About Us

Dick Young

Richardcyoung.com is a politically-unaligned, conservative-oriented, educational site, supporting the U.S. Constitution in general and, more specifically, the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments. Please click on my Liberty & Freedom Map on my Home Page for an eclectic and informal look at related issues. I have found the Politically Incorrect Guide to The Constitution by Kevin RC Gutzman, J.D., Ph.D., to be especially informative and useful in understanding the Constitution and its background. Click on my Foundation Principles for a quick look at the principles that guide my views for Richardcyoung.com.

Thomas Jefferson espoused a set of political beliefs that would later be named after him, Jeffersonian Democracy. Jefferson believed that the federal government must not violate the rights of individuals or violate the rights of the states. Jefferson believed national government to be a dangerous necessity to be instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people, nation, and community. Government, Jefferson believed, should be watched closely and be limited in its powers. I believe that the current and former administrations have run far beyond the limited government scope envisioned by Thomas Jefferson and specified in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution. For this reason, I believe that over time, a powerful states’ rights movement will gain traction in the U.S. Neither of the two major parties has earned the respect and trust of conservative, small business owners, Constitutional originalists; 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendment supporters; and certainly not retirees and financially-savaged investors looking to retire over the next four years.

Here are highlights from my Foundation Principles: (A) From former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “Nowhere in the Constitution does it describe government’s business as being able to create jobs.” (B) From The Federalist Society: “It is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.” (C) From former Israeli President Shimon Peres: “Oil is the greatest problem of all time-the great polluter and promoter of terror. We should get rid of it.” (D) From Justice Antonin Scalia: “An individual right to bear arms exists and is supported by ‘the historical narrative’ both before and after the Second Amendment was adopted.” (E) From economist Milton Friedman: “The Great Depression was caused not by capitalism, but by government intervention in the economy.” (F) From Barry Goldwater in The Conscience of a Conservative: “The graduated tax is a confiscatory tax. Its effect, and, to a large extent, its aim is to bring down all men to a common level.” (G) From Patrick J. Buchanan: “Neocons: Basically leftists in disguise.” (H) From the Cato Institute’s website: “We support a true market system for health care that would de-emphasize third-party payments (including insurance and government) and restore the direct doctor-patient relationship.” Finally, the principal author of the Constitution, James Madison, wrote that the powers of the Federal Government were “few and defined.” The Tenth Amendment made clear that any powers not specifically granted to the federal government were reserved to the states and to the people.

At Richardcyoung.com, I outline from time to time why I was opposed to the Iraq war from the start and why I would not have U.S. combat troops on the ground in Afghanistan (I am not referring to limited Special Forces (SF) teams, contractors, and advisors). At Richardcyoung.com’s homepage, you will find links to sites outlining my various investment industry activities. You will also find links to my Lifestyle pages, including Key West Insider and Essential Music. I own a German-made duplicate of the 1948 Wurlitzer Jukebox (plays 45s), and I play records (LPs) on the same Dynaco/AR Music system I bought back in the late 60s. And, yes, Audiophile (180 gram) LPs offer superior sound to brittle, shrill-sounding digital CDs. In closing, it was Chuck Berry, not Elvis, who was the true king of Rock & Roll. I hope you will find Richardcyoung.com to be a provocative, orderly, informative and fun site from which you further your personal interest in our Constitution, national and personal security issues, Rock & Roll and jazz, and America’s Southernmost city and Debbie’s and my home for over well over three decades-Key West.
