Is anyone closely tracking Sarah Palin’s continued popularity with libertarians? Charles Murray, one of the Beltway’s favorite libertarians (ensconced at the manically pro-war American Enterprise Institute), told the New York Times that he is “truly and deeply in love” with Palin. Joe Bast, the head of the Heartland Institute, said that Palin “was a great […]
My 2 Cents on Palin, Obama, Dumb Voters, & the 2008 Election
Robert Zullo of the Houma Courier (of Houma, Louisiana, in Terrebonne parish, near New Orleans) interviewed me on Thursday on the 2008 election.

Bush’s Forgotten Iraqi Sovereignty Sham
The Future of Freedom Foundation just posted online my article from the July issue of Freedom Daily on Bush’s sovereignty shenanigans on Iraq. It continues to amaze me how easily Bush and team got away with the Empire-State-Building-sized farces regarding Iraq. Unfortunately, “Bush re-subjugated Americans by claiming to have liberated Iraqis.” ***** The Forgotten Iraqi-Sovereignty […]
McCain’s Great Betrayal of Fellow POWs
In last night’s debate, McCain again strutted out the fact of his POW status during the Vietnam war. A servile media has long allowed this to be the primary part of McCain’s halo.
