I am very happy to see Robert Wenzel today praising, at his always-interesting website Target Liberty, my new book A Tipping Point for Liberty: Exposing and Defeating Leviathan Government. Wenzel says A Tipping Point for Liberty is “a great book to give to anyone you want to introduce to current topics and how it relates to libertarianism.” He also calls me “a great writer and a hardcore libertarian.” I am very grateful for the praise. That same praise certainly applies to Wenzel. Read Wenzel’s complete comments here.
Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who in 2004 and 2008 sought the Democratic presidential nomination, says that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) should consider withdrawing Sanders’ endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton given new revelations of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) unfair treatment of Sanders in the party’s 2016 presidential nomination contest.
As a guest today on the Ron Paul Liberty Report, I discussed my new book A Tipping Point for Liberty: Exposing and Defeating Leviathan Government. You can watch my interview on the show here:
My new book A Tipping Point for Liberty: Exposing and Defeating Leviathan Government has been published. Here is the publication announcement from the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity website:
Ron Paul Institute Senior Fellow Adam Dick’s new book A Tipping Point for Liberty: Exposing and Defeating Leviathan Government was published this week. Dick’s new book frankly explores the battle between overbearing government, both at home and abroad, and individuals’ aspirations for liberty. In A Tipping Point for Liberty, Dick describes in detail the dangers from leviathan government and presents reasons for optimism.
Before joining RPI, Dick worked in the United States House of Representatives office of Rep. Ron Paul for nearly ten years. There, Dick concentrated on matters including the drug war, free speech, and gun rights that are focuses of A Tipping Point for Liberty. Dick’s book, drawn from his hundreds of RPI articles, explores in detail several other aspects of the modern America as well, including militarism, police misconduct, and mass surveillance.
Dick, whose experience includes managing one of the most successful Libertarian Party governor campaigns, also delivers in A Tipping Point for Liberty well-informed insights on libertarianism and Paul’s unique place in the liberty movement.
Paul, in his forward to Dick’s new book, says “A Tipping Point for Liberty expertly applies the freedom philosophy to current events” and “is an important tool for spreading the education needed to ensure we can move onward to a world of liberty, peace, and prosperity.”
Others are praising A Tipping Point for Liberty as well. Jacob G. Hornberger, the president of the Future of Freedom Foundation, writes that he is hopeful that A Tipping Point for Liberty “will open more people’s eyes as to what is happening to our country and to what we need to do to get our nation back on the right track.” Robert Wenzel of the popular websites Economic Policy Journal and Target Liberty also offers early praise for Dick’s new book. Wenzel writes:
Buy this book if you need to learn how government fails us. Buy this book if you want to learn how to defend liberty. Dick is a brilliant wordsmith for liberty. His prose hits like fireworks on every page. You won’t be able to stop turning the pages. I couldn’t.
A Tipping Point for Liberty is available at Amazon.com here.

It was a rowdy scene at the Democratic National Convention this morning when Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) addressed her home state of Florida’s delegation to the convention. Wasserman Schultz over the weekend announced her resignation as chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after DNC emails made public by Wikileaks confirmed what many people had already suspected — high level leadership in the Democratic Party sought to help Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) win the Democratic nomination in her close contest against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
If Wasserman Schultz thought she would find forgiveness and a warm welcome from her home state delegation, that hope was quickly dashed when, along with applause, loud boos and jeers greeted her.

Ron Paul, who regularly challenged Federal Reserve Board chairmen as a member of the US House of Representatives’ Financial Services Committee, continues to describe the problems the Federal Reserve causes. In his Monday column “Don’t Reform the Fed, Fed-Exit!” Paul writes that Federal Reserve-promoted inflation is a tax on average Americans, with “crony capitalists and big-spending politicians” the beneficiaries. But that is only part of the story. Paul contended, in an interview last week on the Turning Hard Times into Good Times radio show, that the central bank encourages war. In answer to a question from host Jay Taylor, Paul declares, “All wars, I believe, are financed, one way or the other, by inflation, the destruction of currency.”

Speaking this week with host Jamie Allman on 97.1 FM radio in St. Louis, Missouri, former New Jersey state Judge Andrew Napolitano said it would be “reprehensible” to label Black Lives Matter a terrorist group. Some people have suggested such action in the wake of the killing of five cops in Dallas, Texas that overlapped with a Thursday nonviolent protest related to police brutality.
