British lord demands senators "honour the Constitution"
Wednesday, 20 December 2006 12:59 A GMT-06
It's a sad indicator of the sorry state of American politics in general and the U.S. Senate in particular that a British lord has to remind American senators that the U.S. Constitution protects freedom of speech, and that attempts by senators to ...
Williams on legalized theft
Wednesday, 29 November 2006 10:17 A GMT-06
If I were really conscientious, I'd link to every column, article, interview, or other commentary by Walter Williams as soon as it became available. He's a national treasure -- brilliant, insightful, principled, articulate. And funny. If you've ...
Carnival, falling cat, and white trash
Wednesday, 22 March 2006 3:38 P GMT-06
Forward Biased is hosting Carnival of Liberty #37, and it's huge. Check it out, there's something for everyone for sure. Obi-Wan organized the posts by topic, but the first topic, politics, contains so many entries that by the time I reached the ...
Carnival of Liberty #36
Wednesday, 15 March 2006 10:01 A GMT-06
This week's Carnival of Liberty is at The Unrepentant Individual. Brad Warbiany has done a terrific job introducing this week's entries, and there are quite a few interesting ones. Eminent domain and property rights are still popular subjects.
Carnival of Liberty #35
Tuesday, 7 March 2006 2:38 P GMT-06
So what liberty-related topics interest you? Property rights and land use? Free speech? Islamization of Europe? Subsidizing illegal immigrants? Subsidizing someone else? The threat of teachers' unions? Socialized medicine? Socialized environment...
Workplace speech, part deux
Friday, 3 March 2006 11:39 A GMT-06
In my post about Overland High's commie geography teacher Jay Bennish, I mentioned that some students rallied in support of Bennish and an ACLU attorney was suing on behalf of his First Amendment rights, and I wondered whether the students and lawyer

Carnival of Liberty #34
Tuesday, 28 February 2006 12:54 P GMT-06
Kentucky Dan has posted Carnival of Liberty #34 over at Committees of Correspondence. Looks like lots of interesting posts. If you have plenty of time on your hands, go read them all. Then tell me which ones you recommend for the person who needs ...
"Submit to havarti"
Friday, 24 February 2006 5:20 P GMT-06
On Tuesday, one of my favorite liberals, Christopher Hitchens, posted a brilliant and impassioned column entitled "Stand Up for Denmark!" at Slate.com. Needless to say, you should read the whole thing, but this gives you a sense: A small democratic
One year later, Kelo home still stands
Thursday, 23 February 2006 3:22 P GMT-06
One year ago yesterday, on Feb. 22, 2005, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Kelo v. City of New London. The intrepid libertarian litigators at the Institute for Justice eventually lost in court, but they've since won a resounding victory ...
Good stuff at Watcher's
Tuesday, 21 February 2006 6:16 P GMT-06
For some good reading, check out the latest voting results from the Watcher's Council (or the complete list of nominees). The winning council entry was Dymphna's extended dialog with Eteraz about "Islamophobia" and anti-Semitism, in which she ...
Essential liberty, temporary safety
Monday, 6 February 2006 2:40 P GMT-06
Over at Protein Wisdom, commenter Robert Crawford offered this great observation: Just a week ago, the left was arguing, in the most forceful way it knows—banners—the Ben Franklin quote about giving up liberty in exchange for freedom. Granted,...
Buy Danish!
Friday, 3 February 2006 2:57 P GMT-06
Matt Donegan is lucky that he only lost his job. If he'd made hate-filled, bigoted comments about Muslims instead of blacks and women, he might have been forced to go into hiding in fear of his life, like the Danish cartoonists who dared draw ...
Of carnivals and councils
Tuesday, 31 January 2006 1:07 P GMT-06
Mover Mike has posted Carnival of Liberty #30, so head on over there and start clicking links! Judging from the descriptions, there's a bunch of good reading there. And speaking of good reading, I've been remiss in not pointing to some other great...
Carnival of Liberty #29
Monday, 23 January 2006 11:22 P GMT-06
Welcome to the 29th Carnival of Liberty, a showcase of postings on the broad topic of individual liberty. I'm pleased to be hosting this week's carnival, and I believe we have some fine reading for your edification and enjoyment. We begin this ...
Too many laws
Thursday, 19 January 2006 12:03 P GMT-06
Last week, I noted in passing that the Colorado legislature is back in session. This is the time of year when most state legislatures reconvene, which makes it a sad and dangerous time for lovers of liberty. It could be worse -- some state ...
A new Carnival of Liberty
Wednesday, 18 January 2006 10:31 A GMT-06
Doug Mataconis at Below the Beltway is hosting Carnival of Liberty #28, and it looks like he did a great job and got some really interesting submissions. So go check it out. I'll be hosting next week's Carnival of Liberty, so don't forget to ...
King's legacy lives in strange places
Monday, 16 January 2006 5:04 P GMT-06
A bazillion people have remembered Martin Luther King, Jr., in almost as many different ways. Some recall his opposition to the Vietnam War and use this to bash Bush and the "warmongering Republicans." Others remember the "content of their character"
Go read
Wednesday, 4 January 2006 9:16 A GMT-06
Until I have something new for you to read (probably later today), why not check out the latest Carnival of Liberty (#27) at Kevin Boyd's revamped Louisiana Libertarian blog? It's leaner than most (I guess I'm not the only blogger who's been ...
Carnival of Liberty #25
Thursday, 22 December 2005 8:43 A GMT-06
I haven't been doing much blog-reading lately, and I've let another Carnival of Liberty appear without even noticing until now. Dan Melson is hosting, and he's introduced each entry with an appropriate quote. Check it out -- he's got some good ones.
The leak, the NSA, and the 4th Amendment
Tuesday, 20 December 2005 10:18 A GMT-06
I must confess that I always get a bit nervous when I hear the initialism "NSA," especially when accompanied by the words "domestic surveillance." So my initial reaction upon hearing about the NYTimes story, although milder ...
Iraqis make history
Thursday, 15 December 2005 2:30 P GMT-06
Today, Iraq became the first constitutional republic in the Arab world. Pay attention -- this is important: Today, Iraq became the first constitutional republic in the Arab world.
Lots of good reads
Wednesday, 30 November 2005 8:53 A GMT-06
Below the Beltway is hosting this week's Carnival of Liberty, and it looks like Doug has a great collection of posts. I wish I had time to read them all. Heck, I haven't even read last Friday's Watcher's Council vote-getters, and there are some ...
Pamphleteers and bloggers
Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:46 A GMT-06
Eric Cowperthwaite said that bloggers are today's pamphleteers, and I agree with his analogy to a point. But bloggers (in the aggregate) can do so much more than pamphleteers because of today's information and communication technology.
Carnival of Liberty #21
Tuesday, 22 November 2005 5:43 P GMT-06
The 21st installment of the Carnival of Liberty is up at Left Brain Female. This is Kay's first time hosting, and boy, did she do a great job! She got a ton of submissions, and she presented them with detailed, interesting introductions and lots ...
Carnival of Liberty #20
Tuesday, 15 November 2005 9:38 A GMT-06
The 20th Carnival of Liberty is up at Eric's Grumbles. Eric wrote a nice introductory piece looking back 20 weeks and expressing cautious optimism about the future of liberty. That resonated with me -- I tend to be cautiously optimistic, too.
