Off topic, but I thought it was worth sharing: the Evangelical Immigration Table, a group of conservative Evangelical Christians that supports amnesty for illegal immigrants, is being funded by arch-Marxist George Soros.
So it looks like “Everybody has a price” is true, after all.
oh my….now that’s a provocative question, Richard Bell….

Frankly, I’m starting to wonder if the American political process is basically a more cerebral version of pro-wrestling: two opponents fighting a pre-determined battle for the distraction of the ignorant. Meanwhile, those in the know enjoy unparalleled access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the spectacle, where even bitter enemies get along swimmingly. And then there are those who know it’s all a set-up, but they go along with the narrative for some other reason: they appreciate the stagecraft, they have an attachment to a specific wrestler, etc.
Another thing that has been bugging me is the War on Terror. What have we accomplished? I know we say “to protect ourselves” and “to spread liberty,” but I can’t shake this suspicion that those were “official” stories. If we were attempting to get justice for American deaths, why did we stick around and set up governments, which conveniently elected leaders who seemed to be pro-American. Andrew Napolitano lost his show on Fox after he started questioning the war. And then there’s the revelation from Gen. Wesley Clark that it was decided that Iraq would be invaded 10 days after 9/11, long before they were suspected of a link to al-Qaeda. And Iraq was only one of seven countries that were to be invaded as part of a five year campaign, including Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
If that’s true, it sounds to me like we were intending to use military invasions to install regimes friendly to the US. We tried- and failed- in Iraq, and failed miserably in Libya. And we were only stopped from getting involved in Syria because the American people and military personnel had no stomach for yet another Middle Eastern war, and because Putin stepped in while we were busy arguing.
The thought that we spilled gallons of American blood and wasted millions of dollars of wealth to play the “democratic” version of the Soviet Union’s “invade and puppet” game leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I have felt that way for some time, Sean. That’s what led me to embrace “Let it burn.”

There isn’t any natural gas or oil exploration up in New Hampshire, is there? I’ve been toying with the thought of moving up there as part of the Free State Project once I’m out of school. The thought of living with people who share my desire to say, “Get out of my life, government!” is pretty cool, and ties into some stuff I’ve been reading about living with like-minded people you can rely on if there’s a breakdown in public order.

“Progressives” are so easy to mock…we really need to do A LOT MORE of it. My latest: http://www.zazzle.com/you_cant_spell_progressive-128437653225103841
Sean, is it everybody has a price or every conservative org has been infiltrated by the left?

Go for it, Sean. I’ll help you pack.
Consider Texas, Sean. I am.

I’ll keep that in mind, Peter. π
Is there room for a right-wing libertarian in that hug, Peter? π
You betcha, Sean! And the first round of Lone Star beer is on me! π

Peter H.
@16… Beer? Did someone say “beer”? Does that offer apply to old guys too? haha
Define “old.” If you are younger than the State of Israel, then you are not old! π
