Jim Hightower: "Exciting news, folks. Obama and team say they're recalibrating, recasting, retooling and rebranding his presidency! And they've come up with a dandy new slogan to sum it all up and get America moving again. Ready? 'Win the future.' Takes your breath away, doesn't it? If you're old enough to remember Gerald Ford's hapless presidency, Obama's fabulous new slogan might have a familiar ring to it."

The revolutionary wave

Antiwar.com Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

01/28/11

The revolutionary wave now sweeping the world will not exempt America, in spite of the myth of 'American exceptionalism.' We cannot and will not be excepted from the iron laws of economics, which mandate that you can?t consume more than you produce -- no matter how many Federal Reserve notes (otherwise known as 'money') you print. The implications for US foreign policy are radical, and unsettling...

The state of the union is still a state of war

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

01/27/11

What was glaringly absent from President Obama?s state of the union address Tuesday night, as well as from the response from both the Republicans and the Tea Party movement, is an admission that the real state of the union is a state of war...

For the budget crisis, a fake solution

Reason Reason
by Steve Chapman

01/27/11

The latest Obama plan would cut projected outlays by an estimated $400 billion in the next decade, and the Republican alternative would cut spending by $2.5 trillion. It's a measure of our predicament that these enormous sums wouldn't make a lot of difference, even if they were achieved. They're the equivalent of trying to empty a swimming pool with a tablespoon...

Time now to step up the rhetoric

Pretty words do not make up for up for ugly actions. A man who beats his spouse can tell her he loves her as he blackens her eyes and breaks her will. We all know who Mr. Obama really works for...

Freedom is not compatible with government?s initiation of force against innocent people

Liberty & Power
by Robert Higgs

01/26/11

[A] presumption in favor of freedom rules out virtually everything that modern governments do, certainly nearly everything they do in interfering in economic affairs. Redistribution of income, for example, requires that the government rob Peter in order to benefit Paul (and its own functionaries, who serve as middlemen in this transfer). This action is not freedom; it is a crime against Peter, a raw violation of his right to his own legitimate property...
