On January 12, 2008, Op-Ed columnist Michael Kinsley wrote what by all accounts must be called a very shallow article in the Washington Post regarding his understanding of libertarianism. Though the concept of the piece is tenatively to praise Caesar, the result of his soliloquy is to bury him.

The substance of the debate
In light of the recent events of TNR contributor James Kirchick's article concerning Ron Paul, and his raising of the "racism" spectre, it is important to closely examine what exactly it is that Congressman Paul is suggesting, and perhaps to consider Mr. Kirchick's motivation for the article in question.

The Folly of John McCain
Miami Florida - Univision Debate. Senator John McCain has a chuckle at the boos Representative Ron Paul receives over this question.
MODERATOR: It's the presidential forum, the Republican one.
We're going to talk about something else. Now we're going to talk

rejected changes to the constitution, but the president, Hugo
Chavez...
(APPLAUSE)
President Hugo Chavez has insisted that he's going to propose

The Silence of the Lambskinned media.
Mayor Guiliani is currently the leader in national GOP primary polls, although in the early primary states he generally takes a back seat to Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and even Fred Thompson. Many pundits and even a noteable news network have proclaimed the inevitability of his nomination. Here at TCPNews, we feel that Mr. Guiliani is the benefactor of name recognition, and not much else.
