The following article was written back in 2006, by former neoconservative, Francis Fukuyama, a rather significant contributor to the rise of the neoconservatism of late. It is a fairly lengthy piece (6 pages), and examines the practical consequences for the United States of hewing to, and...

For those that seem to be unaware of (or perhaps just unwilling to acknowledge) the difference: Article continues at: Libertarian Does Not Equal Libertine

Oh yes indeed .... for some, freedom (particularly when it involves others) is absolutely a very menacing proposition indeed ..... They just absolutely know that Bill or Bob or Sue ..... over there .... can't be trusted ..... and would somehow be a threat to themselves, or others. Thus comes...

Well, unless I'm misunderstanding the nature of your question: There were huge demonstrations in Alexandria and a number of other cities in Egypt. Try Al Jazeera English if you want coverage of a lot of Middle East events that you will absolutely never get via the US MSM: Al Jazeera English...

You too ? :o

Indeed .... :D

Yeah ..... more evidence of lawyers, judges, and government officials losing all their marbles. "At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were...

Here's a perhaps a couple of relevant questions: Was the officer's patrol car equipped with a dashcam ? If it was, why wasn't it turn on, to record what actually occured ? In any event, why is a motorist taking effective action to avoid a collision with another motorist, who was (apparently)...

I'm saying that people would likely first attempt to petition their own government and political leaders for redress ..... that is happening now to a great degree in a number of ways: thru the normal political process at the Federal level, thru the states suing the Federal government ...... as a...

Since you brought up Tom Woods, I offer the following 2007 piece (where he is mentioned in reference to his introduction to Murray Rothbard's book "The Betrayal of The American Right") of the comparison of this nation's first Mr. Republican, with the second, and the true principles of a...

Hmmm ...... suggesting the cessation of the use of specific weapons which indiscriminately target innocent civilians (including women and children) ..... is somehow equivalent with complete unilateral disarmament is ..... well, that's just pretty much totally retarded ..... Perhaps you'd like...

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains...

Indeed .... completely .... :D (present "conservatism" being largely a faux conservatism ..... aka neoconservatism) And it ties into my comments about how (at least some of) the tenets of socialism have been incorporated and rebranded into something else (neoconservatism) ..... It's an effort...

I have no grandchildren at this point, nor any on the immediate horizon that I'm aware of :rolleyes: ....... but I'm fairly sure that that both of my children will be paying for it as long as they live :( .... if they remain here in the US that is .....

I believe that I commented on the ideas contained in your statement. And then invited you to back up what you said with actual specifics and facts ..... using your not inconsiderable personal abilities and knowledge. Your time and effort would probably be better spent with laying out the...

chef, That statement is a complete crackup - and indicates complete takeover and subsumption of the YAF by forces which could only be described as neo-con - who, not surprisingly (to some, at any rate) admit they are more aligned with Obama, than with Ron Paul's more common sense approach to...

So you base your support of a candidate on who wins ..... rather than on your own philosophical and political positions ? Sounds sorta lemming-like to me ..... :rolleyes: So what are you thinking there Layout ..... Green Party ? Reform Party ? Mebbe you're considering going SPUSA (socialist)...

Stu Sutton is the former head IT dood for TST, who he left to form Sylectus, formerly known as GPSnet Technologies, I believe. BTW, I agree with you overall assessment - it is potentially a good thing (although not without downsides) - companies often reach a point in their growth where they...

Plenty of kooks - and just those who are sadly misinformed in one way or another - on both sides of the aisle. Sounds like a really good motivation for Israel to get right with it's neighbors .... My suggestion: skip the mass deployment of (US-made) clusterbombs as part of "getting right" ....

Well, I did vote for him ..... :rolleyes: Better idea: pick up a good book on the work of Edward Bernays or Ivy Lee .... :rolleyes: In some instances I'm quite sure that it is (in fact, I know that to be a fact) ...... although I'll bet that Jimmy Wales would prefer it to be otherwise. As...
