Delaware Libertarian

08/07/12

It never ceases to amaze me that people who will go out and become activists for better health insurance or raising/lowering our taxes apparently have absolutely no understanding of the fact that those debates are all entirely moot. What President Obama and Governor Romney have an unspoken agreement not to discuss is that fact that what is pushing our economy off the cliff, bankrupting our Treasury, and ultimately betraying the American experiment in freedom and democratic values is our foreign wars...

Political elections do not choose leaders of society

Liberty For All
by William L. Anderson

08/06/12

Political elections do not choose leaders of society. Rather, they are an exercise in which groups of people choose individuals who will assist them in looting other groups of individuals, those folks who were unfortunate enough not to be able to elect their own political strongman. The process can be downright blatant, as is the case in African and Asian countries, or it can be relatively subtle as it is in the United States, where the trappings of ?constitutionality? and ?rule of law? hide many of the more nefarious goings on...

Obama s regime change policy in Syria

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

08/13/12

The Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA are making war plans for Syria. And they?re pretty much announcing them. Over the weekend, on a visit to Turkey, a NATO member, to meet with Syrian opposition leaders and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explicitly declared that Washington s policy toward Syria is now in what she called the 'operational' phase. ... Make no mistake: this is regime change by force. It s not exactly like Iraq, and it s not exactly like Libya (yet), but it s regime change by force anyway.
