I would like to fast forward to age 65 for a few weeks. I am retired and spend my time making abstract paintings. Younger relatives bring me treats and listen to my long winded stories.

The Cost of Erasing Dissent
by Hillary Procknow on Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 9:13am ·

On Thursday, August 9, I took my two children, ages 4 and 7, to an Occupy Austin event called “Chalkupy the World.”  Many other cities around the country, and even abroad, participated in this event.  I’ve been to a few Occupy events, support the methods and messages of Occupy, and am somewhat active in one of the Occupy groups that does work dealing with the local school district.  The Chalkupy event was supposed to be a gathering of people using sidewalk chalk to express, well, anything really, but mostly dissent or disenchantment with the way things in our country have evolved to either favor the ultra-wealthy or punish the poor, middleclass,  marginalized, or otherwise “different” people.
 
I anticipated that this was going to be a small event, and one that would allowme to show my s... more »

Connor Kilpatrick: It’s Hip! It’s Cool! It’s Libertarianism!

By Connor Kilpatrick, the managing editor of Jacobin magazine. Cross posted with The eXiled



Calling yourself a libertarian today is a lot like wearing a mullet back in the nineteen eighties. It sends a clear signal: business up front, party in the back.

You know, those guys who call themselves “socially liberal but fiscally conservative”? Yeah. It’s for them.

Today, the ruling class knows that they’ve lost the culture wars. And unlike with our parents, they can’t count on weeping eagles and the stars ‘n bars to get us to fall in line. So libertarianism is their last ditch effort to ensure a succession to the throne.

Republicans freak you out but think the Democrats are wimps? You must be a libertarian! Want to sound smart and thoughtful in front of your bosswithout alienatin... more »

This is crazy. I've now been contacted by a second major published journalist this summer on my research. That will make three book credits for the year. I really didn't think I advanced historical knowledge all that much.

Questions, questions. So many questions about Paul. And the extreme defensiveness and lack of self-criticism of his fans should raise alarm bells.

Hey, since there's a lot of activity on my stream today - perhaps it's time to promote my most recent article.

Here's how the Guardian is posting today's Ron Paul news.

I'm sure RP fans have conflicting accounts, but be warned:

If you're a Paul fan and want to weigh in here, the price of admission to this thread is demonstrating you have a shred of knowledge of the US history behind Paul's claims.

Not one of you I've talked to has been able to do this. Not one.

When asked to provide interpretations about the Constitution beyond the eighteenth century, the Ron Paul fan will whine like a petulant child.

These are the worst offenders when it comes to talking at people about the Constitution - and they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

They refuse to demonstrate any actual knowledge - as they think vague, poorly-worded platitudes count. The ones with a spark of cognitive ability might post a von Mises, Hayek, or Rothbard quote out of context, if you're lucky.

Message to Ron Paul fans: You're pathetic. You advocate screwing over poor people and you have nothing to back up your cruel and callous claims.

People that yell the loudest often know the least.

What, are you going to post another fan video? Here's the Ron Paul fan video I want to see. I want one of you know-it-alls... more »

This is, well, pathetic. You have Romney supporters telling Paul supporters to be less racist. Wow.

"Some attendees said they heard Paul supporters chanting outside that Mitt Romney is 'the white Obama.' State party chairman Tom Morrissey begged for everyone to stay respectful."
