how very tiresome that reactionary members of zionist lobbies how many profit from or are friends with those who profit from the arms and munitions industry i wonder persist in persecuting rational observers of the continuing human rights abuses of the israeli government against the longsuffering 40 years and counting palestinians. not content with hounding topflight academics like norman finkelst...

i just wanted to give my wholehearted support to chris prebles statement on lebanon on catos website todayamerican policymakers should avoid further entangling the united states in the conflict. unfortunately two proposals on the table would do just that. the first involves an expansion of the un peacekeeping mission in southern lebanon an effort that has ground on for 28 years to little effect. i...

i dont have much to add to this post but matt yglesias use of green lantern to illustrate certain conservative visions of foreign policy deserves a read.
the emphasis on willpower is especially dangerous i think because its one of the things that leads to any criticism of the government or the military policy being seen as something that makes the country the military and the men and women actua... [Show More]

matthew yglesias writes massive new government program open to any number of abuses is just fine because some individuals talk loudly on cell phones in public places. yes theres no difference at all between those situations. i cant imagine what these liberals are complaining about.......

i see the government is putting all that phone data to good use. awesome.
