Ralph Nader →
From the article:
[Nader] says there is one candidate who sticks out—who even gives him hope: Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
That might sound counterintuitive. Nader, of course, is known as a stalwart of the independent left, having first gained notoriety for his 1960s campaign to impose greater regulatory requirements on automakers—a policy act that would seem to contravene the libertarian...

Arrests and Brutality during "Occupy Wall Street"...
laliberty:
Simply barbaric.
The images of non-violent people being rounded up and brutalized are disturbing. To state-sympathizers, these events have been shocking; but to libertarians who have documented the long history of police brutality against peaceful people, it is not unexpected.
Here’s one point I hope the protesters don’t miss: they were not aggressed against by Wal-Mart managers,...

Oh, hypocrisy: While "freeing" Libya, U.S. bombs... →
From the article:
As all eyes have been on Libya, there have also been large developments in another country we are bombing, Yemen. Just this week protesters took over a military base aided by military defectors, which brought along with it a death toll of over 50 people. Violence has continued to rise yet it really isn’t clear to people why this concerns the United States or why it is...

My questions for the next GOP debate.
The cool folks at DC Decoder are rounding up short sets of questions/expectations/hopes for the next GOP debate from a handful of political bloggers on tumblr. I’m not totally sure what the end goal is, but it sounds like a sweet idea. They were kind enough to ask me to participate, and these are the questions I submitted:
If you support a strong defense, do you want to keep our military...

Study: 59 Percent of Iraqi Widows Lost Husbands... →
Just a quick bit of math shows that to be some 900,000 women who lost their husbands since 2003, an enormous number that once again points to the civilian death toll since 2003 being much larger than the US ever cared to admit.

More secret wars! →
From the article:
The Obama administration is assembling a constellation of secret drone bases for counterterrorism operations in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of a newly aggressive campaign to attack al-Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen, U.S. officials said….
The rapid expansion of the undeclared drone wars is a reflection of the growing alarm with which...

This is a short and sweet little bill which states:
Congress finds that the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note), signed into law on September 18, 2001, has been used to justify a broad and open-ended authorization for the use of military force and such an interpretation is inconsistent with the authority of Congress to declare war and make all...

At the most recent GOP debate, Ron Paul provided, as usual, the voice for peace and reason in foreign policy:
“This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this and they’re attacking us because we’re free and prosperous that is just not true,” Paul said in the debate. “Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaida has been explicit. They have been explicit and they wrote, and...

Flagless: An Introductory Post
flagless:
If you were to associate the name “Christian” with the name “Anarchist” in a public or private conversation you would receive looks of perplexity and general disdain. Surely nothing that is “Anarchistic” has anything to do with Christianity? Anarchism is a word that, sadly, scares everyone. If you were to ask a room full of people what they believed Anarchism to be you would get a...
