I'm willing to zap conservatives when they do things that are not libertarian.

I was standing next to a famed geo-politician when the first news of the Argentine attack [on the Faulkland Islands] was received, and heard him muse incredulously: "An old-fashioned naval battle. A war between two civilized nations, perhaps with even a declaration of war, and later a peace conference. Wow." No hostages, no nukes, no ideologies, no religious fanaticism; just a fair-and-square war over national interests - hard to believe, in this day and age.

What a joy it is to see really professional media manipulation.

It behooves us to avoid archaisms. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.

To communicate, put your words in order; give them a purpose; use them to persuade, to instruct, to discover, to seduce.

This is what it's all about. From what I could see, you could get a bunch of people together, whip up the press and have some impact.

In dealing with Syria's dictator...only force counts. No cease-fire was attainable in Lebanon until the 16-inch guns of the battleship New Jersey started shelling Syria's proxies; suddenly, sweet reason prevailed in Damascus.
