Was it all just a tempest in a tea pot?

If such a crack does take place in Obama Nation, then opposition to him has a better chance of succeeding than it does now. But it will take smart opponents to know how to take advantage of it. Hopefully someone will have learned something by then.

It's tough being in the opposition party when a new president is inaugurated. Now imagine being the opposition party and a minority one in Congress to boot and you've got the proverbial SOL situation for the Republicans in 2009. They're lucky President Obama even gives them the time of day.
The d...

Based on the work of Ayn Rand´s Anthem, the rock band Rush released the album 2112 in 1976 and it helped stamp themselves as an official "cult" band, meaning one that did not have mass commercial success but plenty of fans who bought their cassettes, records and, back then, 8-tracks religiousl...

Bob Barr's recent snub of Ron Paul's non-major party press conference this week is typical
of such parties difficulties

If it were not for Ron Paul then Sarah Palin would still be gearing up for the upcoming youth hockey season.

You know when someone is a part of the establishment or at least as seen as a benign threat to it when you get puff pieces written about you as Rush Limbaugh did by Zev Chafets in the New York Times Magazine.
Perhaps my biggest bone of contention with the article is the fact that there are any nu...

A former conservative Republican state senator in Wisconsin has come up with a ingenious way to help elect more conservatives to the Wisconsin State Legislature.
Run them as Democrats.
With the unpopularity of the Republican Party at an all time high and after years of futility trying to elec...

Barak Obama stumbles upon Sam Francis' writings about Middle American Radicals, even if he didn't intend to.
March 25, 2008
The turnout in many GOP primaries and caucuses was higher than expected this election year, but didn´t do Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) any favors. Although dwarfed by Democratic totals, Republican turnouts in many contests were higher largely due to the competitive nature of the race.
A good exa...

Many Ron Paul supporters are amazed if not mystified that Rep. Paul could have won 70 percent of the vote in his own Congressional District in Texas against a reasonably serious opponent, yet have his best performance in his campaign for President come in the Montana GOP caucuses. There he won 24% o...

In 1967, Lt. Col. Joseph P. Mitchell wrote a book on the generals who fought in the American Revolution. The main thesis of his book was that while the romantic view of the war had the British Army beaten by simple farmers with pitchforks fighting in the militia, the reality was far different. Mitch...

In my last article, I wrote about the cosmopolitan vs. provincial (or cosmo vs. provo) divide that transcended all political parties and ideologies. There truly is a divide between policy makers and the elites found in metropolitan areas, especially on the east and west coasts where the bulk of th...

The recent debate over Ron Paul's Newsletters form 20 years ago exposes the current fault line in U.S. politics, between cosmopolitians and provincials.

I do not watch Glen Beck’s show on the CNN Headline News channel because I do not have the time to waste on a stupid and silly individual. However, when I found out Beck would be interviewing Thomas Naylor of the Second Vermont Republic and Dr. J. Michael Hill of the League of the South ...

Joel Stein you blew it.
You had in your hands a story that could have been the defining piece on the 2008 presidential election.
Your editors at Time magazine gave you the assignment to delve into the Ron Paul campaign and find out what made it tick, find out what motivates his suppo...

I was at the Iowa Straw Poll in Ames this past summer. While out in the vast parking lots of the Hilton Coliseum that morning, holding a Ron Paul sign, I noticed all the campaign workers from the Romney and Tancredo camps riding golf carts to and from their respective tents to the parking l...

In 1964, just before the New Hampshire primary, an average Joe named Paul Grindle didn’t particularly care for the choice of candidates running for the Republican nomination for President.
So he decided to run his own candidate for president.
With the help...

There’s a funny scene during a Monty Python television show that captures my opinion about apologies.
A soundtruck that goes through a city that’s recently been bombed by the U.S. in a vain attempt to destroy “Mr. Neutron”, a supposed threat to the world. Of course, Mr. Neutron was nowhere to be...

I don’t know about you, but if I was the President and any man asking for a pardon for one of his buddies started questioning my integrity and my decency in the pages of his magazine, I would make sure that person served the maximum time of his sentence. Especially when this magazine edi...

Why does Rudy Guliani lead or has led the field of GOP presidential candidates in most polls since the beginning of the year, despite the fact he remains outside the party’s mainstream on issues like abortion, immigration and homosexual rights?
Over 10 years ago such positions would have certai...

The ironies are sweet, as sweet as candy shop when it comes to Madison, Wisconsin left and Vang Pao. And it’s too sweet to ignore.
They are building a new school in Madison and the school needs a name. So the Madison School Board, in a fit of multiculturalism, decided to reward Madison’s Hmong ...

A few weeks ago Ron Paul made his best, in my opinion, appearance on a television news show since beginning his campaign for president. Speaking to John King on CNN’s Late Edition Rep. Paul laid it on the line what his campaign about when he (paraphrasing) that he “wanted the Republican ...

U.S. House member Wayne Gilchrist (R-Maryland) had an interesting interview in Reason magazine recently in which he stated that there were at least 30 to 60 members of the House GOP caucus that were opposed to the so-called “surge” of U.S. troops into Iraq at the beginning of the year. Alas, ...

It’s fashionable to call the murderer of Virginia Tech, Seung-Hui Cho, deranged or crazy or a lunatic. But people who are diagnosed as crazy generally are called as such because they do things that don’t make sense and could be classified as quite stupid. Cho certainly knew what ...

I see Bay Buchanan is joining the campaign of Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Col.) for president. No doubt Tancredo feels that having someone as prominent as Buchanan signing on to his campaign gives it credibility and one would think the seal of approval by Brother Pat himself.
However, I doubt the once s...

Just as explorers looked for a northwest passage through Canada to the Orient, different from two main trade routes through the Middle East and around South America, so do are politicians and policy makers looking for new, “third ways” of foreign policy and politics through Canada.
Canada’s rela...

John McCain gave a speech last week at VMI defending the war in Iraq and urging for the U.S. to stay the course for final victory. While he never quite did define what final victory would look like, the speech was an important one to try and revive the flagging fortunes of his campaign. A vigorous d...

When it was leaked out that U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex) was forming an exploratory committee to run for the GOP nomination for President, the excitement and electricity on the internet was enough to give full power to Baghdad. Paul has long been a favorite among many on the information super-highway ...

War has a way of coming up with its own bizarre logic that makes it truly frightening if not unintentionally hilarious. This is what made Stanley Kubrick's movie Dr Strangelove so successful because it took that logic, parodied it, and made a hilarious comedy about the dark subject of nuclear war. O...

Demographics is destiny and that's true not just in politics but business, education, sports, entertainment, culture and religion.
Especially religion.
That's because numbers and numbers of adherents determine whether or not your faith is taken seriously or is just another kooky cult.

Say what you want about Fox News but you cannot deny that both of the Republicans debates they have broadcasted had the most memorable moments, both of which involved Ron Paul. The Fox News debate moderators have allowed the debates to actually be debates rather than a 90 minute game of “What’s My L...
