All I can say is… hehehe.
Read the testimonials… hilarious.
Why are the Liberal Democrats not called the Illiberal Democrats if they are not liberals either? Maybe they should be called the Lino party, as in liberal in name only.

 The cognitive dissonance you speak of is found on the right as well, it is not confined to the left. Actually, the problem is, there is no dissonance, there is an honest and fair dinkum doublethink, with no internal conflict. – CountingCats, commenting here.

Those in power in the Capitol – as well as many local politicians – make skillful use of those who rely on government services to advance their spending agenda. They use children, the disabled, the elderly and others who appear vulnerable to justify increasing taxes. When reasonable arguments are made that higher taxes in an already high-tax state could lead to fiscal ruin and less for everyone, politicians and bureaucrats use these dependent classes as human shields.

Britain is to cut the speed limit from 60 mph to 50 mph on most roads to ‘save lives’. Does anyone seriously believe this is not in fact to raise more revenue from speeding tickets? The solution is obvious. Break the law and smash the cameras. And when they replace them, smash them again. And again. And again. And again. We are way way way past the point where words are enough. If you actually expect to make a difference, you better get used to the idea that this sort of ‘direct action’ is the only thing that will make any impact at all on the powers-that-be. Don’t believe me? Well do you think radical muslims in the UK and elsewhere could have eroded deeply entrenched ‘givens’ on free speech if their objections to any public criticism of their religion were not backed with explicit or implicit threats of actually real world violence? No, I do not like it either but that is where we now find ourselves, so get use to it. Be willing to pick up that brick and actually throw it or you are irrelevent. Push has come to shove.

There are no jack boots here, that’s too obvious, perhaps at some later point more overt force if there is too much “selfish” foot dragging by you or me, though the powers and aggression of the government’s already-existing “force” is sufficiently threatening to anyone who might resist. Make no mistake about that. The speech (2/24) by Obama was a seemingly soft yet determined Declaration of War against free exchange, against the natural and beneficial chaos of the myriad of human transactions (spiritual and economic – which cannot be rationally or logically separated by the way!). He is simply doing that which popular mainstream philosophy and pop culture point to and in effect “authorize.” – ‘Mister Integrity‘ February 25th, 2009 | 7 comments - (Comments are closed)
Look, I don’t blame Michael Phelps for apologizing. He has a living to earn, so he did what he had to do. In the meantime, I merely note that this broken wreck of a man’s failure to win any more than a pathetic fourteen Olympic gold medals (so far) is a terrifying warning of the horrific damage that cannabis can do to someone’s health – and a powerful reminder of just how sensible the drug laws really are. – Andrew Stuttaford, referring to this.

In the mind of the anti-free-marketeer, the government occupies the same kind of intellectual territory as the divine designer in the mind of an anti-Darwinian. January 20th, 2009 | 39 comments - (Comments are closed)
Quite possibly the greatest video ever… … the pure essence of speaking truth to power. This video has no sell-by date. a tip of the kevlar battle-bowler to Clark Carter January 12th, 2009 | 26 comments - (Comments are closed)
But what’s not open for debate, after tonight, is the sheer futility of trying to build a coalition from the center out. Because the center won’t stand still for any candidate. – Dan McLaughlin, as pointed out by commenter Andrew X. November 5th, 2008 | 8 comments - (Comments are closed)
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour. – Commenter Counting Cats November 3rd, 2008 | 22 comments - (Comments are closed)
I’m at the point I was at a month ago: the two tickets consist one one old guy who frankly should have been put to pasture, two leftist asshats who belong in prison, and a lady who’s the only one of the four who’s worth a damn – Commenter Sunfish.
