Since Bob wasn’t invited to the town hall debate on Tuesday evening, he decided to get his two cents in via Youtube.

Reason magazine presents a stellar parody of what mainstream politicos really think of the US Constitution.

Ron Paul speaks on Fox Business about a Rasmussen poll that shows him head to head with President Barack Obama.

Damon Weaver reminds me so much of myself. I would collect newspapers and magazines and write little newspapers of my own when I was his age. I hope he goes on to forge a career in journalism.

I was forwarded this video by a friend of mine who is left of center. At first, I thought it was a scientology video given the crticism of psychiatry but soon saw that it was a disorganized criticism of American economic and foreign policy.

It’s too bad that Milton Friedman, who is unfairly portrayed here as the Devil himself, is not present to defend himself against slandarous attacks. Friedman was not against government and social programs altogether but favored programs (such as vouchers) that would help raise the poor out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. He favored marijuana decriminalization and was a self-described “liberal.” He was not solely responsible for nor the mastermind of Reagan, Clinton or either Bush’s policies, for better or worse.

Despite the outspoken opposition to the cruel practices of the Taliban that came from all corners after 9/11, Western liberals have been quite mum on the ultra-misogynist practices of third world religious zealots. The story of this UK woman, Dr. Humayra Abedin, trapped by her parents into a marriage she didn’t want, is not a rare story. It’s the same situation that the author and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali moved halfway across the world, from her native Somalia to the Netherlands, to escape.
