The American Conservative » In Praise of Robber Barons

Thomas Woods: It is government, with its subsidies, special privileges, and restrictions on competition, not to mention the looting of the public and rewarding of privileged interests that go on within the military-industrial complex, that promote monopolys properly understood and grants truly unfair advantages to some at the expense of everyone else.

The US Embargo of Cuba Is a Failure | Daniel Griswold | Cato Institute: Commentary

I agree with Daniel Griswold. Obama should lift the embargo. Allowing more travel and farm exports to Cuba will be good for democracy and the economy.

Federal Prosecutors Buckle on Abusive Subpoena in Kahre Case by Jacob G. Hornberger

Jacob Hornberger writes, "It’s clear to me that the prosecutor’s actions are nothing more than an attempt to intimidate people into silence, especially with respect to criticism of a prosecution of a man who has committed the cardinal sin of bringing much-needed light to the economic and monetary damage that the Federal Reserve and the IRS have done to the American people."

Interventionism Comes with Empire by Jacob G. Hornberger

Jacob Hornberger writes:

What should the U.S. government do with respect to the current situation in Iran? The same thing it should do with respect to the internal situation of every other country in the world: Butt out and stay out. In that way, whichever side prevails there is no anger or animosity within the losing side against the United States.

What should the American people do? Dismantle the U.S. Empire and restore a limited-government republic to our land, prohibit the U.S. government from interfering with the affairs of other nations, and liberate the American people — the private sector — to interact and trade with the people of the world.

Pull Out of Korea (and Everywhere Else) by Jacob G. Hornberger

Jacob Hornberger writes, "It’s best to treat the North Korean regime as a scuba diver treats strange and bizarre creatures in the sea — by simply leaving it alone. Unfortunately, that’s not what the U.S. Empire doing. Instead it’s instead poking and provoking the North Korean regime, increasing the possibility of a miscalculation whose consequences would be disastrous for America."

Civil Liberties and the Winds of ‘Change’ by Justin Raimondo -- Antiwar.com

Justin Raimondo writes, "Civil liberties are the first items to be thrown overboard when the ship of state starts listing... One universal principle always obtains: the guys in charge want to silence the opposition... Progressives are trying to link mainstream conservatives with the nuts that cheered the murder of Dr. Tiller and that museum guard."
