Political discourse in the United States consists largely of lies and confusions. One of the greatest of lies and confusions, which I hope to help dispel in this article, is the common delimitation of the very concepts “left” and “right”: it is claimed that to be on the right is to value freedom above all—this […]
On July 21, the Epoch Times uploaded a video to YouTube about an organisation called Run For Something. That something is a position in local government, or a position counting the votes to decide who serves in local government. This is a short video; you can watch it here. So who is behind Run For […]
Shortly after it was widely publicised that Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors had acquired a larger property portfolio than that of her fellow “socialist” Bernie Sanders, she was interviewed by Mark Lamont (from the River to the Sea) Hill wherein she was fielded a number of softball questions, but nothing that could embarrass her.

From his February 18, 2014 appearance on the Tom Woods Show, Judge Andrew Napolitano said (at 16:04): “Even when Lew Rockwell and you, and I, are dining together, I am the most libertarian person in the room.“ and: “The long answer is that I am the quintessential Rothbardian.

From his December 31, 2013 article, “‘Rockwell, You’re No Grover Cleveland’“, Lew Rockwell says: “LRC could use your help, too, of course. We want to be more effective in 2014 for freedom.

Here are 10 questions I have for Lew Rockwell, founder of the government-regulated and tax-exempt Ludwig von Mises Institute, and founder of the purported “anti-state” site, LewRockwell.com: 1) Why did you enter into a voluntary agreement with the very same government you said is “far worse than the mafia?“ 2) When there were prominent voices […]
