Francois Tremblay: Agorism, not political action
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Francois Tremblay wrote an excellent open letter to all Libertarians, and that's with a capital L, meaning the ones who think of themselves as members of the Libertarian Party and act mainly to promote LP candidates. Typically capital-L Libertarians are minarchists who believe in the Constitution or some such. This ...
Ron Paul and Obama on USSR, Iran
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Hey, Will Bunch: since you are probably still concerned with the reasons intelligent, informed Americans hold stupid, State-loving journalists like yourself in such low esteem, here is yet another example for you: Who said the following: Here’s the truth: the Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn’t have a ...
Libertarian Party nomination
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Link-and-run time: I agree with pretty much every word of this post by Roderick Long, who, despite his agorist commitments, endorses anarcho-capitalist Mary Ruwart for the LP nomination.
Young Americans aren’t angry enough about foreign policy
Thursday, May 1st, 2008A high school student named Peter Fulham published an opinion column in USA Today complaining that young Americans are not demonstrably angry enough about the war in Iraq and the aggressive American foreign policy. Young people are tired of hearing about Iraq, and they gave up getting angry about its ...
Stefan Molyneux on the Ron Paul revolution
Monday, February 11th, 2008Stefan Molyneux wrote a good essay about the nature of the Ron Paul revolution and why it failed to ever get off the ground.
Honesty and evil
Monday, February 11th, 2008Some recent exchanges with my roommate prompted this post. I have given up writing very critical things about my close friends without their knowledge, so I am not here to secretly lambaste her. Luckily, I don't even think anything very critical of her, so I abstain from criticizing her out ...
One man’s despair is another man’s hope
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008John Derbyshire is great. I'm glad the staff of National Review hasn't figured this out and fired him yet. In what I think was his official endorsement of Ron Paul, he quoted Paul Johnson from his book Modern Times: "Like FDR, he [i.e. John F. Kennedy] turned Washington into a ...
Internet geeks aren’t largely libertarian
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008The Ron Paul fan club made a big deal about his extensive support on the internet, as evidenced by the success and popularity of Ron Paul forums, his success in so many online polls from news outlets (Fox, MSNBC, CNN, etc.) after debates, his online donations that totaled a lot ...
Open letter to Boortz listeners
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008I was very interested to see this open letter to fascist neocon warmonger and all-around State lover Neal Boortz and his radio show listeners. I hope certain residents of Georgia who are co-proprietors of this site can listen to Boortz on Thursday or Friday and see if he mentions this ...
Evil and stupid
Thursday, January 24th, 2008That's how Laurence Vance describes mainstream Protestantism in general. As understanding, tolerant, and diplomatic as I try to be in public, I'd have to agree. Like Wes Baker, I too am sickened and embarrassed at Christian opposition to Ron Paul. The Protestant church is not only no friend of freedom, it ...
Overlapping fan bases
Monday, January 21st, 2008When I was at the aforementioned midnight showing of Serenity, I couldn't help but think, somewhat smugly but most likely correctly, that there has never been a political cause and a movie or TV show that had fan bases that overlapped as extensively as those of Ron Paul and Firefly. ...
Donna D’Errico: freedom lover
Sunday, January 20th, 2008More fantastic wisdom from actress and model Donna D'Erico: Her plea for every freedom-loving American to donate money to Ron Paul's campaign on November 5, 2007. Man, I think she knows some of the issues better than some of the candidates.
Fox News: Omitting Ron Paul again
Saturday, January 19th, 2008From the Ron Paul campaign's blag: I wonder if fascist neocon warmonger and all-around State lover Neal Boortz will mention this on his show on Monday. Thanks to Lew Rockwell.
Vindication
Saturday, January 19th, 2008If Donna D'Errico endorses Ron Paul, who can claim that Paulians were on the wrong side of history? Unexpectedly insightful from a TV star who's supposed to be all looks and no brains. Lousy male pigs and their chauvinistic stereotypes.
Ron Paul speech on medicine and government
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Ron Paul gave a fantastic speech at the 15th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies, available on the homepage of worldhealth.net, about the harmfulness of government interference (coercion) in our medical care and the benefits individual freedom and choice would bring.
Me and Captain Mal
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008With conservative-libertarian Ron Paul's presidential bid failing to ever grow very strong, and his winning only ten percent or fewer of the votes in the first four states, and having people on the internet, on the radio, and in my imagination saying they were right not to support someone who ...
Fox News edits out Ron Paul from article
Sunday, January 13th, 2008Fascist neocon warmonger and all-around State-lover Neal Boortz used to issue a challenge to his listeners, that if they could ever cite one instance of Fox News slanting or biasing their coverage of the news—not their TV show hosts taking sides or expressing opinions, because that's what they're there for—but ...
Democrats won’t vote for Paul
Sunday, January 13th, 2008I think it's really a shame there is such a close and heated Democratic-nominee race, because this leads most Democrats to take a side for either Hillary or Obama, to influence the future of their party, for obvious reasons. Which means they can't vote against the idiotic neocons running for ...
Ron Paul favored among young businessmen
Sunday, January 13th, 2008Writes Lew Rockwell: An organization representing young entprepreneurs and business professionals in Arizona held a straw poll. Ron wins with 80%. AZ Sen. McCain comes in second with 12%. Why John got so many is another question.
Vox Day on the Ron Paul confusion
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Vox Day is quickly becoming my favorite blagger. It's a shame that I stopped reading him at World Net Daily and that I didn't know he had a blag until recently. In his comments on a confused blag post by one Joe Carter of evangelicaloutpost.com, he excellently sums up why Ron ...
Ron Paul in Christian Science Monitor
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008I don't think there's anything new in this article, but I found it a very interesting and enjoyable read. The Christian Science Monitor gives Ron Paul a fair and detailed treatment. Thanks to Lew Rockwell.
Vox Day on Ron Paul and the Bhutto assassination
Friday, December 28th, 2007Insightful, incisive, and correct, as usual. Money quote: "I'm increasingly coming to believe that Democrats are stupid, and Republicans are insane. Both conditions result in the advocacy of that which will inevitably lead to evil. In fact, that will be my explanation the next time someone asks me why I ...
Ron Paul on WRIF
Monday, December 24th, 2007I'm honestly a little surprised at the paucity of presidential candidates' commercials I've seen on television, but that could be because I don't watch much TV and not the stations that run the majority of the commercials (basic network TV and the 24-hour news/politics channels). I do watch Tucker Carlson ...
Ron Paul on Meet the Press
Monday, December 24th, 2007Lew Rockwell wrote a pretty good summary of Tim Russert's interview with Ron Paul yesterday. My verdict on the interview was that Dr. Paul did pretty well, and the content of what he said was about as good as it could have been, but he seemed a little...defensive, unsure, unsmooth. ...
Objectivists against Ron Paul
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007Stephan Kinsella has an excellent refutation of the Objectivist disapproval of Ron Paul as candidate for president—and, indeed, his entire philosophy in general. Kinsella says, It is clear that the primary objection of Objectivists to Paul is his foreign policy views and non-interventionism. The other criticisms do not seem to ...
