Thoughts From the Debate

I despise the Republican party. I despise its murderous candidates. I despise its neocon thinktanks. I despise the gang of self-satisified overlords in an imperial hall. I despise DC.

Of course, Ron Paul--getting a little more time than usual (and plenty of split-screens to try to make him look bad)--was magnificent: on war, civil liberties, foreign policy, spending, foreign aid, "terrorism," the dictatorship. And as usual, he was the intellectual among the boobs, the man of peace among the bloodthirsty, the Austrian economist among the Keynesians, the realist among the hysterical, the honest man among the thieves, the champion of freedom among the fascists.
