The Rising Tide

Forget the Google stock. The smart money was apparently buying up $20-denominated Ron Paul Liberty Dollars, which are now selling for $525 and up on ebay. Of course, the lucky owners can thank the feds for making the coins collectors’ items.

Woo-hoo! No petitioning!! (Did I ever mention that I hate petitioning?) I just found this in the inbox from last night: November 16, 2007   We are pleased to announce that just minutes ago, our attorney received a letter from the New York State Board of Elections informing us that Ron Paul will be on

Curtis Sliwa says he’s going to run for Public Advocate in 2009 on a platform of abolishing the position.  Sounds very familiar…

When the news started circulating through the blogosphere yesterday, a lot of people assumed it was a hoax, because the story was so absurd. But no, the FBI and the Secret Service really did raid the headquarters of the Liberty Dollar. To be honest, I’ve never been as big a Liberty Dollar fan as some other Libertarians —

Historically, Iran may be the poster child for tragically failed US foreign policy and the past is prologue if Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton are elected.  To his credit, Barak Obama has a more intelligent position though he seems to have wised-up from his previous more hawkish rhetoric.  Ron Paul ?  No surprise –

He totally fails to understand

I just received a mailer from the Marijuana Policy Project.  If you are not a member – sign up now.  This is one of the most effective organizations anywhere promoting an issue important to libertarians. The mailer includes a report card for 16 Democratic and Republican presidential candidates and the results are pretty interesting.  The only

There’s just no escaping that pro-freedom presidential candidate these days… New York Press has a nice feature this week on the NYC contingent of the Ron Paul Revolution.  Also this week, Time Magazine publishes a rather snarky – but not entirely negative – piece about Ron Paul and his supporters. Fortunately, the snark is mostly aimed at

It’s fashionable in some libertarian circles to dismiss global warming  but I think sustainability is very libertarian. Think about property rights.  For example,  it’s pretty obvious that if you dump your trash on my front porch, or more accurately my front stoop,  that’s a crime against my property.  If your factory belches smoke that provably gives my kid
