The Humble Libertarian original

All the critics are hypocrites for accusing him of exploiting a tragedy for views, while drawing more attention to it for views and feeding on all the delicious #outrage. They're just haters.

Athena gives council before Zeus among the Immortals of Olympus as the gods turn their eyes to the affairs of men. Odysseus is detained by the goddess Calypso.

The Supreme Court has actually ruled that it is literally not the police's obligation to protect people from violent criminals. The video you're watching above is a true story. Here's the Wiki article on it .

CNN and most mainstream media are entities pretending to be news organizations that deliver content based on nothing of substance to draw clicks and views.

Senator Rand Paul knows real gun control means hitting your target:

Hat tip to The Independent Institute's David Theroux for passing this on to me: Gregory's thoughts reminded me a lot of Justin Raimondo's take (h/t Jack Hunter ): 'Part of what made this a signal event was that this was no pro forma type filibuster of the modern school, in which the Senator merely has to make known his or her intention to filibuster, but not actually get up there and speak. This was the real thing, and it was substantive. The Senate actually debated an important policy matter in the old style, with references to Shakespeare, and rhetorical flourishes the like of which we haven’t seen in many years. It was, in short, a paleo moment – and, politically, it was the Libertarian Moment, i.e. that moment in which a substantial body of Americans was rooting for a champion of liberty against the puffed-up conceit and criminal depredations of an overweening federal government... What we are seeing is a seismic shift in the two parties’ approach to civi...

By: Wes Messamore If you want to know why I support Ron Paul for president, all you need to do is take a look at the following short video from a Republican Party presidential debate. The candidates are asked where they would like to set tax rates. Only one says the income tax should be 0% --and then has the depth of statesmanship and level of economic understanding to say that the hidden "inflation tax" should be 0% as well. Ron Paul is looking out for you. Mitt Romney is looking out for big government. As you file your income taxes, tell me, who do you really want in the White House?

By: Wes Messamore On Russia Today , Alex Jones discusses how global power players are working to orchestrate global control over the world's economy and natural resources to advance an agenda of radical population reduction and a return to pre-industrial feudalism. If you think this is over the top or hard to believe, I have only one question for you: Why? Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

Watch the video below and comment in the threads to say whether you think Santorum almost said the N word and then quickly caught himself. Honestly, I think it's just a really, really funny coincidence as he stumbled over his words: Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

What is it about Jay Leno's show? Every time Ron Paul goes on, it's like he becomes a completely different person. He's so loose, relaxed, makes a lot of pretty funny quips, even has a sort of confident, boyish charm that he doesn't always exhibit on the campaign trail or in debates. When Jay Leno asked him what his preferred Secret Service code name would be, Ron Paul didn't miss a beat before answering, "Bulldog."

In the video below Shane Coley presents the argument that Fractional Reserve banking causes theft and leads to collapse and destruction of a free society. He notes that the practice of creating fractional money is a particular case of using differing measure, which the Bible condemns, since the practice operationally causes theft. The dialog that follows the testimony is worth listening to carefully. This is really good stuff: Drew Martin and I will be interviewing Shane Coley live on our streaming online radio program later today. Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

The unbound delegate count is one mostly ignored by the mainstream media, especially relative to its coverage of the "beauty contest" results of non-binding straw polls in caucus and primary states. In addition to not being covered very well despite its importance to the process (and would could turn out to be its central importance to the process this election cycle), this matter of the unbound delegate count is frankly kind of confusing. No worries. In this Reality Check with Ben Swann , Ben spotlights these unbound delegates and breaks the issue down with a simple explanation so that viewers can finally understand it.

By: Wes Messamore NASHVILLE, Tennessee (The Humble Libertarian) - As Super Tuesday primary and caucus results came streaming in from all over the country, a seemingly young filmmaker from Kentucky announced late Tuesday night that he would be releasing a low-budget documentary about Sen. Rand Paul's successful 2010 bid for the U.S. Senate. The filmmaker, who announced the upcoming release in a video on YouTube using the handle jgmdavi , said that he plans to debut the political documentary by the Republican National Convention in August. (Watch the full video announcement below.) The video announcement, which is clearly addressed to fans and supporters of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and his father, U.S. Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX), opens with the words: "Many of you were there in November of 2010 when Rand Paul was elected to the U.S. Senate. Shortly thereafter he was sworn into office. Since then, in just over a year in Washington, he's be...

Here's the Huffington Post's interactive map breaking down the Washington state caucuses by county. The Daily Paul has reports trickling in from Ron Paul supporters all over Washington state of voter fraud and disenfranchisement . InfoWars says : "Another strong finish for Paul could mean that both Santroum and Gingrich will re-evaluate their place in the GOP race." If Paul can actually pull off strong finishes on Super Tuesday, and somehow emerge as the only candidate other than Romney to pick up an entire state, the InfoWars claim above certainly rings true to me, but as I've stated in my Super Tuesday headline and commentary roundup , while I'll be watching closely tomorrow, I'm not holding my breath for a big Paul win. We'll see if Alaska comes through for us. Video: Ron Paul's Full Washington State Post Caucus Speech 3/3/12 Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page
