Hegemony or Freedom
At a glance the libertarian world view presents a simple paradox, if every one is free to do as they please, how does one ensure that libertarian society exists. The simple truth however is that for economic freedom to exist there must first be complete and total political freedom.

This stand in direct opposition to the hegemonic impulses and ideals of the current system,...
Dorgan on Colbert
M writes: "I'm probably more suspicious of the free market than you are, but I share all of your anti-war views. "Did you see Byron Dorgan on Colbert the other night? Worth a look." Me: Actually, it's not that I think markets are perfect or anything (people are a mixed bag after all), it's just that I think they are much harder on the biggest criminal corporations than government will ever be.

A couple things
Okay, so ever since I posted my interview of Ron Paul on my site where I keep em all (including the ones too far off topic for Antiwar.com like this one), I've lost a bunch of subscribers to the podcast feed. Antiwar lefties who hate economics? Ron Paulians who can't stand hearing someone ask him a good question? What gives? Gardner Goldsmith interviews me. That fascist Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a fascist. Greg Palast on the looting of GM's pension fund by JP Morgan-Chase. Chris Hedges...

The Pro-Israeli Media Twist
Jonathan Broder is a CQ Weekly journalist who was on CSPAN yesterday along with Washington Times journalist Eli Lake discussing Obama's defense and foriegn policy objectives. A lady calls in complaining of the cost of defense, and asks if our objectives could be more easily met if Israel could be made to work out a peaceful solution for the Palestinians. Taking the question, Broder puts the burden on the Arabs for refusing to 'make peace with Israel'. The frustration is not just the reality...
