Clips of Bill O’Reilly in melt down.

From his website:

The Ron Paul r3VOLution has been the largest confirmation of libertarian principles and decentralized effort on a national scale than any other that I know about. The r3VOLution is libertarian at its core (started by libertarians, supported by libertarians, promoting libertarian principles) and all the while the LPUS and its candidates have been floundering back and forth in a debate about the endorsement/support/drafting of a Republican (the Ron Paul part) and ignoring the whole meaning behind the r3VOLution. The Libertarian Party should have been the first to embrace this libertarian movement like many of the best libertarian activists from all over the country did. The r3VOLution isn’t represented by any one candidate. And we are going to find out how many candidates will make use of “LOVE” in this revolution to represent their campaign efforts.

For the LPUS to ignore such a large political movement based on libertarianism and allow a Republican candidate for President sole dominion over a movement so libertarian is very shortsighted and dumbfounding to many.

While the LPUS has been,… doing whatever it has been doing, thousands of libertarian activists across the country, and the world, have been very busy creating this opportunity. I seek the Chairmanship of the Libertarian National Party to make certain that the opportunity to rescue millions of minds is not squandered.

One of the Kostards ignorantly claims:

Yet 23 Senate Democrats voted against the war ( HT to GN1927 for correction.See comment below for complete list.) And a majority of House Democrats. Also a Republican, Lincoln Chaffee. We must admire these honorable men and women who stood up when the nation needed them.

It is no secret that Ron Paul voted against the war. The Kostards know this, but are afraid to acknowledge it.

KSDK reports:

An Alton man died Tuesday night after a St. Charles County Sheriff’s deputy used a Taser on him.

[...]

The deputy used his Taser on Wilson, who then lost consciousness.

Deputies preformed CPR and paramedics took Wilson to the hospital, but they were unable to revive him.

If you read the article they only give the police version of the events, as usual, and never present the other side’s story. Very poor reporting.

Aaron Glantz reports:

Eighteen American war veterans kill themselves every day. One thousand former soldiers receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs attempt suicide every month. More veterans are committing suicide than are dying in combat overseas.

These are statistics that most Americans don’t know, because the Bush administration has refused to tell them. Since the start of the Iraq War, the government has tried to present it as a war without casualties.

That is over 6,000 per year.

Atash Hagmahani quotes:

The majority never has right on its side. Never, I say! That is one of these social lies against which an independent, intelligent man must wage war. Who is it that constitute the majority of the population in a country? Is it the clever folk, or the stupid? I don’t imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over. But, good Lord!–you can never pretend that it is right that the stupid folk should govern the clever ones I (Uproar and cries.) Oh, yes–you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side–unfortunately; but right it has not. I am in the right–I and a few other scattered individuals. The minority is always in the right. (Renewed uproar.)

Sheldon Richman writes:

I can predict the winner of the presidential election even now: the government. In a one-party system, that’s how things work. One-party system? Yes. The American political scene makes much more sense if you think of the two parties as two divisions of the same party.

Admittedly that is hard to do at first. All American politics is presented as a tooth-and-claw rivalry between Republicans and Democrats. It is certainly true that elections determine who holds office among the parties’ candidates, and who holds office determines whose cronies get sinecures and contracts. That does give the appearance of real competition.

Moreover, the major news media are willing participants in the charade that Republicans and Democrats have substantially different ideas about things. Generally, we are asked to believe that Republicans want less government and more war, while the Democrats want more government and less war.

As you may have noticed, that makes no sense. War and government go hand in hand, and both parties want more government. Each side tends to dislike only the wars started by the other side.

I refer to them as Republicrats. Maybe they should be called the War Party.

Mikhail Gorbachev says:

“The United States cannot tolerate anyone acting independently.

“Every US president has to have a war.”

Anyone care to disagree?

Via the Wall Street Journal:

Last month, New York law enforcement authorities announced the arrest of Queens resident Rafea al-Nablisi for smuggling 12,000 cartons of cigarettes a week. It was not the first such arrest, and thanks to New York’s latest cigarette tax hike, it will not be the last.

That’s one way to keep the prisons full of cheap slave labor. Hitler would be proud.
