Neocon Frenzy Over Trump by Jacob G. Hornberger March 7, 2016 Donald Trump is certainly no libertarian but it is absolutely fantastic the way he has thrown the neocon movement into sheer panic and desperation. The neocons, as most everyone knows by now, are known for the death and destruction that they want the U.S. government to continue wreaking on foreigners around the world, especially in the Middle East. Recall what happened ...
No Limited Government Under a National Security State by Jacob G. Hornberger March 1, 2016 Conservatives have long professed to be advocates of “limited government.” They often employ the phrase in their favorite mantra, “free enterprise, private property, and limited government.” As I pointed out in my blog post yesterday, “Conservatives and the Free Market,” conservatives also profess to be advocates of free enterprise but then endorse practically every statist program that comes down ...
Conservatives and the Free Market by Jacob G. Hornberger February 29, 2016 One of things that conservatives love to tell people is how devoted to the free market they are.

Good for Sanders! And Shame on Him! by Jacob G. Hornberger February 25, 2016 At a town hall forum in South Carolina a couple of days ago, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was asked by CNN whether he stood by recently surfaced comments he made about the CIA back in 1974, which I wrote about in my blog post yesterday. Back then, Sanders pointed out that the CIA was a dangerous institution ...

Sanders, Clinton, the CIA, and the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger February 24, 2016 An article this week in Politico reveals that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called for the abolition of the CIA during the 1970s.
