In Internationalizing American insanity, libertarian author Wendy McElroy notes the most disturbing aspect of the modern humiliating and invasive Police State airport experiences: …The most disturbing aspect is the people who line up…shoeless, speechless, obedient sheep, papers-at-the-ready, anxiously answering intrusive questions, with their hands on the shoulders of children whom they gently push toward the [...]

I felt assured when I spoke to the vice consul [...]
I have heard some Libertarian Party candidates this election season making their proposals, and some of them are quite consistent in calling for restoring the economic and personal freedom that Americans had in the first 50-100 years of the country, much of that freedom which has been taken away by the loathsome parasite politicians who [...]
Mondoweiss.net journalist Philip Weiss interviews and tours with a Palestinian farmer during Weiss’s stay in Israel, and, noting the farmer’s ordeal with expansionist settlers, asks if Anthony Weiner and Barney Frank have any opinion on this situation. (They supposedly are “liberals,” you know.) Weiss includes some videos of their discussions while touring the farmer’s lands [...]

One big reason is all the blowback against America that decades of the U.S. government’s intrusions abroad have been causing. If nothing else, an analysis of America’s [...]
Glenn Greenwald: The Obama Administration’s War on Privacy …Anyone who thinks that is hyperbole should simply read two articles today describing efforts of the Obama administration to obliterate remaining vestiges of privacy. The first is this New York Times article by Charlie Savage, which describes how the Obama administration will propose new legislation to mandate that the U.S. Government have access [...]

Well, here I am once again here in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts where the “anti-government” Tea Party movement barely exists, and those who think they’re “conservative” and believe in “free market capitalism” are way out there in the galaxy of make-believe fantasizing. I listen to these local talk radio hosts, such as Michael Graham [...]
No, I don’t mean “Christian” as a noun as to say “a Christian,” or that I practice the religious faith of Christianity, nor that I’m a member of Jews For Jesus, but “Christian” in the adjective sense as to describe someone who believes in moral values and the philosophy of Jesus Christ, mainly of being [...]

Justin Raimondo has an article about GOP senate hopeful Rand Paul (son of Ron Paul). Regardless of whether or not the younger Dr. Paul has in the past opposed the Iraq war and has said, correctly, that 9/11 was “blowback for our foreign policy,” when I read that Rand Paul has had meetings with warmongering [...]
