Emiliano Antunez's Columns
Fools and Their (Worthless) Money
"So what purpose does the Fed really serve? It not only allows the government to spend money like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse while taxing you to pay the interest on the bill, it also allows the government to devalue your money (and its debt) at its every whim, by giving it the ability to create more money without even having to print it....It also makes it easier for the government to fund and fight wars...."

"Both Christianity and Communism are extremely dogmatic and require a blind adherence to faith. Failure to conform to the scriptures of Christianity or laws of Communism can have very grave consequences." Column by Emiliano Antunez.

Suffering, Suffrage and Serfdom in the 21st Century
"No matter which of these two power hungry thugs I vote for in the upcoming elections, I will still continue to live much like a serf in the Middle Ages (except that I have air-conditioning and a mortgage payment)." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
Emiliano Antunez reviews the new movie "The Lost City."
"Is it sad that a janitor at UM makes $6.70 and hour while the head football coach makes a million dollars annually, as we have heard some of the strikers and their supporters griping? Perhaps to some folks who are not in touch with financial truths, this is a tragedy, but the reality is that they are each being paid the market rate for their jobs." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"So
what is the real problem and how do we fix it? The things that made the
Emiliano Antunez on blatant corruption in Miami.

Miami Vice: The Politician's Pension

Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"When it comes to these so-called gougers, people have a choice: they can choose not to buy the products, which will discourage other folks from spending time and money procuring these items for retail." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding in that Che did not stand for social justice but rather for sociopathic justice." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
Column by Emiliano Antunez.

Like the children in the story of the pied piper, they are easily led by sweet melodies promising something for nothing." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
Revolting Revolutionary Cuisine
"But why would anyone name a restaurant 'Cuban Revolution' with so many other good names to choose from, like 'The Third Reich'? Think of the public relations possibilities: 'come to the Third Reich Lounge and sip Final Solution Martinis in our world renowned VIP room, The Gas Chamber'." Column by Emiliano Antunez.

"The
President claimed to stand ready to defend 'a culture of Life.' Perhaps the
President has had a change of mind since exactly two years ago, he ordered the
invasion of
"Pimpin' the Ho's" Welfare State Style

"Also disturbing is the fact that these 'cuts' in funding are not being made in and of themselves but in order to help fund another big government socialist program initiated by government, war." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"The 'illegal' drug trade is extremely profitable, making it possible for drug dealers and terrorist to live lavishly, bribe corrupt government officials and purchase sophisticated weaponry. History has already taught us that the legal status of the product (prohibition) will not deter its use or consumption, but will attract criminal elements to its trade and distribution." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"Is this the best humanity has to offer? A powerful leviathan than can take your money and/or your life.

Column by Emiliano Antunez.

"If the term 'gouging' could ever be used correctly, it would be to describe taxes paid to the government, where what's paid is for the most part lost in an orgy of legalized corruption, waste and malfeasance, with little if any service rendered to the 'gouged' taxpayer." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"The reason hundreds of thousands of Cuban's have risked their lives to leave the communist gulag is because the very system that Mr. Moore defends robs every individual of his humanity and denies them any possibility of any worthwhile existence." Column by Emiliano Antunez.

"The Masses are revolting--long live the king!" Column by Emiliano Antunez.
"The solution to the current 'crisis' does not lie with more legislation or judicial decisions. The answer lies in the enforcement of the basic concept of separation of church and state." Column by Emiliano Antunez.
