America’s Founders were very explicit on how our relationships with foreign nations should be conducted. George Washington: “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…” Thomas Jefferson: “peace, commerce, and...
It took much too long, but it appears that the tide of public opinion has finally turned. The term "trust the science" has suddenly lost its luster, especially when it comes from the mouth of a politician or so-called "expert." The meanings of the words "science" and...
When the ideas of Liberty dominate - humanity flourishes.When the ideas of tyranny and authoritarianism dominate - humanity suffers.Back and forth the pendulum seems to swing. From light to dark; and then dark to light.We live in dark times.Many people now look back...
While reading this week's Ron Paul Institute email newsletter, published by my colleague Daniel McAdams, I was struck by a quote that I've certainly read before, but it's just so relevant when reading it again today: “We know they are lying, they know they are lying,...
We all know how Hollywood and the crony media likes to portray the US military. It's almost always presented as this well-oiled machine, good looking people, white teeth, well-spoken, the whole nine yards. Hardly will you see how trillions of taxpayers dollars go up...
A few years ago, New York Times columnist David Brooks wanted the U.S. government to wave its magic wand and turn the Syrian civil war into a Vietnam for Iran: We should be trying to turn the Syrian civil war into Iran’s Vietnam. We should make them waste money and...
The Iran Deal has thrown neocons into a frenzy. Mark Kirk says: “This agreement condemns the next generation to cleaning up a nuclear war in the Persian Gulf. Tens of thousands of people in the Middle East are gonna lose their lives because of this decision by Barack...

One would have hoped that after Ron Paul schooled Rudy Giuliani on the concept of “blowback” in front of a national audience, US politicians would have paid attention. Sadly, it was back to foreign interventionism as usual. Once again, it appears that the latest...
MotherJones may not be a bastion for the ideas of freedom, but it sure does knock one out of the park with this map. Here’s a view of all the nations neocon Senator John McCain has called the U.S. government to attack:
Michele Bachmann throws the blanket over all Muslims saying: Yes, Mr. President, it is about Islam! And I believe if you have an evil of an order of this magnitude, you take it seriously. You declare war on it, you don’t dance around it. Just like the Islamic State...
Joe Lieberman finds no reason to keep up the facade of the backdoor-to-war with Syria. He flat out said on Face The Nation Sunday: “We should attack Assad and fight ISIS.” The neocons, who were rebuked by the American public when Obama initially wanted to attack...
Max Boot lays it on pretty thick here: America’s brave troopers today fight for freedom in Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond, all the while yearning, as FDR said, “for the end of battle” when they can return home. They are not there to seize natural resources or to pump up...

If you’re a non-interventionist, neocon Michael Ledeen has some news for you. Don’t get too excited about a nuclear deal with Iran: First, our problems with Iran go way beyond the nuclear deal. If we could wave a magic wand and cause the entire nuclear project to...
Maintaining a military empire is an impossible task. Austrian economic theory explains the reasons why, and human history has more than proved the fact in an empirical sense. Yet, despite the countless failures at world domination, a new batch of power-lusters are...
