Who Owns Free Speech?
Ignore the distractions of specific instances, and ask yourself this question based completely on principle–who in the world should be entitled to speak freely? To me, freedom of speech and expression is a God-given (natural) right of all people. Whether or not a government chooses to recognize and respect this right is a completely different [...]
Ahmadinejad’s Response to Columbia University
He said Bollinger’s comments included “insults” and false claims, and flew in the face of an environment that’s supposed to let people speak their minds. This was Ahmadinejad’s response to the introduction given by Columbia University’s President, Lee Bollinger, where he also called Ahmadinejad a “petty, cruel dictator”. Ahmadinejad is dead wrong, and his response [...]
Ron Paul at the Value Voters Debate
“You don’t dictate, you don’t legislate, virtue.” “What are we gonna do when government fails in Washington, go to the U.N.?” Watch the whole thing… [youtube WRi8tswSkB4]
Authenticity and Blogging Freedom
Steve Pavlina has a cool article on one reason blogging is more liberating than writing for a newspaper or magazine. It basically comes down to having the freedom to be authentic. Authenticity means being real and genuine when you communicate. Let truth be your guiding principle. This is the natural style of communication we might [...]
Post New Hampshire Debate Thoughts
At this point, I’m happy for Ron Paul to stay in the race for no other reason than how much it annoys Sean Hannity that he always win the post debate polls. The only way Hannity could possibly be more of a nuisance would be if he changed his last name to Clinton. I’ll have [...]
Ron Paul Gets a Freebie From a Former Stripper
Strippers for Ron Paul. Michelle does a great job of explaining why anyone who cares about freedom (not only theirs, but other people’s as well) should have their interest peaked by the Paul campaign. All seriousness aside, it would have been interesting to hear her opinion on the idea of eliminating the Federal Reserve and [...]
Democrat Has Some Great Advice For Republicans
Sharon Cobb offers some free advice that should be obvious to any thinking person, but obviously isn’t obvious to the GOP. Y’all have got to get back to being Barry Goldwater Republicans and stay out of personal lives of consenting adults instead of trying to make what consenting adults do a political issue for you. [...]
10,000 Reasons Not To Have More Money
I came upon this story by way of Reason. I’m no fan of the ACLU, mostly because they are very selective about which civil liberties they choose to defend, but I have to be cheering for them in this case, where a truck driver was forced to turn over $23,700 for no other reason than [...]
It All Depends On How You Ask
Justin Gardner asks the question: In a time where we need unity, do you think Paul’s “Dr. No” way of politics will actually bring the country together? There are some great responses to this question, and most actually address the first part–do we need unity necessarily? I think it would be great to have more [...]
Congrats to the LP
Liberty Papers that is, on getting their 500,000th visitor on Sunday. Those guys churn out a lot of great content, and as Doug posted, We’re not here to promote any agenda other than the agenda of freedom, and open debate is always welcome. One of the many post ideas I have trying to bounce its [...]
