Romney to Endorse McCain

Romney to Endorse McCain (and Give Away Delegates)

So for all you people who thought Romney was a good idea and that McCain is a pile'o'junk liberal (which he is, I won't dispute that, I just think Romney is only 1% less bad), how do you like that decision now?

WHY didn't you vote for the only conservative who has proven time and time again that he will not compromise for evil, Ron Paul?

Here's the embarrassing brand of "conservatism" you ended up supporting:

· It is permissible to print currency at will and distort the people’s money.

· Being in Iraq for 100 years isn’t out of the question.

· Bomb, bomb, bomb… bomb, bomb, I-ran. (Don’t forget, over 10 US intelligence agencies reported in the last 4 months that Iran has no nuclear weapons program and hasn’t for over 5 years. Not that we can realistically afford the current war, let alone another.)

· You have the right to privacy… just not with your phones, your cars, your financial data, your ID cards, your work history, or your internet usage. Because, you know, you don’t have anything to hide, right?

· You have the right of habeas corpus… but only when El Presidente says so.

· You can the right of free speech… as long as it’s approved by the government first.

· Pre-emptive, undeclared war is… OK! Because we’re America, and we can do no wrong. We’re the world policeman, remember?

· Fascism is evil… except when we do it. Then it’s patriotic.

· Socialism is tyrannical… except when it’s for medicine, welfare, education, social security, stimulus packages, and your home loans. Then it’s “helping the little guy.” And if it just doesn’t work out the way we want, blame the free market.

So pardon me if I'm not impressed with your "principled" position of voting for the lesser of two evils in support of the "cause" (see above list for "cause" details).

Because guess what: you still voted for evil.

Write-in the right-guy in November, Ron Paul, and put an end to this charade.

On December 16th, 2007, the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, presidential candidate Ron Paul raised 6.04 million dollars in 24 hours. This is the largest single day donation for a presidential primary candidate in United States history, and the MSM is ignoring it. How much evidence do they need that Ron Paul is for real? What are they thinking, that we are still spammers?

How about this, MSM:
58,407 individual donors
24,915 first time donors
$102 average contribution

Okay, I wonder if any other candidate can inspire this sort of commitment? I mean, these contributors aren't big-wig corp execs who can drop 2300 bucks on a whim, these are people who are wondering if they can give $25 more and still feed their family from week to week.

Trust me, I know these people. We had around 1000 people out for a Tea Party on Ladybird Lake in Austin, TX that fabled Sunday afternoon. They come from all walks of life: young, old, African-American, white, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, high incomes, middle incomes, lower incomes - they are all there.

Why is this? Because freedom is popular. Because liberty brings dignity wherever you are in life. Because the message is universal.

So go jump, MSM. Get ready for some mega-blowback.

Ron Paul 2008 — Hope for America

Better beer attributed to global warming...

As well as about 600 other things.

You would think this would get old after a while.

To set the record straight, I do think that global climate change is occurring, and I'm not talking about day-to-day variation. However, I do not think it is entirely certain that human activity is its cause, and I certainly do not think the alarmism of Al Gore and his ilk is worth the trouble.

I actually have recently written a paper that addresses this very topic from a libertarian perspective. I hope to publish it in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, and I will be presenting it at the Austrian Scholar's Conference next March.

And my reward in class? My professor is now effectively calling me an "interesting contrarian". In my opinion, that's a good thing.

How Your Creepy Ex-Co-Workers Will Kill Facebook -- Facebook -- InformationWeek

In the real world, we don't articulate our social networks. Imagine how creepy it would be to wander into a co-worker's cubicle and discover the wall covered with tiny photos of everyone in the office, ranked by "friend" and "foe," with the top eight friends elevated to a small shrine decorated with Post-It roses and hearts. And yet, there's an undeniable attraction to corralling all your friends and friendly acquaintances, charting them and their relationship to you.
