Progressive: “Ron Paul Will Return Us to the Dark Ages!”
I was reading this article on Raw Story about how the Occupy people did their stupid “mic check” thing to Ron Paul, the guy who’s more anti-bailout than they are. I couldn’t help glancing at the comments, and I saw the usual we’d-be-dead-without-Joe-Biden line. A commenter listed… Read More
My Appeal to GOP Primary Voters
Revolution PAC is sponsoring a SuperVoter Bomb, sending out literature packets to up to 200,000 “super voters” (people who voted in both the 2008 and 2010 Republican primaries) in Iowa and New Hampshire. The packets include the now-legendary Ron Paul Super Brochure and a copy… Read More

He notes that practically no one wrote to… Read More
The Bipartisan Path to Where We Are Now
Doing some work on a project the other day, I noticed that Geoffrey Perret’s very good book — Commander in Chief: How Truman, Johnson, and Bush Turned a Presidential Power into a Threat to America’s Future — is on sale in hardcover for a paltry $4.66, down from $27.00 at its release in 2007. From my review for The American Conservative, where I’m a… Read More
