I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
Before the invasion of Iraq, Buchanan wrote:
“With our MacArthur Regency in Baghdad, Pax Americana will reach apogee. But then the tide recedes, for the one endeavor at which Islamic people excel is expelling imperial powers by terror or guerrilla war.
They drove the Brits out of Palestine and Aden, the French out of Algeria, the Russians [...]
I recently watched the ’70s movie Serpico, which is not a Mafia movie as so many Pacino movies were then, but a true story about a New York City police officer named Frank Serpico who happened to be pretty much the only cop on the force not taking bribes from criminals– or at least the [...]
Chris Tame, the founder of Britain’s Libertarian Alliance, died two years ago today. As is so often the case, Sean Gabb says it best.
“But he has now been dead two years. No one can possibly replace him as a centre of gravity for the British libertarian movement. At first or second hand, he inspired every [...]
That was my favorite chant at the anti-war protest march I attended today for the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. The ironic thing is that the people chanting it happily give their vote to those very members of Congress who claim they’re anti-war and yet allocate more and more funding for it; when there [...]
Westboro Baptist Church is the unspeakably obnoxious group that protests at things like dead soldiers’ funerals (apparently more than 280 of them) and the funerals of college students. Their main gripe seems to be, of all things, homosexuality, and they hold signs saying things like “Thank God for IEDs.”
The disgusting behavior of these people is [...]
What’s the bigger threat to the environment, global warming or Ben Bernanke?
Exactly how many trees will have to be cut down for all the dollars Helicopter Ben’s been ordering lately from his well-used printing press?

“Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man.”
Why can’t libertarians “brainwash” kids, too?
We’re at a disadvantage. It’s clear that Democrats and Republicans have been actually brainwashing American kids for years, and kids often initially follow the political views of their parents (even Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl!) [...]
Libertarians believe in individual freedom– life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, and all that. This can often be accomplished through ownership of private property. What about freedom for trees, though?
I present to you The Tree That Owns Itself, in Athens, Georgia.
One unfortunate aspect about The Tree That Owns Itself is that, while it [...]
“We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.” — Congressman Ron Paul
Ron Paul has now said he is focused on continuing to further the message of liberty rather than continuing his presidential campaign (although he will continue to contest primaries and collect delegates). Everyone is wondering what’s next– could Ron Paul’s [...]
MSNBC has cancelled Tucker Carlson’s show. Reaction has ranged from “Tucker Who?” to “Hallelujah!” to a sense of sadness to see a non-typical right-winger get kicked off a channel (from a liberal) to “Now he can be McCain’s vice presidential nominee.”
Many people describe Tucker Carlson as a libertarian or a conservative-libertarian, so it’s important to [...]
