Ron Paul’s Radical Deal

by Tim Kelly October 28, 2011

Several Republican presidential candidates have rolled out economic plans they claim will jumpstart the moribund U.S. economy and narrow the nation’s yawning fiscal gap. Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s plan creates an optional 20 percent flat income tax, restricts federal spending to 18 percent of GDP, and seeks a balanced budget by 2020. His plan also calls for lowering the corporate ... [click for more]

Hope and Change? Hardly

by Rich Schwartzman October 21, 2011

George W. Bush was a disgrace to the presidency. He initiated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he ran roughshod over civil liberties here at home in the name of what he called a war on terrorism. Barack Obama is worse. Not only has Obama kept the United States engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he’s upped the U.S. military ... [click for more]

Conservatives and American Empire

by Tim Kelly October 21, 2011

It has been said that every president makes us nostalgic for his predecessor.

George Bush will go down in history — at least among proponents of liberty, property, and peace — as one ... [click for more]

Give Me Doubleplusgood or Give Me Death!

by Wendy McElroy September 15, 2011

George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984, got a few things wrong — for example, the date. But he was dead-on in depicting the cause-and-effect relationship between language and politics, between language and our ability to think clearly; the process of using words as social control was called Newspeak. What cannot be expressed cannot be effectively understood or opposed. Neutralizing language ... [click for more]
