As Walter Block points out in Defending the Undefendable, a person does not own his reputation. Therefore, slander cannot be considered an act of aggression. Furthermore, the video in question did not even slander Ron Paul. Technically, it only criticized Huntsman. The fact that the video maker...

I agree with the blogger. Ron Paul and his campaign should be expected to respect the right to privacy under any circumstance and the worst thing would be for supporters to Ron Paul to water down the principles of liberty in exchange for political expediency, a pitfall that has killed many an...

Why don't anti-libertarians ever say anything new?

Not at all true. They have the development of the common law, the Levellers, John Locke, Cobden & Bright, and Auberon Herbert. They have a much stronger foundation for individual liberty than, say, Germany.

The "n" can be Nincompoop.

There is a pretty vast gulf between the views of Ron Paul and the views of the Green Party. They're both principled, and I assume the Green Party is, like Ron Paul, decent on war and civil liberty issues. But the economic views are as different as night and day. I think you'd better figure out...

All of which were caused by the state's interference with money. Violent monopolies can't solve anything. They just make the problem worse. Can the Mafia solve anything? Pollution is banned in a free market because it violates the property of others. Richer countries can afford bigger, more...

Fuck FEMA and fuck the evil idea that there is something loving and compassionate about taking care of people through theft. That's not an act of love. That's an act of hate: hatred for the rights of others. This is on top of the fact that a violent monopoly is the most ineffective way...

Ron Paul got 21% in Washington State in 2008, and he has increased his percentage in every single state so far. Therefore, it would be astoundingly disappointing if he got less than that in Washington. It would really mean that the GOP has decided to commit collective by becoming the Santorum party.

In other words, children are supposed to be ill-informed and ill-educated? Children have as much a love of knowledge as anybody else. Most children of any level of intelligence tend to become very fascinated by certain subjects and become compendiums of knowledge about them, be it dinosaurs...

How about we stop assuming that every time a young person says something intelligent, they were "put up to it." Stop infantilizing kids. Why should they even try to act mature if every time they do it, cynical grown-ups put them down for it? Heaven forebid they don't act like morons all the time.

Why torture yourself by paying any attention to it?

Well, all you can do is promote that money bomb. Though at some point, we really need to focus on supporting pro-liberty congressional campaigns.

Well, until you have some plan of action to take, there's no use talking. Unless the talk can lead to worthwhile action, we may as well just party.

Mmm...Pinot Grigio in a dixie cup.
