No, I don't stay up until 3AM to watch the show, but I've downloaded hundreds of podcast clips from the show....



An Increasingly Libertarian Electorate



Lightening Round

  • Hillary Clinton Attacks Traditional Pro-Life Institutions: Thumbs DOWN! “Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton argued. “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,:  It's not just that Hillary seems to be justifying a Statist assault on religious liberty, on behalf of State-conferred "rights" to kill preborn life. In fact, prohibitions across religions and cultures are no more religious or cultural assaults on "rights" than similar condemnations on lying, murder, theft and adultery. 
  • George W. Bush Resurfaces To Attack Obama's Foreign Policy As Not Neo-Con Enough. Thumbs DOWN!   This blog is no fan of Obama's convoluted, unprincipled, inconsistent, failed foreign policy, but for Bush to not have learned from his own failures as well after all these years is disheartening. Bush would supersize Obama's foreign policy mistakes.
  • SCOTUS Reconsiders the Topic of "Gay Marriage". Thumbs DOWN! I'm somewhat encouraged by Justice Kennedy's concern about the unintended consequences to changing an institution which has evolved over thousands of years, but I'm skeptical that the same SCOTUS that has let stand reversals of several states' legitimate popularly-enacted traditional marriage laws will suddenly reverse the groupthink of all but a few lower courts.
