- Ron Paul vs. Bernanke, the Fed, inflation, and central economic planning - March 17th, 2010
Earlier today Ron Paul did what he does best: Hammered central government/economic planning during a House committee hearing. He then gets to ask Ben Bernanke a few questions on interest rate manipulation. Unsurprisingly, Bernanke claims the problems were due to not enough regulation rather than admit that regulation was the cause of the problems.
“Central Banking [...] - Ron Paul educates Fox Business viewers on inflation - March 16th, 2010
Ron Paul appeared on Fox Business channel today to discuss Bernanke and his Fed friends leaving interest rates alone, Dodd’s finance reform bill, inflation, and other economy-related topics.
- Rand Paul, Andrew Breitbart discuss health care on Fox Business - March 16th, 2010
Rand Paul and Andrew Breitbart appeared last night on Fox Business News’ “Nightly Scoreboard” with David Asman to discuss health care reform.
Don’t forget to pledge and donate on March 23rd for Rand Paul’s next money bomb. He went over $2 million dollars last night and needs a lot more to continue to compete and hold [...] - State Nullification of Unconstitutional Federal Laws at CPAC 2010 - March 15th, 2010
The Campaign For Liberty has posted Tom Woods’ excellent speech at CPAC regarding state nullification against unconstitutional federal laws as an avenue for real change in the United States.
The talk is in seven parts in the playlist below. - Ron Paul talks Financial Reform on MSNBC - March 15th, 2010
Ron Paul was a guest on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” with Ed Shultz. They discussed Chris Dodd’s financial reform package and how it gives the Federal Reserve more power than it already has.
- I may be able to support health care reform if… - March 15th, 2010
I may be able to get behind this Democratic health care over-reach plan if they adopt an “If we are wrong we pay” approach to it.
In other words, if every lawmaker who votes for health reform agrees to personally pay for everyone else’s health care for any amount health care costs rise above the CBO [...] - Rand Paul is what Scott Brown promised: Another Reagan? - March 13th, 2010
The Tea Party folks were jumping for joy the day after Scott Brown won the special election in Massachusetts. Brown’s victory was all about stopping the Democrats from passing health reform and little else. His subsequent vote, incidentally his very first vote, supporting Obama’s “stimulus 2″ jobs bill reinforced this reality amongst some of his [...]
- Country-crashing Afghanistan on the House floor - March 10th, 2010
Dennis Kucinich had his day on the House floor today. The debate on his doomed bill to demand that Obama remove our troops from Afghanistan was full of the usual suspects making their usual arguments. I can’t help but wonder, if George Bush were still president, would there have been more than 60 votes of [...]
- Rand Paul has “it” but hasn’t won anything yet - March 8th, 2010
As many Liberty Maven readers are aware we endorsed Rand Paul last summer following our interview with him. At the time he was behind in the polls by 11% points in the Kentucky GOP primary. On Sunday the latest poll shows him leading his Republican opponent Trey Grayson by 15% points.
This is uncomfortable territory for [...] - The best CPAC speech you probably missed - March 6th, 2010
Yes, Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll and delivered a good speech. Glenn Beck delivered a great speech too, but for my money it was a Judge Andrew Napolitano speech that was the best of CPAC 2010.
As I sat in the audience following Judge Andrew Napolitano’s speech during the Liberty Forum at CPAC 2010 [...]
