Jack Hunter explains how the movie adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged champions capitalism, denounces corporatism and exposes bias and hypocrisy on both Left and Right. I do have to disagree with Hunter here when he says that Avatar wasn't that great a film, but otherwise, his analysis of the critics' motives is spot on, not to mention his look at corporatism vs. true capitalism. Are any other libertarians getting tired of having to make that clarification? Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

Virtually every conservative leader claims to be for a "big tent" Republican Party. In 2008, Republicans believed that fighting the War on Terror was so paramount that Sen. Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate, should be given a prime-time speaking role at their national convention due to his hawkish views. At that time Lieberman and most conservatives agreed on little more than foreign policy. In contrast to Lieberman, that same year and at that same convention, Congressman Ron Paul was not allowed to enter the event despite the fact that most conservatives agreed with the libertarian firebrand on virtually everything except foreign policy. Yet, Paul's presence was forbidden based primarily on his opposition to the war. Read the rest of Jack Hunter's article at the Charleston City Paper .

'It’s almost become a stock gripe for talk-radio hosts to disparage folks who aren’t as up on politics as they are. When President Obama was being ushered in two years ago, nationally syndicated talk host Neal Boortz said, “Let me point out the fact that on Tuesday night more Americans were tuned in to watch ‘American Idol’ than watched the inauguration festivities. Hopefully you aren’t surprised.” Actually, I wasn’t surprised one bit. Most Americans simply aren’t into politics to the degree Boortz would prefer. This doesn’t make them bad Americans. It actually makes them quite normal.' Text version at The American Conservative . By: Jack Hunter , a Featured Voice at T H L Read Jack Hunter's columns at: AmConMag | Charleston City Paper
