John McCain is No Barry Goldwater
2008-05-28 20:26:00 Yesterday I noted the analogies between the race between Obama and McCain and the fictional race on The West Wing between Santos and Arnold Vinick. While there are some similarities such as having a young charismatic Democrat taking on an older, more experienced and somewhat maverick Republican, there are also important differences. John McCain does ...

2008-03-08 05:54:00 George McGovern has an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal warning that “Under the guise of protecting us from ourselves, the right and the left are becoming ever more aggressive in regulating behavior.

2007-12-14 18:19:00 In some ways I am really happy to see the rise of Huckabee in the Republican race as this is causing many conservatives to question the direction the party has moved. In the past Republicans such as Ronald Reagan have used the religious right to get votes but have typically only thrown them a few ...

2007-11-27 01:42:00 Patrick Ruffini writes that Ron Paul has won, even if there is no chance he can win the Republican nomination: In the past few months, Ron Paul has dramatically raised the profile of libertarianism inside the Republican Party.

Bush is Number One Most Disliked President

Has Social Conservatism Destroyed the Conservative Movement?
2007-08-30 00:12:00 Today, the editor of Reason magazine, Nick Gillespie, wrote in the L.A. Times an interesting editorial. He argues that after numerous moral scandals from supposed social conservatives, the Republicans and Conservatives themselves are losing the Culture war because of hypocrisy. While they push family and moral values in the public arena, many of them do not live up to their own standards, thereby losing trust among the people. Consequently, he argues that Conservatives and Republicans should divert to the principles of limited government preached so adamantly by Barry Goldwater; I could not agree more.?To Goldwater, the state was inefficient at best and predicated on violence and coercion at worst. As much as possible, he argued, individuals should be left alone to pursue their happiness as they saw fit, whether in the workplace or the home.? (source) It is important to recognize that Government on its face is simply inefficient at promoting moral values for society. While Gove...
