The Revolution: A Manifesto by Rep. Ron Paul M.D.
Read this book! I've just finished Ron Paul's The Revolution: A Manifesto, and am once again floored by Dr. Paul's ability to identify the most important issues facing this country and explain their libertarian solutions in "honest, direct language," as George Carlin would say. In seven concise chapters, heavy with notable quotes from the founders, American historical figures, social researchers and Austrian economists, Dr. Paul destroys the myths of governmental benevolence and benefit on...
We are winning the Global War for Terrorism
In Hebron, citizens of some foreign country that is not and has never been part of America spend your hard-earned tax dollars committing acts of terrorism against the helpless civilians they occupy. Using a 10-year-old child to locate and punish a 15-year-old stone-thrower: "So we got hold of just some Palestinian kid nearby, we knew that he knew who it had been. Let's say we beat him a little, to put it mildly, until he told us. You know, the way it goes when your mind's already screwed up,...

Cheney Debunked Again (a year ago)
Dick Cheney is a liar. A lousy one. He is again threatening that "al Qaeda in Iraq" (which he would have you believe is interchangeable with the "al Qaeda in Waziristan" he let escape in 2001) will take over the fertile crescent if U.S. forces withdraw. In this version, they will make so much money from control over the oil that they will somehow be a threat to us or something... Well, last summer when Rudy Giuliani tried to pretend that al Qaeda was motivated to attack the United States due...

Liberty Stickers: a “Hint”
From a report about the LP presidential race in the American Spectator: BURLINGTON, N.C. -- No casual visitor to the La Quinta Inn on Maple Avenue would have suspected that anything politically significant was happening inside Saturday. Only the bumper stickers on the cars in the parking lot hinted that the hotel was hosting the state convention of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina (LPNC). "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for yourself," declared a sticker on...

Bush: I Lie to the Soldiers to Make Them Feel Good
ABC: Bush conceded earlier that before the surge began last year, he was pessimistic about the way the war in Iraq was going. "How worried were you?" Raddatz asked. "I was worried. Look, I'm worried any time it looks like we're going to fail in Iraq," Bush said. During that time in 2006, when many were saying Iraq was in a full-blown civil war, Bush kept his rhetoric upbeat, saying in speeches that We're winning" and "We have a plan for victory." Raddatz asked the president about that, and the...
Thanks
I really like having you guys around. Judging by the email, the audience is growing all over the world, and to all the people who've written to say nice things I really appreciate it. (And for those who I can't get around to answering, sorry. I do read them all.) Angela is in charge of somehow turning this thing into something a bit bigger, and since she's the shit, I figure I better take time out to give up some gratitude to those of you who've been encouraging me up to now before it's too...
