Welcome to the Freedom Conspiracy
Freedom Conspiracy stands for the principle that pure Laissez-Faire Capitalism will protect individual rights better than sovereign governments. Most advocates of Free Market economics prefer to ask statist enemies of individual rights to protect those rights or depend upon written Constitutions that have been ignored for almost a century. Funny that. But not here. So, pull up a couple of pixels and join in. The best way to follow Freedom Conspiracy is to fill in the subscription box in the sidebar. You will be notified any time I add a new post. That way you don't have to keep checking back to see if there is anything new.

They wanted to price Africans out of the job market so they couldn’t take work at lower wages than those paid to white Democrats and their buddies in the Ku Klux Klan.
