At the very least.... Get Charles Goyette on your show... !!!! I miss him on the radio.

Judge, you really.....REALLY need to get you a SIDE KICK. Your show needs more BOUNCE, more Back n Forth, and I really think you would work well with Mr. Goyette.

So let me highly recommend CHARLES GOYETTE.... watch him here

Not even ONE link! Geesus! Are we still back in the 70's? Look, the very least you could do for you reader who takes the TIME and TROUBLE to read your OPINION is support your FACTS and ASSERTIONS with LINKS. In your day in the 1970's, perhaps your college professor asked you for a little bibliography at the end of your work, right? He asked you to put those little tiny 1's and 2's and 3's behind each sentence that would direct the reader to the pages and sources at the end of your bibliography. Remember you had to do that to get the respect of your professor and those who would take the trouble to read your work? Well guess what? YES, YOU STILL HAVE TO DO THAT ! But there is good news for you. It is easier to reference your work today. Here is a little story for you.... I was reading along and laughing at Justin Riamondo's assertions after assertions and laughing away thinking "this guy is off his rocker". For instance, when I first read that Neoconservatives where actually followers of Leon Trotsky, I broke out laughing a good one. Then it occurred to me to CLICK on one of those highlighted words in that ridiculous sentence. Do you know what? Justin was right! They came from New York university Trotskyites! I am not laughing any more. That was just one of many points, proved. Question, do you think some people, not me of course, read your opinions and laugh a bit? Do you think you could shut them up with a dozen or so well placed LINKS? I do. Take the time: learn a new skill. Let the internet make you a better writer. You will gain our respect.

"The recent suicide bombing in Zahedan was the work of Jundallah. These are war crimes, carried out with the full knowledge of the leaders of both parties in Congress, paid for by you and me, and conducted in our name." ........

"Terrorism from America: Terrorism Done in Our Name": Perhaps that should be your next book?

Perhaps the book could just survey various countries who endured terrorism from America starting at the end of WWII. For 90% of us, boring History is all that happened before WWII. What matters today to Americans is what happened after WWII to present day.

Just a thought,

Justin, could you think about and perhaps reflect on the tie-in (if any) between the 3 remaining liberal causes that you mention: Gay Marriage, Abortion, and Economic Equality. Perhaps there is a common thread between all three, but I only see maybe two: Gay Marriage & Abortion. First let me say I am an old married libertarian guy and take the standard libertarian position, "can't we keep the state out of both?". But I have noticed among my circles and experiences near Arizona State University, socially speaking, there seems to be a "cultural-industry" if you will, whereby older woman lesbians get state jobs in women’s studies and its spin offs, and focus lots of attention on the minds of young woman (ages 14-34). Socio-biologically speaking, this is a very valuable group and competition for these young women is intense. From the point of view of the nubile 19 year old, she is wanted, not only males of her own age range(14-34), but males much older. Adding to that competition enter Lesbians of all ages. So the competition is intense. Thus from a sociobiology point of view (see Edward O Wilson) perhaps it is not surprising that not only is State sanction and licensure of gay marriage is very important, but so is abortion. Young (14-34) Hetro-males, especially when "accidents" happen, are famous for suddenly becoming believers in abortion, if not "just this one time". So it is not surprising that the Lesbian Left (is there a lesbian Right?) is fervently for abortion for simple perhaps unconscious reason that Abortion keeps the pool of available woman "on the market" and "available". A good compare and contrast between Lesbians and Gay Males attitudes and strength of attitude towards both those issues, gay marriage & abortion should be enlightening. Whereby the competition is very intense for young gay males, we would expect mate protecting stratagems and so emotional feelings for gay marriage strong. But as for abortion (either pro or against) among gay males, I would expect the fervor to be less than half of what it is for Lesbians. You may use hetro-woman as a control group on their fervor over abortion and the difference, if any, could be telling and very informative as to what is going on "underneath". Now as for "economic equality" I think the failure of libertarians is to explain & demonstrate exactly and clearly that the best path to massive economic equality is a free and unfettered market. Would you support it otherwise? I would not. If I believed that a free market results in extreme massive poverty with a few greedy monopolists on top, I would NOT be for free markets. Yet contrary to all evidence, this is exactly what the left FEELS the Free market does. And there-in lays our problem, not theirs, ours as advocates for the Free market.
