Interventionism serves no national interest

Liberty For All
by Brian Irving

09/22/12

Libertarian presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson believes, as I do, that the Bush-Obama-and-now-Romney interventionist foreign policy is getting Americans killed and contributing to the bankruptcy of our nation without clear sight of our national interests. Writing in an op-ed published in the Huffington Post, Johnson said, ''Foreign policy is supposed to make us safer, not get Americans killed and bankrupt us...

New voting laws in 23 of the 50 states could keep more than 10 million Hispanic U.S. citizens from registering and voting, a new study said on Sunday, a number so large it could affect the outcome of the November 6 election. The Latino community accounts for more than 10 percent of eligible voters nationally...

Occupy the Truth: Challenging the Media s Premature Post-Mortem on Occupy

Michael I. Niman, Art Voice: ''A large plurality of Americans started to list the disparity between the rich and the poor as one of the nation s most pressing issues. This is a fantastic track record for a one-year-old movement. And it is very threatening to the entrenched corporate interests who want us to believe that this movement is over, or better yet, that it never happened.''

Ten Questions Romney Should Answer About His Taxes

Seth Hanlon, ThinkProgress: "On Friday afternoon, the Romney campaign released the candidate s 2011 tax return, which showed that he paid a tax rate of approximately 14 percent on more than $13 million of reported income?. Romney s lack of transparency on his tax returns is especially troubling given that he is similarly evasive on the details of his tax policies.''
