News Alert: People Having Unconventional Thoughts

My latest videoblog.  It is a riot to observe the Establishment’s reaction when people think outside the Biden/Romney box.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    Hi Tom!!

    I commented on your interview with D. Miller at Mises, that you should have your OWN show.
    So…. now ya do!!
    Terrific!

    Just enjoyed your show over AM coffee. (late riser).

    BTW, I like to say that “AP” stands for “American Pravda”, although that’s a smear on Pravda.

    See you in class in a couple of weeks!

    I’ve been avoiding politics and economics on the Internet recently. Every time I check in the message seems to be that things are worse than I dreamed possible. It is commentators like you that keep the flame burning. Thanks for your work. I’ll be buying Rollback.

    Hi Dr. Woods. Will you be doing a video discussion with Jeffrey Tucker about your new book? I can’t get enough of those Mises Institute videos.

    You nailed that Supremacy argument. I spend an insane amount of time (ask my wife) refuting such BS in the local rag’s letters to the editor web site. The attack from proponents is always accompanied by an eye roll, yet their agrument, as you pointed out, makes no sense. If federal law was both infallable and supreme from birth, you wouldn’t even need the 9 political appointees in the black robes or state government at all. That aside, are we really to believe that the opinion of the swing vote of 9 unelected, life time “judges” (if they choose to listen to the argument) will tell us what is “The Law”? Even the most strident Federalist in 1790 would not have thought that a good idea.

    It’s hard to imagine the founders going to all the trouble of throwing off the yoke of centralized power just to re-establish it. Was George Washington a chump to not take the title of KING?
