Reclaiming the American Right

by | Feb 27, 2008 |

For the Albert J. Nock types! Reclaiming the American Right: The Lost Legacy of the Conservative Movement, Justin Raimondo's excellent story of the origins of the American Old Right opposition to Great Dictator Roosevelt's New Deal and dastardly plot to get the U.S. into WWII, its marginalization at the hands of the vile William F. Buckley Jr. and the return of Old Right libertarianism in our time is being reissued by ISI Books. It tells the stories of all the leaders of the Old Right and of...

Rep. Ron Paul M.D. Speech at the University of Texas

by | Feb 23, 2008 |

The Speech on YouTube: One, two, three, four, five. Notes on Ron Paul's great speech at UT today: Thanks again Dr. Paul for doing this. (And for autographing my Antiwar.com sign!) The cops said they estimated 4,000 people were there. It was a awesome crowd. When I showed up the sun was shining and Jimmie Vaughan was playing "Floodin' Down in Texas." Of course in Paul's speech, the lines on the war, for example, "Just come home," got the most applause. Besides that, Dr. Paul explained a vision...

Go Ron, Go!

Dr. Paul is still running for president and the message of individual liberty, free markets and peace that he's delivering is still ringing bells across the land. We love you Ron. Keep giving 'em hell!

Dr. Ron Paul on Anti-Trust Laws – 1983

by | Feb 18, 2008 |

I forget what it was I read that fixed me from my naive belief in anti-trust laws back in the 1990s, but Ron Paul is right, executive regulation protects those the market would rightfully depose rather than the other way around. (The other guest is Dom Armentano.) Thanks to Lew.

Dig Deep! Ron Paul Needs Your Help!

by | Feb 18, 2008 |

February 18, 2008 The DC neocons think their old dream is about to come true. They think they can defeat me in the Republican congressional primary in Texas on March 4th. And you know what? They may be right. My opponent, who describes himself as a traditional conservative, is a dedicated servitor of all the special interests who have given us the disaster of recent years, from unconstitutional wars to a looming recession, from huge deficits to massive new welfare programs. A Republican...

The Paul Campaign is Over

by | Feb 9, 2008 |

It's been a hell of a great Ron Paul Revolution. Thanks so much Dr. Paul for all of your efforts. It's great to know you'll still be taking 'em on in the Congress. Paul's statement: February 8, 2008 Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not...

Three More Great Additions to Ron Paul’s Campaign

by | Feb 7, 2008 |

Robert A. Pape, Leon Hadar and Ivan Eland will be joining Philip Giraldi, Doug Bandow and Charles Peña on Ron Paul's foreign policy team (Bandow is also a broader policy advisor). This is great. At first I thought "Damn, I wish ya'll had done this months ago!" but then I thought "This is perfect timing for a race that's just beginning."

Anarcho-Leftist Election Analysis

by | Feb 7, 2008 |

A friend writes: Romney dropping out shifts the situation rather drastically. It certainly gives the clearest lead to McCain, Huckabee won't be far behind Romney and this leaves Ron Paul spinning in the wind where he neither gets to debate McCain, because McCain will simply deny him as negative unimportant, and losing less and less of the media attention. This makes me believe that if Dr. No runs on a Libertarian ticket, he'll thus be in a different and more visible playing field--media all...

Keep Running, Ron

by | Feb 7, 2008 |

Here, Eric Garris and I lay out our argument for Ron Paul to ditch the GOP and his campaign's conservative triangulation strategy, seek the Libertarian nomination, and keep on running.
