Of late, I have felt used by the Republican party, who put on small-government clothes to entice libertarians like me but who have generally abandoned all spending restraint now that they are in the majority.

Warren Warren Warren.  You've only felt this of late?  Everytime they turn around the Republicans seem to be imposing MORE government.  Even the Big Brother Patriot Act was more goverment in the guise of Homeland Security.  Do you remember the "Pact with America" that Newt made such a big deal of?  After the freshmen legislastors realized what a windfall they'd come into the Pact just sort of faded out of site.  Government always wants more government no matter how benevolent the initial intentions.  Individual liberty is becoming a myth in this country.  I think we libertarians are more fighting a holding action than actually making progress.

It's okay to be an racist if you're a liberal

The groups also are planning to protest the protesters of illegal immigration by forming a human chain across the border and by warning border crossers of the project's presence.

I kind of like this idea.  They going to protest the Minuteman protest by doing what the Minutemen want.  Cool.  Wonder how they going to feel about guns the first time a coyote shoots at them.  Or maybe MS-13 will start shooting at the wrong group.  Gets pretty sad when you're called a racist for supporting the countries laws by being lawful

The Left doesn't trust the Government. Unless the Right doesn't.

Seems to me the left can't make up their mind.  They're perfectly willing to question our government but then raise a fuss when someone on the right does the same thing.  The Minuteman Project is a volunteer effort to maintain the integrity of our southern border because the border patrol hasn't been up to the job.  Isn't that the left has been saying?  The government can't do it's job?  So what's the fuss with the Minutemen?  IT'S THE SAME THING!  Oh wait...  The Minutemen feel that guns are a constitutional right.  God knows where they get that from.

The Gun Guy - The Gun Thing

Sometime ago I passed by The Gun Guy's blog and saw something that bothered me.  A demeaning reference to Iraqi's.  So I never went back until today when I linked to him from Instapundit.  This time I read a bit more.  And found him articulate and intelligent.  Perhaps before I caught him at a bad moment.  Or perhaps this time he wasn't using derogatory terms.  I think I'll keep reading him and if I see something I disapprove of I'll just drop him a note and discuss it.  For now he's definitely on my bloglist.

Are YOU a Traitor??

Link: lgf: We Support Our Troops = We Want Them Killed.

If don't like the war in Iraq that's fine.  If you want to actively protest against the ware that's fine.  If you support the people that we are fighting.  Then you ARE a TRAITOR.  No if's, and's, or but's you are committing TREASON.

There's the definition.  I'm pretty sure it gets the death penalty.  I'd be happy to personally administer it.

This is another case of government spending money for something that should've been done by private industry.  Mainly because private industry wouldn't have bothered spending money on something with no ROI.

Like WTF I'm going right for the trackback.  I figure someone while find me down here somewhere.  I think that Jeff Jarvis is somewhere close in his numbers.  Which is somewhat beside the point.  I think that calling the blogosphere non-diverse as http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7160264/site/newsweek/ does here is purely speaking out of your ass.  Especially after noting attendance at a single conference.  I'm certain that no one can come up with any number to either support or deny that. 

I also have to disagree with WTF's reference to the downslide of USEnet in regards to blogging.  No matter how many people blog nor how stupid they may be can adversely affect the quality of the good bloggers.  Bad bloggers just aren't going to be read.  Bad bloggers aren't going to get the links.  I thinking that blogging may actually let the cream rise to the top.

Jeff publicly thanks me. :)

Check out this link on BuzzMachine which I sent to Jeff for which he thanked ME publicly.  How cool is that?

"Don't believe a word of the U.S. version," said Oliviero Diliberto, secretary of the Italian Communist Party. "There's an attempt to mask what actually happened. The Americans deliberately fired on the Italians." (Link)

Ok here's the deal.  If the US was intent on killing Giuliana Sgrena then explain to me why she's still walking around to tell the story.

Update:  This post at Baldilocks seems to support my theory.  She's not dead?  It was an accident.

Update: And still more at The Jawa Report.  Much much more.  And still it seems people are thinking what I am.  Giuliana Sgrena is a biased, lying, commie bitch.

Quick, name a Ted that isn't an idiot

Ace of Spades has a good write-up on Sen. Ted "blindfolds for everyone" Stevens.  I always thought the furor over Janet Jackson's breast was way overdone, but when it leads some idiot to start government control over something we've ordered and paid for I think it's getting way out of hand.

HIT THE FUCKING OFF BUTTON PEOPLE!!!!

Update:  I almost edited my vulgarity above and realized that if you're offended by it you're not going to listen to me anyway. :)

Also:  Jeff Jarvis has some comments and links this morning.
