In his Wall Street Journal column today, former Bush political guru and current informal McCain adviser Karl Rove criticizes Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for using his money advantage to launch the air war,? claiming that this may not be as smart as it appears?

I see Tanky’s trying to make the best of a bad situation for his peeps. The GOP has had control of all three branches of government for most of this century thus far. What’s the result? Mired in two wars, both of them against…

The following statement is written by Congressman Paul about the pending financial disaster. He will introduce this statement as a special order and insert it into the Congressional Record next week….

An excellent statement from Ron Paul!!! as usual. Just 4 or 5 hours ago, I was talking to my 29 year old daughter, and I advised her to take her money out of her savings accounts, etc… and to buy gold or silver. She asked why. (Of…

Google freezes, then unfreezes, a number of anti-Obama blogs, saying it was a mistake caused by e-mail spam.

The point is, people and groups should be free to publish and organize politically, including groups organizing on the internet to defeat Obama. Whether or not you agree with them, numerous Clinton supporters are angry with the Party and the media…

I want to point out that Barack Obama told me that progressive activists should judge him explicitly by what he does - and not come up with wild theories that absolve him. Those who think they are being Obama loyalists by either concocting apologist rationales about his behavior or telling everyone to shut up are harming the progressive movement.

Fine blog: careful, sensitive, nuanced and progressive. I have seen my share of leftist and progressive groups fall on their faces because 1) they have split the finest hairs of orthodoxy; gatekeepers for each ideological stripe determine…

Most Americans, as ignorant of our heritage of principled insurrection as they are well-versed in the ephemera of pop culture, would find such sentiments abhorrent. In that fact we see that - whatever may be the status of our current “right” to keep and bear arms - the intellectual and psychological disarmament of our population is nearly complete

zach,i think you missed what Will was saying (and i hear this mistake so often) when you said:”That means anything the common foot soldier carries: handguns, rpg's, automatic carbines, shotguns, and long range rifles. PERIOD….

At last, something that perfectly expresses our 21st century ‘Merkun culture.
FTA:
“As the Daily Mail reported recently, the Pentagon has splashed out for white sand beaches, a golf course, movie theaters, a bowling alley, restaurants ?even a Wal-Mart? right next to the holding pens where Terror War captives have languished in limbo for years..”

“In a possible indication of the ruling's contents, the American archbishop who is supervising the seminary review said last week that “anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity or has strong homosexual inclinations,” should…

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, for the first time in the nation’s history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation’s capital……>>

“I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms,” Obama said, “but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that…

The Supreme Court says Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices’ first definitive pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history.

The opinion, the last and perhaps most anticipated ruling of the court's current term, delivered a bold and unmistakable endorsement of the individual right to own guns. At the same time, it raised as many questions as it answered about the…

The Supreme Court strikes down the Washington, D.C. handgun ban.

While the declaration of the individual right was clear-cut, as was the decision’s nullification of key parts of the Washington, D.C., law,?the Court did not lay down a standard for judging the constitutionality of any other federal…

While China has been growing into an economic powerhouse these last thirty years, America, under the sway of Reaganism-Bushism, has become the economic equivalent of a Midwestern town decimated by a crystal meth epidemic.

But why stop with people, even 6.5 billion of them? There’s an entire landscape to be raped! Doing so with wanton disregard for the consequences is Principle Number Five. When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, one of the surprises for…

Perhaps he really does mean for change…He personally called the women that were not allowed on stage with him to apologize. Can you see McCain doing this?

Really, I don’t have a dog in the fight since Ron Paul called it quits but whom do you suppose gave the order for them to be removed from the stage in the first place? Are you really naive enough to believe Obama doesn’t…

John McCain has identified Roberts and Alito as ideal justices of the type he would nominate, while Barack Obama has identified Stephen Breyer, David Souter and Ginsberg (all in the majority today). It’s not hyperbole to say that, from Supreme Court appointments alone, our core constitutional protections could easily depend upon the outcome of the

The Supreme Court today did what the Founders envisioned it should do: it protected our basic constitutional guarantees from erosion and assault by a corrupt majority within the political class. In so doing, the Court took a mild though important…

While British conservatives oppose mild increases in Government detention and surveillance powers, American “conservatives” (read: authoritarians) support endless expansion of those powers

The contrast between the British Right and the American Right could not be more glaring. The former is at least mildly faithful to the principles they espouse, while the latter has morphed completely into an authoritarian,…

Long article, not DIGG friendly.

This article is long and not DIGG friendly.I recommend you don't read it, just say fuck it, and buy The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by John J. Mearsheimer, Stephen M. Walt.Still here?OK, lets begin.The Uri Avnery article is here, at…

A top federal judge who is presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles has been caught posting explicit photos and videos to his web site. The judge told the Los Angeles Times that he didn’t think the site was publicly accessible.

Maybe that's why this matters. If the 9th ever releases an opinion on the MDL cases, what influence will Kozinski have in formulating it? And if he is too embarrassed by this scandal, and has to step down, what happens to the pending appeal?…

With gasoline prices topping $4 a gallon, Senate Democrats wanted the U.S. government to throttle back on the billions of dollars in profits being taken in by the major oil companies. But with the White House threatening a veto of the bill, the Senate voted 51-43 to close debate, well shy of the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster.

The tax breaks that big oil receives are criminal and highly unethical. It has always been my understanding that these sort of government assistance programs were to help struggling business people. The issue of the windfall profit tax is a…

Do illegal aliens have rights to basic services? Will local regulation herd them all into massive sanctuary cities?

After all, why should those here illegally reap the benefit of services that they are not paying the taxes that are designed to subsidize these services. I am no tax attorney but isn’t it a crime to intentionally not file a tax return to…

Award-winning actor details his new movie chronicling the 2000 recount and Hollywood politics

SPACEY: I think what — I guess what we hope is that, by making the film not a boring historical polemic, but trying to make, actually, almost a political thriller. I mean, if you think about it, maybe one of the last great political…

29 year old Cris Morris, history teacher and girls soccer coach at Hurricane High School in Hurricane, Utah, who looks like she cleans up well, has been sentenced to *gasp* 30 days in jail, *gasp again* 3 months probation, and a *gasp of the century* grand total of $5,500 in fines and restitution. She faced up to 15 years in prison.
