Officer Kanapsky, is it?

We need to realize that the police are like all other government employees: self-interested, living off tax dollars, parasitical on our liberties. The case of Officer Kanapsky shows precisely how and why. The policeman, standing around in a courtroom to testify against our claims, is being paid time and half to waste our time and cause our insurance rates to rise. It is a low-risk, high-revenue earning activity that exploits the population.

The Calamity of Bush’s Conservatism

Conservatism as we once knew it is hopelessly corrupted. Conservatism has come to be identified with endless war, government expansion, violations of every human right and liberty. You can detect it at cocktail parties, where self-identified conservatives sneer at the very idea of liberty.

It is long past time for every right-thinking American to reject the term conservative as a self-description.

Who Killed the Constitution?

The question posed by the title of this book raises a further question, as the authors are well aware. If the Constitution is indeed dead, why does this matter? American conservatives have in past days been accused of “Constitution worship”: why should we care whether actions of the government conform to this particular legal document?

Regular Folks Who Hate War

What Kauffman has done here is more than merely sketch a history, though it is wonderful and detailed history. He has fashioned a new way to look at the makeup of the politics of war. I found it interesting that during the 1990s, it was the Republicans who emerged as the anti-nation-building party as the Democrats embraced their Wilsonian heritage. After 9-11, the roles switched yet again, and today the Republicans are guilty of trafficking in the worst forms of jingoism.

These myths are erroneous at best, sometimes based on half truths. The majority of them are just false. We will examine the most common ones and proceed to explain the reality behind these myths.
