going on to say that he believes “America wants smart government, it wants a lean government, it wants accountable government, but it doesn’t want no government.”...
