Paul on “moderate” ROPMA members
A blogger has taken exception to Paul’s recent comments on ROPMA and their enablers. The person in question delinked Paul and had a good bleat, but didn’t have the courage to tell Paul. What is especially funny is the bleat was about Americans, of which Paul is not, alas.
Oh well, mate, at least you know we are behind you for telling it like it is.
The row continues apace. Paul has had a ludicrous response from his critic and he rightly fisks it within an inch of its sorry life.

The Sunday Times has done an excruciating piece on the young Tory. Read it and cringe. It’s fun, just the same.

Jenny McCartney lays into Ms Tweedy from Girls Aloud with vicious aplomb. Of course, it’s no where near as bad as the physical beating a bathroom attendant suffered at the hands of Ms Tweedy.
Ms.McCartney wonders why this woman has been let off so easily. Her record label planned to drop her if she were convicted of racist abuse. After all, it’s far more serious to call someone a nigger than beating the living daylights out of them.
Wait; come again? Ms Tweedy is allowed to stay in a pop group because she didn’t yell racist abuse at a women she beat the stuffing out of? And here I thought the music business had reached it nadir; guess not.
Comments are off for this postFree Staters counter criticisms before they happen
“In the Free State, would we still have problems? Yes. Absolutely. Will people still be greedy? Will they still lie, cheat and steal? No doubt. Will kids do drugs? Will drunk drivers kill people on the roads? Will food, medicine and education still have to be paid for somehow? Yes to all. We will, after all, still live on this mortal coil. The laws of physics and economics will still apply to us. We’re simply acknowledging that and dealing with it, unlike a lot of other political philosophies.” (10/31/03)
The Free State project is one of the most interesting things attemped in politics in recent years. Instead of bleating about it, these libertarians actually plan to put their ideas into practice. It was no surprise to me when they picked New Hampshire as their state of choice. After all, the state’s motto is “live free or die”, and they tend to be much more libertarian round those parts.
5 commentsFederal housing tenants to learn you don’t get something for nothing
“Enacting a measure first approved in 2002 fiscal year legislation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is ordering residents in government-assisted housing to volunteer their time or lose their home. Under the new rule that went into effect this month, HUD is requiring eligible residents to contribute eight hours a month to community service projects and/or self-sufficiency programs. HUD says the goal is to help make revitalized public housing communities more resilient and livable. Many of the service projects are designed to directly benefit the community ordered to contribute.” (10/30/03)
This seems fair to me. They are getting free housing from the taxpayers, surely it not much to ask for them to help themselves and their local community. Wonder if we shall see protests about this from so-called community leaders. I hope not, but one never knows.

Comments are off for this postPacking Pastor is acquitted of murder
“The Big Lake pastor who shot and killed two men he caught burglarizing his chapel before dawn on an April morning should never have gone into the church in the first place, said three of the jurors who deliberated on the case. But those same jurors also said that the Rev. Phillip Mielke had a legal right to check on the chapel — and deserved to be acquitted on criminal charges that could have brought up to 20 years in prison.” (10/29/03)
This is my type of pastor. Rather than blither on that people would raid a church, he did something about it. I am sure that a criminal will think twice before messing around with this pastor’s Chapel.
