  1. Alex Jones espouses principles of liberty and freedom, opposes big government and crony capitalism, and has some whacked out stuff to say about current events that is WAY ahead of the news, to the point that it just sounds crazy. Like the pedophile rings he was ranting about. Again, CRAZY. Next thing you know, you're reading about a thousand arrest warrants being served all across the country. So he's got some sources. He just comes out with some of it so far in advance of mainstream media. That said, I've seen more than a little info-wars stories/videos that were a little light on the facts and biased as hell. Selling a narrative more than being news. But that's OK. Other channels/networks do it as much or more than Alex. ALL news outlets are over the top in some way or another, or pushing an agenda, or protecting somebody with money from negative coverage, or something. And that's fine. It's human nature. But the pretense of objective news has gone out the window, which it should've done, the moment someone uttered the phrase "Farness Doctrine."

  2. My first big exposure to Alex Jones, he was ranting about child molestation rings and conspiracies in the highest circles. Crazy. Now, January, 2018, guess what?

  3. You should listen to everybody, do some research, decide who's level-headed. Yeah, Paul's one. For me, the big put-off is when someone agrees with me right down the line, and then goes on to say something about how only being saved through Jesus Christ (or submitting to Allah) is why they agree with me. LOL! I am kind of a Jesus freak, though. Reason and Love is what I take away from that cat. I don't need the immortality hook (which I disbelieve) to try to keep my head where Jesus would have his. I don't have to believe in a savior to put a literally perfect archetype to good use!

  4. I agree with him more than I disagree with him. I think you'll find, if you research the why's and wherefore's on the regressive left, you'll become another hopeless libertarian/classical liberal like Dave and I.

  5. The regressive left is the personification of the most basic form of proof in math: reductio absurdum arguments. They're to math proofs what puns are to humor: the lowest form. All beginning math students, first trying to learn how to prove or disprove a proposition are taught this "indirect method" of proof. To prove it's correct, you assume it is not, and follow the logic to a false statement. "Reduce to absurdity." Progressive ideology is based on faulty premises, so it inevitably leads to absurdities like vagina hats and masked vandals smashing windows, shouting ridiculous slogans.

  6. Layin' it down, like always, Paul.

  7. No. Not "seeped into the university space;" rather, is seeping OUT from the university space. Academe is what's been hijacked, and academe is seeking to hijack the rest of us. But it's running out of steam, now. Good stuff, Dave. Isn't it cool that once you figure out the principle of non-violence/non-force, that it becomes EASY to make rational judgements on political matters with little trouble. Any other system of logic is so fraught with epicycles, you have to be a genius to really understand everything. "No, lad. The Earth is a spinning globe revolving around the Sun, and that's why the planets and stars move in the sky as they do." Libertarians are actually stupid people, just trying to sort the world out.

  8. Oddly enough, "Harming none, do as you will" was the benediction at the end of every Wiccan gathering I ever attended (as a hippie in grad school).

  9. Exactly. #resistcapitalism shows absolute misunderstanding of history. Everything "bad" that Progressive history points to in our past was the OPPOSITE of free-market capitalism and limited government. EVERY time free markets get a chance to work, they DO. Only government intervention by power-grabbers has messed things up. There's now a deep schism in society between those who are still watching and forming their opinions from mainstream media, and those who are not. But the Internet may have tipped the scales in favor of freedom at just the right time.

  10. Parallels between U.S. and Iran: Antifa/anti-trump rallies are starting to draw more trumpsters than protesters. In ultra-liberal Oregon, police are routinely arresting roadblock protests. College presidents, who've been playing the game ONE way to protect their institutions from litigation-happy students and government mandates, are suddenly faced with dropping enrollments and smaller contributions from alumni. I think if you talked to an Iranian about what's going on in Iran, they'd say some of it was probably upset over prices, but more people in the street in SUPPORT of the theocracy. I'm still learning about how the Assembly of Experts are elected, but it sounds like when Khamenei passes, the people's voice can be heard for the next Ayatollah (is that the right term?), and it SOUNDS like this is the point in time where Iranian people get their periodic say on the direction the government will take, based on the choices of the "Experts." For a country their size, it's an interesting model of government. I definitely prefer my Madison and Jefferson, don't get me wrong. But one of the things to which "liberal democracy" is prone is a moral decay and general unhappiness. RELIGION gives a lot of people a sense of belonging to something bigger, more lasting. And they can live happier, more productive lives. Well, some of 'em, anyway. I think it's AN answer to the ceiling that Western society keeps bumping its head against. Once we've secured the dream, for the most part, we abandon it. We breed up the uneducated and the educated stop breeding! We are guaranteed an education, and then we make damn sure it's the worst fuckin' education possible. My knowledge of the classics was ABYSMAL from the public schools. I never HEARD of the contest of ideas between Euripedes and Aristotle, although I was educated enough to understand the significance and meaning, when I just picked it up on my own MANY years later (Yay Internet! Yay Tom Richey!). Heh. I was deeply influenced by Ayn Rand's "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," which I stole off my Dad in my college days. Recommended for everyone. John Galt was too boring. But the straight, to-the-point stuff was more up my line, in a brief paperback!
