His “war on terror”, based on lies and prevarications, has resulted in the deaths of untold numbers of people – both Americans and [...]

Bush lies. Again.

Bush continues to ignore the latest report about Iran’s nuclear program, claiming Iran is a serious nuclear threat, while simultaneously taking credit for the end of Iran’s nuclear program. Huh? Is it just me, or does that not make any sense at all? The Bush administration has spent years warning that Iran’s development of nuclear [...]

Contra Bob Milnes

Long shot candidate for the LP and Green nominations, Robert Milnes, advocates a strategy of a left-libertarian alliance. All good as far as that goes. But then he gets into the weird stuff, like claiming that Teddy Roosevelt was a left libertarian (!) and promoting something he calls “positive eugenics”. Mighty Casey is not down [...]
