TAX AND SPEND:

John Boehner is the Democrats's favorite tool. That guy has done more heavy lifting to cover up and legitimize their gonzo spending than anybody in history. He's helped Democrats make the case that the tea party is the problem. With friends like him carrying water for the big spending establishment of both parties, who needs enemies?

Twenty two Republicans resisted Boehner's appeasement for Democrats.

POLICE STATE:

Another example of how citizens keep themselves and their fellow citizens safe.

Getting revenge on Anonymous, Paypal gives FBI 1,000 IPs Anonymous used to attack Paypal.

WAR:

Now we get report that Somali women are being systematically raped. This is another step in ginning up support to send US troops into Somalia.

NATO is so ignorant about what's going on in Libya, that Gaddafi forces managed to pose as a rebel faction and infiltrate the rebel movement. I wonder how many air strikes NATO performed on their behalf before this was discovered.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Syrian government uses tanks against protesters.

POLITICS:

I'll be darned. Lew Rockwell has mild criticism for Ron Paul. That's the first I've seen of that.

I've long contended that because politicians make a living by stealing money from others and using violence to force their will on others and because the primary skill of a politician is to lie about that without conscience, that politicians were all freaks, psychopaths and sociopaths. I've long contended that the worst of the worst rise to the top. Now we get this from the Wall Street Journal:

"When times are good and the ship of state only needs to sail straight, mentally healthy people function well as political leaders. But in times of crisis and tumult, those who are mentally abnormal, even ill, become the greatest leaders. We might call this the Inverse Law of Sanity."

Hello? Have you never heard of Mao, Stalin or Hitler? Pol Pot? Castro? Whoever wrote that is insane.

Hard core libertarians often claim that government can't be changed from the inside. It must be abolished by withdrawing consent. That's a pipe dream. Never in the history of the world has a society withdrawn consent from government and replaced that government with a society based on natural law. Like the government is just going to put down its guns and walk away. Advocating that position is just a way to avoid having to engage and do the work to change the system from within. Not only can libertarians gain ground by changing the system from within, it's the only way we have. Ron Paul supporters are proving that in Nevada.

"Since [2008], Paul’s Nevada supporters have been working a new strategy. As Paul readies his 2012 presidential campaign, the outsiders have now become the insiders, working to change the state Republican Party from within its own ranks, rather than battling it from the outside.Again, they’ve been fairly successful."

Imagine that. Dedicated people with truth on their side and passion using their talents and drive to change the system from within. Let's do it everywhere. Of course they haven't been as successful as they would like. Nobody ever is, and the establishment fights back. The establishment will betray them. The establishment will backstab them. And many of them will become the establishment and have to be replaced. But ultimately, this is the path to victory.

The fat cat Republican establishment handed Romney another $12 million for his PAC.

"Restore Our Future, a group run by Romney officials from his 2008 bid, was funded exclusively by 90 wealthy donors, most of which have also given to the former Massachusetts governor’s presidential campaign account."

I can't wait to watch this sleaze-ball lose. His only hope is that, because there are so many candidates, they split the vote. Just like McCain in 2008. Romney hires the guy who wished the Fed could set our money on fire to solve our economic problems.

I bet you guessed that Rick Perry was also funded by millionaires and billionaires. He's also a tenth amendment hypocrite.

Herman Cain dominates Denver straw poll. Wow. He'd become almost invisible.

LOCAL:

Because we've given a few people power over schools, they might choose to teach creationism as if it was equivalent to evolution. In a free society, most people would send their children to schools that gave them a quality education so they could make a lot of money as adults, and those who sent their children to schools that eschewed science would have children who made less money as adults.

MISC:

Apparently people are just figuring out that anything controlled by computer can be controlled by a hacker such as prison cell doors.

This is a great quote:

"The government is good at one thing.  It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See, if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk.'"

Perfect.
