Intellectually dishonest, PC university president Fr. Wildes (Loyola-New Orleans) falsely accuses Walter Block of rationalizing slavery.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Block, a great libertarian economist, was making the point that what made slavery evil was its involuntary nature vs. the harsh lifestyle.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Dangerous, hard work often pays well (re: gender pay gap); workers and managers can enter a voluntary contract. This was not true of slavery— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Congratulations to the @FreeStateNH for reaching its goal of 20,000 pro-liberty households committed to relocating to New Hampshire.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Rand Paul, the only pro-liberty candidate of either major party, is leaving the Presidential race. I will tell you we will not support Trump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
@realDonaldTrump is a crybaby, excuse-making loser about Iowa attributing his 3.4% loss to the Cruz campaign flipping Carson voters on rumor— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
A few members of the Cruz campaign read into a CNN report that Carson was taking some time off from the campaign trail after Iowa.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Carson pulled 9.3% in the caucuses, above his 7.7% RCP average. Few, if any, Carson voters abandoned him. Trump underperformed his avg.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Georgetown Law should not prohibit crackpot Sanders student supporters from advocacy over misplaced IRS concerns.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Enough whining by loser Donald Trump over alleged "dirty tricks" and calls for a do-over. RNC, it's time you kick this RINO out of the GOP.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
Kudos to President Obama for visiting a mosque and underscoring our constitutional freedom of religion. We welcome all people of goodwill.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
I guess I should feel flattered. Here's my original tweet from yesterday:
Here's this guy's tweet that Alex Nowrasteh retweeted:Scott Brown, who won Ted Kennedy's Senate seat as filibuster-sustaining #41 against ObamaCare, is endorsing Trump, for universal healthcare.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 2, 2016
The guy elected to stop #obamacare @USSenScottBrown as #41st vote, is now endorsing @realDonaldTrump who favors universal health care???????

Moving on:@DerekKhanna @AlexNowrasteh Scott Brown, who won Ted Kennedy's Senate seat as filibuster-sustaining #41 against ObamaCare, is endorsing Trum— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 3, 2016
@realDonaldTrump suggests that Cruz kicking his ass in the Iowa caucuses is "fraud". You mean like Trump University? pic.twitter.com/ap7PwfCZW3— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
If Crybaby Sore Loser Trump wants to blame anyone for his loss in Iowa, who said "How stupid are the people of Iowa?"https://t.co/zbqdAo0Rxn— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
As for Carson blaming his loss on opposition rumors: he outperformed his 7.7% RCP avg. He's got a staff falling apart; no dry cleaners?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
Ben Carson is being dishonest.He hasn't been in the top 3 for weeks;he is not leading any poll.His staff is falling apart.Not "dirty tricks"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
Remember how Gore supporters were upset at Nader voters in 2000, arguing they were wasting their votes? So maybe even Trumpkins did the same— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
It's just sad to hear Ben Carson explaining a campaign gap because of wardrobe. As a former road warrior, I've had to launder, buy clothes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016
Image of the DayWhy would Wall Streeters offer Clinton $675K/speech? No quid pro quo, of course. Maybe she was giving her tips on trading cattle futures.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 4, 2016

Political Cartoon
I really shouldn't have to explain a cartoon, but if you are not from Illinois, this is a depiction of tax hike advocate House Speaker Madigan (D) and Gov. Rauner. Madigan is a long-time spendthrift, almost always in power over decades. (I think the GOP has been in the House minority except for one 2-year term during that period.) Rauner is the first GOP governor since Blagojevich was elected over a decade ago and is battling the tax-and-spend Dems and chronic finance, including pension, woes. Madigan, of course, doesn't want to do the politically unpopular thing of having to cut spending and is trying to scapegoat decades of bad public policy on Rauner.
