Today, I thought I'd include a few useful links I've read recently to help understand why it's important that none of the current front-runners from either party actually get elected next November. As this election goes along, we'll soon learn that, with a very few exceptions, the late George Wallace was right: there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
One is this article by Peter Gemma of Middle American News, in an interview with Paul Gottfried, one of the brightest lights of what still passes for conservative thought and scholarship --- and not the Fox News-Rudy-National Review-Weekly Standard version. This is a primer on the distinction of conservatives and the neocons. While I'd recommend Gottfried's book in a heartbeat, here is more in the same vein by Justin Raimondo of antiwar.com. Remember, you can't tell the players without a scorecard.
Speaking of which, here is MSNBC's Tucker Carlson's recent take on trolling Vegas with Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Carlson performs a valuable service by helping explain why we need more Ron Pauls in Congress and fewer of everyone else.
Finally, I found this Paul Craig Roberts column fairly amusing. The police are increasingly out of control in this country, which I can't understand because we've got more people behind bars in America than any country on earth, and cannot afford the ones we already imprison, as California bears witness to.
Enjoy
