Shepherd Smith mocks Glenn Beck’s cult of personality.

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.

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

In this video, Sean Penn talks a bit too warmly of Hugo Chavez, a militant socialist who has been in power for ten years. His country was rated as “somewhat free” this year by the respected liberty watchdog Freedom House. He is very close with Fidel Castro because Castro’s ideology of strongman sociallism matches his. For any who doubt that Chavez is simply a 21st century representation of communist militarism, I recommend watching the recent PBS special about him.

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