Some of my acquintances rooted for Romney, Guliani, Huckabee and so forth during the last round of the Republican primaries. Of course, I'll bet the farm none of them do much research and read no policy journals. It was hard to convince them that the "conservatives" in government are statists who love not only big government but also the American empire.
Here, Lew Rockwell succintly sums up what every supposed small-government conservative should know: there's no difference between the two parties - they're all statists who want to run our lives and the world.

Super government spying center
Thanks to lewrockwell.com for a heads-up on the new super duper "cyber security" center in Utah.

You know all those futuristic sci-fi movies about how the government controls everything and watches everyone? Well, if you missed any, don't worry. We're in that society now. Read the article here.

Maybe that's why I saw a few Oregon license plates over the past few months.
