"It is no doubt unfair of Cohen to victimize a perfectly nice man like Ron Paul. Watching Paul politely trying to deal with this weirdo made me reflect that as a fringe candidate, he has probably been subjected to a lot of strange questions on strange TV shows and probably is prepared to sit...

Wow. That was an oustanding skit. I usually hate beck, but sometimes he gives that judgment pause.

LRC is a daily read for me. At first, it was a bitter pill to swallow (I was an Army ROTC cadet with a full scholarship at the time I first read it) and I reacted by personally attacking Lew. But through prayer, sober thought, and the irresistable human urge to taste the forbidden fruit (or...

That's one of my serious disagreements with Lew. I admire all that he has done for liberty, but I don't understand the "don't vote" stuff if a Paul or Schiff are on the ballot. Does anyone know if he called people to vote for Paul in the last election?

Be your zany voluntaryist self all you want, and I'll respect you for it. But why be on RPF if you don't believe in political action? Even if I were persuaded over to anarcho-capitalism, I would still vote were a genuine (not bob barr or wayne allen root) libertarian on the ballot.

I'm fine with the anarcho-capitalists, (I'm personally a minarchist running out of excuses) but I don't see why they aren't more excited about getting real libertarians elected. If they want to abolish the state, certainly giving Peter Schiff a megaphone is a step in the right direction...?

Well, I won't question the judgment of a fellow Cpac-er!!!

If you can't be loyal to your wife (and more importantly, your kids) than how the hell can you be trusted with the massive (usually evil) power of the state? If you want to screw around, don't get married. If you can't stand your wife, get a divorce. But you don't cheat on your wife. I'm sorry...

I don't think it's that he doesn't desire power. I think he just would find it boring, because he's smarter than most of these bureaucrats. And altruism DOES exist. People are primarily motivated by self-interest, but ALL OF US (other than the occasional sociopath, most of whom enter politics...

Don't invade them! The quote was contingent to a US preemption, which the NK nuclear program clearly is intended to deter. The NK government, like the SU government, will never use their nuclear weapon, because doing so would get them wiped off the face of the world. They will (sadly) murder as...

My point isn't calling out on how he sells the foreign policy message (emphasizing a strong national defense is fine), it's calling his actual positions. I find those positions to be dissapointing and troubling, but I still am fully supporting Dr. Rand Paul. However, while it may not be enough...

Rand Paul impresses me in many ways. Like his father, he comes across as a thoughtful, gentle, and authentic person. It's almost impossible to listen to this guy or read his biography without thinking: wow, this is a man I can trust. That being said, I have some major concerns with him. His...

My parents are scientists so I'm a bit hard to convince about anything. In your clip I see nothing conclusive whatsoever. Some of the suspected hijackers probably are alive! The state screws up all the time in its 'criminal justice.' That is no evidence of anything. Again, it's GREAT to doubt...
