Three Events of 1973 Which Define Our World Today

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1811, 4th February, 2012
1. Roe v. Wade. The legalization of abortion was a severe overreach which lead to the rise of the religious right, and hastened the demographic trend through which higher conservative fertility rates result in the stepwise elimination of liberals from political power. The process is ongoing. Partially as a result of it, the US is [...]

Why they hate us.

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1828, 9th October, 2011
They don’t hate us for our freedoms. They hate us ’cause we keep ****ing around in everyone else’s politics. — Some guy I overheard at the OSU library. I’m no pacifist. If someone wants to kill innocent Americans, I hope we kill them first. I understand that sometimes violence is necessary, and I would never [...]

Republican debate, 3: Ron Paul’s use of reasoning vs. Rick Perry’s attempt at physical intimidation

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1913, 8th September, 2011
(All quotes from here.) Because Ron Paul has been almost painfully consistent in his support of the Constitution and liberty, one of the things that he is best at is showing his fellow Republicans for what they are: inconsistent people who flit back and forth between promoting liberty and promoting big government, shamelessly, and with [...]

Why Libertarianism Needs the Religious Right

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1910, 7th September, 2011
This is an unusual debate for me. I’m used to debating pinkos and commies and right-wingers and suchlike — and I’m sure Gary [North] has had similar experience — where here, Gary and I agree on 99.8% of everything and I’m not sure what the other 0.2% is except this one issue. – Walter Block, [...]

Obama is Bush at double strength

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1637, 25th August, 2011
Someone finally wrote the article I’ve been waiting for someone to read: On War, Obama Has Been Worse Than Bush. As Anthony Gregory explains, Obama the anti-war candidate disappeared the moment he stepped into office, and he has since pursued a foreign policy exactly like that of Bush, except much more so.

is this ron paul’s shot at president?

By mitchell b powell | Published: 2201, 5th May, 2011
Ron Paul, not long ago, announced that he was in the running for President of the United States. Oddly enough, a recent CNN poll indicates that of all the Republican candidates, Ron Paul is closest to beating Obama. Now, things might be too early to call, but if this statistic turns out to be more [...]

Three Options for a Self-Consistent Political Order

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1158, 6th April, 2011
It is well known here that I lean libertarian on just about everything [1], and this is largely due to my opposition to institutionalized theft, unjust violence, unjust coercion, mob rule, arrogance, short-term thinking, greed, and the minding of the business of others. But I am, as always reviewing the various political beliefs one might [...]

i am tired

By mitchell b powell | Published: 0138, 1st April, 2011
I have not blogged about the war in Libya yet because I am tired of trying to educate myself on the ins and outs of all the conflicts we decide to kill people in overseas. I am tired of the same old justifications rehashed over and over. I am tired of the constant illegal military [...]
