Libertarian Candidate Tells The Truth!

The following is a speech given by the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate in Montana. Obviously, he is not going to win. However, he had the balls to say the truth on national TV during a senate debate. Listen carefully to the one-liner rebuttal by the incumbent...the man he pointed out who had voted in favor of National ID cards...

Federal Agents Grill 14-year-old Girl At School

http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/38768.html

To question a 14-y/o girl without her parents present is pathetic. The reasons, of course, are obvious: 1) get her at school and her friends have to see her being "taken" by government agents - this both humiliates her in public and serves as a warning to the other kids; 2) questioning her without her parents makes it possible for all kinds of things to have been said to her, including threats and more; 3) they
probably expected the bad press and were willing to accept it as further reminders to the public at large of their powers...

Army Captain and Iraqi War Vet Letter To The Editor

"So we would leave Iraq, scarred, but hopefully smarter as well. The "long war" is a war of ideas. If Iraq is to teach us anything, it must be that a new idea cannot be beat into a society. I'm a believer in John Stuart Mill's assertion that "All people have the government they deserve," implying that both the choice and its consequences belong to the society as a whole. Rather than putting my faith in the force of arms to transform a society, I put my faith in the force of our ideas.

"The power of the idea of America had been on the march for half a century -- vanquishing its contrapositive in the form of global communism and gradually changing the face of the world -- until those who didn't really believe it themselves corrupted that idea.

"Extraordinary rendition," Guantanamo Bay, and Abu Ghraib have all become shorthand for an America (or an American administration) that lost faith in the power of its own idea. Their hypocrisy seemingly exposed, people who had embraced and were gradually working towards that American idea in the world's most volatile regions were emasculated. These liberals, moderates, progressives and reformers have been overwhelmed by a new generation of extremists determined that an open society in which people were free to express themselves, to make decisions about how to live their own lives, and to have a voice in dictating the laws that would govern them was not a desirable one.

What gives me some degree of hope is the ultimate vacuity of this alternative to the American idea. But as long as they can point to the adoo baeed -- the external enemy -- to deflect the blame from their own moral and material bankruptcy, they may stay afloat. If we're able to reassert our idea and to hold it up to people as a real choice, I know this current setback can be overcome. No amount of violence inflicted in the name of freedom, however, will be the force to bring it about."

Dreams

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to find out where they're going and hook up with them later. --Mitch Hedberg.

Fake Al-Quaeda Tapes?

More great stuff from Alex Jones! This is a compelling interview with Steve Watson, whose well-known brother is a front-runner in the fight to expose the 9/11 lies. Steve, apparently, is a strong researcher in his own right... Listen to the interview here: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/October2006/071006Watson.htm
