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.
One thing that disgusted me equally about Sarah Palin and Joe Biden last night was their proclamation of a “passion” and deep, abiding “love” for a foreign country during an American presidential campaign.
I turned to those watching with me and said, “Could they get away with saying that about any of our other [...]
Note: Libertarian Girl is off to Europe, but while she’s away she’ll be updating with previously written posts about politics and life in the places she’s visiting. She’ll soon be back to her regularly scheduled Libertarian Girl programming.
You can’t get very far in Austria without being reminded of the country’s Nazi past. Austria was invaded [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I recently received a survey from the “Republican Senate Leadership” with an enclosed letter from Senator John Ensign which says that I, as a “loyal grassroots Republican,” have been selected as a “representative of ALL REPUBLICANS living in your voting district” and the survey– of which only limited numbers were sent out– must be accounted [...]
I spent the weekend in Miami and was on my way home early Tuesday morning when I heard on the radio that Fidel Castro had decided to hand power over to his brother.
When I told the friend driving with me the news, and how disappointing it was that we had just left Miami and missed [...]
I’ve been against the Iraq War from the start, but since we’re in it, and since leaders are saying that we might invade Iran or Pakistan or even other countries in addition to what we’ve gotten ourselves into in Iraq, we have to think of what our policy will be if and when we [...]
I was reading a fringe blogger today, who called Congressman Ron Paul “a fringe candidate” without mentioning him by name. That’s really amazing that a “fringe candidate” could come 3% away from placing 3rd in the first two major primaries of the election season.
I’ve had a couple different people tell me this week [...]
Today marks the sixth anniversary of the opening of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, which is holding suspected terrorists, or “enemy combatants” in government-speak– some of them even Americans.
I think Guantanamo should be closed, for a few reasons. It seems to be a way of just holding people without letting us ever put [...]
Lew Rockwell writes:
“Today? The president moves about like Caesar Augustus, with a vast, graded court of civil and military aides, doctors, secretaries, valets, hairdressers, makeup artists, bodyguards, drivers, baggage handlers, cooks, food tasters, Praetorian guards, snipers, centurions, bulletproof limos, a portable hospital, and an armored rostrum. And that’s when he travels in the United States.
When [...]
