Brilliant New Rental Car Business Model

Posted on June 19, 2013 by John Odermatt Posted in Markets & Regulation Leave a comment

Next time you fly, instead of parking in an airport lot and paying at least $10/day, would you like the option of free parking, a free car wash, and the possibility of getting paid $10/day? Well, if you live in the San Francisco or Boston area, now you have that opportunity. Three teenagers decided to put their college educations on hold in favor of starting a business that could revolutionize the rental car business. Rajul Zaparde, Shri Graneshram, and Kevin Petrovic

Ron Paul Agrees – NSA Figures “Fudged”

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Brian McWilliams Posted in Police State Leave a comment

To follow up yesterday’s post about my being very skeptical about the NSA foiling 50+ terror plots based upon their unwarranted spying on the American people, here is Ron Paul himself echoing my thoughts: “I don’t really believe that because I think they fudged the figures. Of those 50 plots that they stopped, I think 40 were minor plots overseas, for all we know. So they stretched the point. And even these hearings today were a bit of a sham…because

The Real Point of Russell Brand’s “Morning Joe” Rant

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Marc Clair Posted in Current Events 2 Comments

“This is a hotbed of neurosis and psychosis!” - Russell Brand Yesterday we were all treated to a viral video of Russell Brand getting a wee bit ranty on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”. After feeling slighted by the attitude of host Mika Brzezinksi – daughter of world-shaping neocon Zbigniew Brzezinski (I wonder how she got that MSNBC gig???) – Brand decided to take control of the interview and openly mock the Mainstream Talking Heads surrounding him on all sides. It’s a must-see,

NSA Claims 50 Terrorist Plots Thwarted…Consider Me Skeptical

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Brian McWilliams Posted in Police State, The Constitution 3 Comments

The NSA is effectively on trial today, answering to its crimes (I don’t care that they are technically legal due to the ruling of a secret Foreign Intelligence Court), with National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander testifying before the House Intelligence Committee. The General has stated that the spying programs going on without the knowledge or consent of America’s millions of citizens have led to more than 50 thwarted terrorist plots. Intelligence officials said Tuesday that the government’s sweeping

TSA Tuesdays: Shaming a 15 Year Old Girl

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Marc Clair Posted in Current Events, Police State 1 Comment

With the number of absurd TSA stories that come through my inbox and social media feeds, I could probably make this a daily feature. But for now, while sticking to a weekly Tuesday column, I’ve got to be a little more picky on exactly which TSA abuse I point out. This week, we’ll take a look at the story of a 15 year old girl harassed by a TSA agent over her outfit. Mark Frauenfelder writes over at BoingBoing.com: This

Biden Slams Obama on NSA Spying!

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Marc Clair Posted in Police State, Politics Leave a comment

Well, not 2013 Joe Biden. No need to worry about him standing up for civil liberties. But then Senator and future Presidential candidate Joe Biden stood up for civil liberties back in 2006 and spoke out against the type of spying that has been confirmed to be going on at the NSA by the leaks of whistleblower Edward Snowden. Thanks to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for putting this video together of the 2006 Joe Biden countering every talking point of

Mondays with Murray: Who Was the “Best” U.S. President?

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Marc Clair Posted in History, Philosophy of Liberty Leave a comment

In mainstream discussions of who the “best” U.S. Presidents have been, we usually hear the same few names over and over. The names “Lincoln” and “Roosevelt” are often found towards the top of the list. Typically those Presidents seen as having been the “best” are those who have served to expand the role of government the most, and those two certainly fit the bill. Libertarians who view government as Murray Rothbard did – as a “gang of thieves writ large”

The Bird of Prey Has Us Trapped

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Chris Rossini Posted in Taxation 1 Comment

So the neocons have finally received their wish. It looks like the U.S. will be sending weapons to Syrian rebels with ties to Al Qaeda. Obama rewarding the warmongers, however, makes the other wing of the vicious bird of prey jealous: They have us trapped! What a sad state of affairs that we must break our backs at work everyday, and our earnings either go towards funneling weapons to Al Qaeda affiliated Syrian rebels, or are to be shoveled to

Did Hitler Have Term Limits?

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Marc Clair Posted in Current Events Leave a comment

We’ve been hearing for years about how Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the “next Hitler”, in conjunction with the push by the bi-partisan War Party to preemptively attack Iran. We have been told that, much like with the last next Hitler in Saddam Hussein, we would need to act preemptively before Ahmadinejad actually becomes the next Hitler, killing all the Jews, kittens and rainbows in the world along the way. Apparently the neocons making these claims didn’t examine the Iranian political system very
