You see what bastards they are?: "When the Democrats ran the House, they tended to be polite and generous to Ron Paul. Even the moderate Republicans were decent. But the neocons, from Gingrich to Boehner-Cantor, have been monsters. They even tried to prevent him from getting time to deliver his magnificent Farewell to Congress. Thank goodness that staffers, who love Ron as the people do, arranged for him to get his time without the leaders finding out. It's a model of the Peaceful Libertarian...

Some things you need to know about the attack on Gaza
First of all, Israel started it. It's not defense at all, but selfish electoral politics and grand theft. Says John Mearshiemer: "So what is going on here? At the most basic level, Israel’s actions in Gaza are inextricably bound up with its efforts to create a Greater Israel that stretches from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the endless palaver about a two-state solution, the Palestinians are not going to get their own state, not least because the Netanyahu government is...

Anthony Gregory on Rothbard on Left and Right
"Nothing is deadlier than the pursuit of liberal ends through conservative means." A couple of weeks ago I interviewed Anthony Gregory from the Independent Institute and the Future of Freedom Foundation about Rothbard's great essay Left and Right: The Prospects for Liberty. Well now he's written a new essay developing his arguments further for the C4SS: "The Carnage in the Middle of the Road.": Within the United States, it was not so much communism, but progressivism, that wedged itself...

Ron Paul’s Farewell Address
Farewell to Congress This may well be the last time I speak on the House Floor. At the end of the year I’ll leave Congress after 23 years in office over a 36 year period. My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today: promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to the principles of individual liberty. It was my opinion, that the course the U.S. embarked on in the latter part of the 20th Century would bring us a major financial crisis and engulf us in a foreign policy that...
