Given newsbusters updates on a daily basis, then perhaps a blog that chronicles the worst ones for people on the fence on liberty, to check out? Starting with maybe a list of 10 really egregious ones?

Bah, does that stop you from trying to wake people up to the truth?

Hey that's cool, however, looking around, they seem to be pro FOX news ... ? Here are some examples: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/07/08/gallup-fox-americas-number-one-news-source...

Such a website would be very useful so the media lies can be highlighted and chronicled and not dropped down the memory hole Some examples off the top of my head: - NBC editing Zimmerman 911 call - South Ossetia invasion - the black dude with the AR-15 closeup in a "white racist" rally

I threw up reading this one. What a moron. http://news.yahoo.com/teenagers-social-media-terrorism-threat-level-hard-assess-131320139.html “... we need indicators to know something’s not right,” says Sgt. Ed Mullins of the New York Police Department, ... "Using a zero tolerance approach to...

And why is this a bad thing? Foreign workers now compete with local ones. Laws that disrupt this process are a net economic negative. Such laws would favor the tiny % of programmers, to the detriment of the consumers. I believe it was Bastiat that explained that favoring a small group of...

Personally I think a head tax is the most equitable tax, in addition to the pay-for-service fee mentioned earlier.

The contracts between the H1B hires and the company are voluntary on both sides. The new hires prefer to be working in the USA for x wages with a 2 year contract, than to stay in their home countries. Why is that immoral?

You will trust psychopathic, rent-seeking politicians and bureaucrats to decide what and who is "fair", as opposed to letting the free market run? Every decision politicians make is politically based. The free market OTOH allows everyone to vote with their wallets.

What does that mean, "lost to China"? If you mean assembly, so what? Do you really want menial jobs stuffing printed circuit boards? The USA still has the highest value added jobs and technology in the computer world - the development of operating systems, standards, and software. Look at...

If we trade with say, China, we don't put a tariff on their imports but they put a tariff on our exports, they are simply taxing their populace when they want to buy our exports. US consumers will benefit as they get to buy products from whomever makes said products most efficiently (lowest...

Thanks all. Pericles, do you have a link to the 1833 SCOTUS event you mention? Also, I seem to remember Tom Woods saying that the final arbiter of the Constitution is not the SCOTUS but the States, via nullification. I understand the idea of this principle, but this sort of contradicts...

This is one common argument against States' Rights. I vaguely remember Tom Woods arguing that a) the people ultimately should control their State gov't (and of course people will have more power over more localized, than central, gov't) b) he mentioned some clause in the Constitution. Could...
