A.B. Stoddard Has Made a Mistake Regarding Ron Paul

I assume it was unintentional error, but The Hill's Ms. Stoddard seems to have gotten it wrong on the question of Rep. Ron Paul M.D.'s attitude toward campaigning. Toward the end of this segment, where she, David Schuster and that other guy attempt to ridicule Paul's position on the war over southern secession, Stoddard claims that Paul has admitted that he is "lazy," a criticism which has cost Fred Thompson dearly. But Ron Paul lazy? He's always seemed like an over-acheiver type to me... With...

New York Times’ Virginia Heffernan Retracts Ron Paul Smear

...A half-assed retraction and a few and a half days too late if you ask me. I wonder if the 250+ comments ridiculing Virginia and her editors for their repeated failures had anything to do with it. If anyone actually wants to debate Ron Paul's principles and political positions, we Paulians are eagerly awaiting your challenge. It must really be tough to be opposed to someone who's right about 95% of what he says and who has such a decent personal character. What will you come up with next?...

My Favorite Comment on the NYT’s Latest Ron Paul Smear

Is here: I read about comments that Ron Paul is a racist and I want to take a moment and put these rumors and lies to rest. I have had the opportunity to meet Dr. Paul over thirty years ago during the first of three pregnancies. I did not have much money and at the time, I heard through my church that Dr. Paul was a very reasonable man and will work with me on payment. Since then, Dr. Paul has delivered three of my babies and they are all healthy young adults with two of them married. I even...

George W. Bush’s Torture Porn

The President made a special request to watch the now-missing tapes of the torture of the already-severely-mentally-ill-at-the-time Abu Zubaydah. You remember Abu Zubaydah right?

Arguing the War

Two weeks ago, Antiwar.com received a letter from a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps wondering what motivated our behavior. One of my jobs for Antiwar.com is handling jobs like these, and since he asked like a gentleman, I've done my best to represent the site and the case against the war.

What Does Freedom Really Mean?

by Rep. Ron Paul M.D. ‘[M]an is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.’ -Ronald Reagan We’ve all heard the words democracy and freedom used countless times, especially in the context of our invasion of Iraq. They are used interchangeably in modern political discourse, yet their true meanings are very different. George Orwell wrote about ‘meaningless words’ that...

George Washington: No Torture on My Watch

‘Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause’¦ for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.’ - George Washington, charge to the Northern Expeditionary Force, Sept. 14, 1775...
