Jim Cardoza: Ron Paul & The 100 MPH Train
LibertyPen's endorsement of Ron Paul. GOP leaders prefer Mitt Romney to be their party's nominee. They see him as the most electable, in part because he is the most moderate.

Thank God the sleigh doesn't have to have a catalytic ... MOREBarry Farber: Occupiers Are Not Heroes, Just Marxists
Mice striving to be rats. How dare Time magazine link real freedom fighters of the Middle East with the sorry bunch of American "protesters" who shared Time's Person-of-the-Year honors? Whatever happened to the Time magazine that emblazoned its cover in 1956 with the genuinely heroic anti-Communist Hungarian freedom fighters? Protesters in Syria daily... MORENew Ideas Or Fidelity To Old Principles?
by Andrew Napolitano. If you've been watching cable television regularly, you've heard from many analysts who know Newt Gingrich personally.
