The Genial Ronnie Enabled Genocide

Just one of the conservative Republican's war crimes, of course. The perp, like Reagan himself, was a particular fave of the blood-hungry religious right. (Thanks to Travis Holte)

FrontPageMag vs. Ron Paul

The angry site has always been convulsed over Ron, with the typical attack going something like this: "He fails to cherish a foreign government!! What kind of an American is he?! Destroy him!!" This time the writer is calmer and more civil, but is still alarmed to discover that Ron doesn't believe in wars of aggression, imperialism, militarism, and infinite transfers of OPM to the merchants of death. Can't have that kind of talk, especially since so many Americans are beginning to come to their senses. (Thanks to Laurence Vance)

Oh Brother

CBS attacks Ron Paul for using a private jet in his presidential campaign, like every other major candidate. I thought it was a mistake not to use one last time, and I heartily recommended using one this time. I have nothing to say about campaign spending, but for me, this should be the top priority, and I'll bet every Ron Paul donor agrees with me.

Not only because a private jet (a cramped, little plane, btw, not like Trump's 737) helps Ron make the most effective use of his campaigning time; not only because he has two jobs, and important congressional responsibilities to carry out as monetary chairman in DC; but also out of decency and respect for this great and dignified gentleman.

Ron has titanium knees, and therefore gets the physical feel-up in airports. Perhaps because he is an opponent of the TSA, he gets special attention, including an agent yanking his crotch three times. To avoid the airport police state, which he works to abolish, is reason enough for the little private jet.

The Bush-Perry Fight Club

Here's the timeline.

Will Wonders Never Cease

Jonah Goldberg quotes Murray Rothbard, and says something nice about Ron Paul. (Thanks to David McClain)

Real Diversity

Ron Paul's supporters include adult entrepreneurs as well as conservative religious folks.

Politico: 'Rick Perry travel bankrolled by activist rabbi Irwin Katsof'

His very plush travel.

In his NYC rally speech today, I noticed that Perry adhered to a foreign government as versus his own. Now, as an anti-nationalist, this doesn't bother me (though his policies certainly do), but aren't conservative Republicans supposed to be big patriots? (Thanks to Glenn Greenwald for this point)

Good News

Gary Johnson will be in the next GOP debate; he was a plus the last time they let him in.

Ron Paul Is Right: Audit the Fed, Then End It

One of Many Attacks on Tony Bennett for Telling the Truth About War

As the regimist NY Mag puts it:

"Tony Bennett Promotes New Album by Blaming America for 9/11."

That is, he supports peace and opposes the wars that the military-industrial complex starts. I just bought his new album, Duet II, to support him in the firestorm of hate. And because I love his music, of course. (Thanks to Joe Salvo)

UPDATE I only heard the preview of the first track in iTunes, but The Lady Is a Tramp with Tony and Lady GaGa is astounding.
