The interview itself was uneventful. Michael was gently trying to pin him down as isolationist, Rand Paul was skillfully avoiding the trap. Though after the interview, Michael said his spiel which was that Rand Paul is a loser of CPAC because he blew away the opportunity at CPAC to target real...

On now. 2:07pm PST

Just heard Michael said that Rand Paul will be dialing in to discuss NSA, Ukraine, etc. He did not say when exactly. It is 12-3pm PST.

Rand Paul is not correct about Ukraine being a little country. It is about the size of Texas. It is one of the larger European countries. Spot check: France: 640,679[1] km2 Ukraine: 603,628 km2 Germany: 357,168 km2

Very good analysis, mczerone. I was taken aback by the rather sloppy work that Epstein did in this article. He is supposedly a scholar of libertarianism and has written chapters in "The Encyclopedia of Libertarianism" and written a bunch of other liberianish articles: "Forbidden Grounds: The...

First link on top. Not sure for how long it will remain there. http://www.lauraingraham.com/pg/jsp/charts/streamingAudioMaster.jsp;jsessionid=B7A5E70B75C4911DDF3C5EE84116848C?dispid=302&headerDest=L3BnL2pzcC9tZWRpYS9mbGFzaHdlbGNvbWUuanNwP3BpZD0xNzM4NQ==

They discuss Obama, Rule of Law and Bill Clinton

Interesting article. It seems that the author is feeling the pressure to distance himself from libertarianism and Rand Paul. I find arguments he lists on superiority of his definition of "classical liberalism" unconvincing. http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/article/167496

I agree. I was making an argument trying to convince "machos" that current behavior of US is behavior of a weak country. Country not sure of its own defensive capabilities that it had to go and actively weaken its future enemies. Compare with China or Russia, they spend way less than US, but...

I think peace through strength is a good slogan. If we feel weak, we might think that we need to engage in wars, overthrow other governments. If we are strong, we don't have to. BTW, strong doesn't mean more military spending than the rest of the world combined. Not even stronger than any...

Nice. Rand's outreach to "national security" voters continues. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/10/15/peace_through_strength_us_iran_nuclear_negotiations
