Jacob Hornberger: Revisiting Freedom in Iraq How often have we heard proponents of the unlawful war of aggression against Iraq say that the real purpose of their invasion (after U.S. troops and the CIA failed to find those infamous and scary WMDs that were about to fired at the United States) was to bring freedom [...]
On his blog, Frostburg University economist William Anderson has been following the trial of a teacher accused of molesting children in Ringgold, Georgia. This Nifong-like case sounds like a witch hunt, and it looks like, after all is said and done, it won’t be said and done because the judge will probably be impeached and [...]

Economist Walter Williams has this column in which, while he’s not suggesting taking the right to vote away from non-taxpayers, he is suggesting that tax-payers have one vote plus another vote for each $20,000 one pays in federal taxes. That is mainly to do with participating in the decision-making process how federal money is spent. [...]
There was some reaction to my piece on Israel at LewRockwell.com yesterday, although not as much as I thought there would be. A couple emailers referred to my references to “Jewish State,” and “Jewish Homeland.” I responded to one of them by stating that I wasn’t sure whether the posterity of the “general population” of [...]
James Bovard on Bill Clinton’s Lethal Hypocrisy on Government Violence ….Clinton declared that “we do not have the right to resort to violence — or the threat of violence — when we don’t get our way.” Unless you’re the government… …During Clinton’s reign, the IRS seized over 12 million bank accounts, put liens on over [...]
