Lady Liberty's "Their View" Contributors:

Alan Caruba
Alan Caruba is the founder of The National Anxiety Center, a clearinghouse for information about "scare campaigns," begun in 1990 initially to debunk environmental claims but which has since expanded to include many other topics such as education, immigration, and Islam. Caruba began his professional career as a working journalist and, since the 1970s, has been a public relations counselor. He is the author of several books and has written numerous magazine articles over the years.

R.A. Hawkins
Richard Hawkins was born in Aurora, Colorado and grew up in Littleton, Colorado in a quiet little neighborhood nobody has ever heard of called Columbine Knolls. He has been married to the same woman for twenty-six years, and worked for the same aerospace company for twenty-eight. His primary interests over the years have been his family, sociology, mastering his survival skills, windsurfing, music, politics, raising wolves, art of all types, mycology, perma-culture, archeological anomalies, geo-politics and staying gainfully employed; not necessarily in that order. He often describes himself as a separate subspecies of human – ‘Eclecticus-Iconoclastimus’. His primary driving force is his unwavering belief that as sovereign citizens we are each responsible not only for our own beliefs and actions, but where those beliefs and actions take us in life: That the truly intelligent person learns to determine what the consequences might be for our beliefs and actions and then acts accordingly. Our individual actions always affect far more than we can imagine. R.A. Hawkins is the author of "Through Eyes of Shiva," available via Amazon.com. More of Mr. Hawkins' commentaries can be found on his web site, Entropical Paradise.

Jonathan David Morris
Jonathan David Morris is a political writer based in New Jersey. A strong believer in small government, JDM often takes aim at oppressive taxes, entitlements, and laws, writing about incompetence at the highest levels of culture and government. Catch his weekly ramblings on his web site.

Rep. Ron Paul Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

Center for Conflict. Mr. Salvato is available for public speaking
engagements.

Alan Caruba
Strangling the Energy Baby

There is an effort in Congress — mostly thanks to the Democrat leadership — to strangle the energy baby in the cradle.

Why they and some addled Republicans would want to do this defies an answer beyond the hatred environmentalists have for all forms of energy other than windmills, solar panels, and crops which should be eaten instead of poured into one’s gas tank.

Let’s start by understanding there are now three hundred million Americans. More people increase the need for more electricity. America currently must generate 15.43 trillion kilowatts of electricity and is in immediate need of more.

This is why, following every winter storm, the very first piece of news reported is how many people are without electricity. Read the rest...

Jonathan David Morris
Making Soccer Safe For America

Every now and then, something happens in soccer that makes soccer fans think Americans will suddenly start to care about their game.

In the 1970s, Brazilian soccer supergenius Pele joined the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. In 1994, America hosted the World Cup. In the year 2000, Disney released Air Bud: World Pup—the third in their series of sports-playing dog movies. Before each of these things happened, soccer fans wondered, “Will this be it?” Will this be the straw that finally breaks the non-soccer-watching American public’s back?

Sadly, in each case, the answer was no. Read the rest...

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

Speech Before the U.S. House of Representatives
January 18, 2007

Everybody Supports the Troops

Mr. Speaker, I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our armed forces. This is pure demagoguery, and it’s intellectually dishonest. The accusers play on emotions to gain support for controversial policies, implying that those who disagree are unpatriotic. But keeping our troops out of harm’s way, especially when war is unnecessary, is never unpatriotic. There’s no better way to support the troops. Read the rest...

“24” or 5 to 12

Two manufactured events took place this week that lend credence to the notion that we live in very danger times. The first, the detonation of a “suitcase nuke” nuclear device on American soil by Islamist terrorists, as portrayed on the FOX series “24,” was fiction. The second, the updating of the “Doomsday Clock” to five minutes to midnight, though based in scientific reasoning, is also artificial. But when viewed through the terroristic chaos in which the world is embroiled only the naïve and those in denial can afford the luxury of discounting the probability of an “American Hiroshima” taking place in the near future.
