Laurence Vance answers his Theocon critics

Those of us who read Vance's columns on LewRockwell.com are well aware of his constant slamming of the religious right for their support for the warfare state. He decided to take his time to write a piece addressing his most common and overall bad criticisms.

While I don't think Vance will ever change the minds of statist loving religious conservatives, he does provide excellent counters for libertarians who get into a "debate" with a theocon. 

Alan Grayson introduces the War is Making You Poor Act

One of the few things I like about Alan Grayson is he is against the Warfare State. The liberal news site Truth Dig reports on general idea of his bill.

The War Is Making You Poor Act is elegant in its simplicity. Instead of financing these longstanding conflicts outside of the regular budgeting process, where they’re not factored into deficit projections, Grayson’s bill would make the DoD work within its means, and the money would instead be used for an across-the-board tax cut that would make the first $35,000 each American earns tax-free.

From the looks of things, it sounds like a good bill but will the warmongers in congress support it? Who knows.

Tea Party and the Empire

Bill Maher makes a point that many in the Tea Party movement have no interest in dismantling the Neoconservative Warfare state. Sadly despite he is Libertarian on social issues he supports income retribution which kills his credibility. He isn't the only one however, James Bovard of the Future of Freedom Foundation writes a piece in the Christian Science Monitor sharing the same sentiments. Thanks to Freedoms Phoenix for the video.
