Quick Thoughts on Paul’s Endorsement

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Earlier this week, Ron Paul endorsed Constitution Party nominee Chuck Baldwin for president. Great news for Baldwin, of course, and terrible news for Bob Barr. But there are several implications that might not be immediately obvious; to wit:
1.) The “paleo” coalition lives. From the late ’80s until the mid-’90s, there was a great deal [...]

Ron Paul’s Party

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Up now at TAC, my article on Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic — and what the Revolution might look forward to in 2012.

Gary Johnson at the Rally for the Republic

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I met Johnson briefly while in Minneapolis for the Rally for the Republic and was impressed by what an unassuming pol he is. I occasionally criticized him back when he was governor of New Mexico, figuring he couldn’t be as libertarian as he seemed. And indeed, he’s not perfect (who is?), but he’s pretty darn [...]

Minneapolis

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

I’m in town for the various Ron Paul events leading up to the great Rally for the Republic on Tuesday.  I’ll be blogging a bit (most @TAC) about the public events.  And I have some Willmoore Kendall stuff I might post here later tonight.  For now, though, just a quick, content-free post while I check [...]

Naomi Wolf at the Ron Paul Revolution Rally

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

I’ve blogged some of my general impressions of the rally, which was yesterday, here. I heard a 6,000-attendee estimate from a couple of sources, though Kelley Vlahos may be right in thinking it was fewer. (I don’t really know what 6,000 or 2,500 people would look like.) In any case, it was a great [...]

The WSJ on Kent Snyder

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

A rather good remembrance of Kent Snyder, campaign chairman of Ron Paul 2008, in the Wall Street Journal. Scroll down below the Jeese Helms obit.
The widget in my post below isn’t working properly: it will take you to the donation page for Kent’s medical fund without any problem, but the counter isn’t updating the total. [...]

In Memory of Kent Snyder

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

There are two good causes relating to Kent Snyder that need your support. First, Kent was very ill for over two months, and his family has significant medical bills. You can help his family pay off these expenses by donating directly using the widget below or visiting the Kent Synder medical fund website that [...]

Hail and Farewell

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I’m at a loss for words about the death of Kent Snyder late last week, which I heard about just yesterday. Kent was the campaign chairman of the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign Committee and had been involved with Dr. Paul since his 1988 Libertarian Party run. Kent was a spirit of tranquility on the campaign [...]

Expanded Blogging

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Answering the call of a good cause, I’ll be blogging a bit for Ron Paul’s new organization, the Campaign for Liberty, on top of my @TAC stuff and ye olde Tory Anarchist.

A Ron Paul Democrat in South Carolina

Monday, June 16th, 2008

This story has come out of the blue: Bob Conley, a South Carolina Democrat who voted for Ron Paul in the state’s Republican primary — he quit the GOP over Iraq, immigration, and trade — won the Democratic Senate nomination. (Although his margin was so slim that it’s gone to a recount.) The first thing [...]
