Don't Stop Believin'
Fraters Libertas — ... is a nice touch. If Steve Perry's assessment of the Tea Party movement is correct, I see it catching on at future rallies. Maybe some call and response between the emcee and the audience: Where's Mussolini? Mussolini over here! Where's Luigi Freddi? Luigi Freddi over here! Where's Giuseppe Ungaretti? Giuseppe Ungaretti over here! Or, just maybe, Steve Perry is wrong again about the fascism of American conservatives. Noted expert in the study of fascism, Jonah Goldberg, had this to say about the F word being applied to the current protests about Obama led government over ...

Tax facts
protein wisdom — 103 days? Really? Really ? From Reason TV: Jonah Goldberg : According to that reason video I posted below, Americans work an average of 103 days a year just to pay their taxes. If you had to work 365 days a year to pay your taxes, that would be a kind of slavery or indentured servitude, because all of your productive labor would be going to the government. You would have no resources of your own to provide for the life you wanted. Instead the government would provide you not with what you want , but what the government decides you need. That sounds like a kind of tyranny to ...

An Ugly Unwanted Stray
Whiskey Fire — ... Jonah Goldberg defends tea-bagging from liberals. And comedy ensues, not least because Jonah for rather obvious reasons chooses to invent liberal reactions to the tea-bagging as opposed to looking stuff up. He cleverly avoids any accusations of straw-man argument, however, through the deft use of italics. Because if you stuff straw man argument into italics, it magically becomes not a load of straw-man shit, but purest home-shat gold. ...

HuffPo Offended By Tea Parties
RedState: Conservative News and Community — ... A frequent complaint by those on the left who would make pretense that the tea parties are insignificant is the whiny “where were you when Bush was in office?” As if to say the parties aren’t genuine, because they participants didn’t hold them at earlier points in time. Jonah Goldberg handily wipes out that pathetic line of reasoning here, but I still have a remaining question for the HuffPo. Where was their interest in offensive signage the last few years? ...

What Libertarianism Isn't
The New Editor — Jonah Goldberg: How do I say this so people will understand? Fascism isn't a libertarian doctrine! It just isn't, never will be, and it can't be cast as one. Anarchism, secessionism, extreme localism, or rampant individualism may be bad, evil, wrong, stupid, selfish, and all sorts of other things (though not by my lights). But they have nothing to do with a totalitarian vision of the state where individuals and institutions alike must march in step and take orders from the government. If you think shrinking government and getting it less ...
