Liberty Rant: “Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.” – Thomas Sowell
(Matt Agorist) Imagine that your 2 year old son has just been stung by a scorpion. He begins to react to the venom, seething in agony and vomiting.
Your first instinct would be to get him to a hospital as soon as possible. Knowing that every minute counts you do not have the time to wait for an ambulance to get you there, you drive yourself.
My Commentary: Tinfoil-Hat-Wearing Nut-Job Spreads His Dangerous, Delusional, Extremist, Traitorous, Anti-American, Anti-Government Conspiracy Theories, Overseas … Pathetic!
This is exactly why we need the government to register and license all published speech, like the brilliant Californian Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein suggested!
Just remember: even in their infinite wisdom, the Founders still only had mechanical, paper-fed printing presses in their day! And, when they bestowed us lowly serfs with the amazing gifts of free speech and free press, they never could have imagined inventions like DIGITAL MEDIA, the INTERNET, and RADIO!!! Therefore, if the honest and honorable representatives of America’s government truly want to continue the great work that the Founders started, they must finally legislate some common-sense limits into our antiquated system of laws, so that the lunatic fringes of our society can no longer cower behind our obviously obsolete Bill of Rights, while they wreak havoc on the rest of us sane people with impunity! It’s time to give them a taste of PROGRESS!

(Andrew Higgins) Surveying the wreckage of a neighbor’s bungalow hit by a Palestinian rocket, retired Israeli official Avner Cohen traces the missile’s trajectory back to an “enormous, stupid mistake” made 30 years ago.
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” says Mr. Cohen, a Tunisian-born Jew who worked in Gaza for more than two decades. Responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel’s destruction.

“The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal. If you use the State as a metric for ethics, you’re going to have a bad time”
