I do not know why I have not thought to mention this, but Isaac Morehouse and I will be giving lectures at the Students for Liberty Dallas Conference this Saturday (11/12/11). You can also meet Texas State Representative David Simpson, who was the only Rep. in the Texas legislature with guts enough to stand up against the TSA. You may remember that David and I spearheaded the legislation to stop egregious TSA searches in Texas during this past year.
Students for Liberty is a great organization, and I am very proud to be a part of their mission to teach the next generation of university students about liberty. Now, my understanding is that you CAN still attend, but try to contact the organizers if you can via their website. I also understand that it is FREE to attend, and I bet that if you just wanted to come and say hello that would be fine too. It will be hosted at the University of North Texas, which is on the north side of Dallas in Denton.
Isaac is actually listed as a speaker on the web-published program, but I’m not. This is simply because Isaac is so much cooler than I am. Yeah, he is.
I’m really looking forward to this conference. I truly believe in social change as the primary means of spreading liberty, and that the way this is done is by affecting the next generation of minds through education. Texas has been my battleground for years now, and many of these students are there today because of what we started at the University of Texas at Austin just a few years ago. This is just one more step for the cause of liberty…

It’s Q&A week at LCC
Posted by: |
I am significantly behind on just about everything these days, and one result is that I have a backlog of questions in the Christian Libertarian FAQ page. I then said to myself, “Self, why not turn updating the FAQ into an entire week of interesting posts, and encourage people to submit even MORE questions!”
So this week is going to be in part dedicated to fixing up and expanding the FAQ. Each day I’ll post one of the lingering questions asked recently and the best answer I can come up with.
Moreover, if you have a question on your mind, please feel free to submit it here. I look forward to your queries!

Common Sense Concept
Posted by: |For those interested in reading more about the nexus of faith and free-enterprise, a new project has been launched by the American Enterprise Institute called the Common Sense Concept. It’s homepage has the following description:
“Common Sense Concept exists at the center of a new conversation about how things should be. Many years of poverty and stories of redemption have shown what works and what doesn’t. A generation that understands these truths will, finally, transform society. Be a part of it.”
The target market is evangelical college students and young adults. I don’t know exactly how effective it will be, nor do I support every policy position take by AEI. But when they asked me to contribute to their blog, I agreed. Here’s my inaugural post. I’ll be posting responses to articles probably once or twice a month. Hopefully this will continue to advance deeper thinking about political philosophy among Christians. I encourage LCC readers to check it out and lend your always insightful comments!
