    Ben & Jerry's founder launches dollar-stamping campaign to promote campaign finance reform

    Despite whether I agree or disagree with them, Ben and Jerry need to shut the fuck up and make ice cream.

    Spin Article: "Ron Paul Supporters See Libertarian Opportunity in Paul Ryan as VP"

    Kudos to the commenters. His votes should make it painfully clear his only principle is to toe the line.

    SOPA is coming back. Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas is bringing back portions of it...

    To answer Joe Pags, THIS IS WHY Richard Mack opposed him!

    Have you ever met someone who went from being a Libertarian to a Leftist?

    Bingo. It usually isn't a question of morality it's a question of outcome (i.e. pragmatism over principles). You can always pull out some statistic that supports one side or the other, and you can usually flat out lie without someone confirming your facts. Pragmatic arguments are sometimes the...

    Respond to this: Libertarians are no better...

    The "guy" is supposed to be the US in this case, but I'm willing to entertain a new analogy if you want to say the US is gang raping other countries.

    Respond to this: Libertarians are no better...

    It's not a perfect analogy, and that was my response (saw this statement on another forum), but how would you respond to such a comparison?

    Image: Dr. Paul fills out a prescription for Santorum

    Constitution! Now in fun, chewable dinosaur shapes and easy-to-insert suppositories. Which one is your favorite Rick?

    Question at the Debate

    I think it's essentially the same thing to ask, "Why are you a conservative/Republican?" To me that says pretty much everything about a candidate, assuming they answer honestly. I'm sure none would say it's because they couldn't get on the Democratic ballot.

    I'll be in studio on local talk (San Antonio) radio station...

    Man the one day I don't listen to his show. Anybody have a recording or does Jack have a podcast?

    30 Hour Work Week

    30 hours is just as arbitrary as 40. Full-time should be defined at a businesses discretion. My work has a lot of temps that work 40 hours a week with zero benefits. You'd better believe the turnover rate is really high. I'm sure other businesses would see that as a huge problem, but I got...

    Can someone explain this occupy infographic to me?

    I'm too lazy to make my own infographic right now, but there should be a little more "honesty" when it comes to the percentages. How about we get an extra line that says: How about the 51% pony up 1% before you ask the 1% to pony up anything else?

    About to go on Glenn Beck

    Transcript anyone? I can't stand to hear that charlatans voice.

    Do Higher Taxes Equal Reinvestment And Jobs or is this article just a Liberal lie ?

    This statement is completely laughable. Do banks generate interest from deposits by having a leprechaun rub dollars together? Banks make money for depositors by loaning out their deposits (with interest) to entrepreneurs (you know, job creators) and investing that money in stocks and bonds...

    Just mailed in my absentee ballot

    Thanks for posting this. I would've missed the vote for sure. I wouldn't vote on anything other than 5 & 6 though. Too often these initiatives or amendments aim to make the government more effective, but aside from essential services I want the government to be as inefficient as possible.

    College student looking for career help

    If there is someone who particularly inspires you try to see if they have a biography. In other words try and take a cue from someone who's been there. In the current economy though, you need to find a way to kick things up a notch.
