Ask the people who work at the WaPo or Fox, they think they're reasonable. Unless "reason" can be programmed into a computer, it's not logical. (Read my book; I describe "liberty binaryism.")
Objectivity and reason doesn't sell.

People want culprits and reinforcement to their own ideas.

Objective reality would be too confusing.

He's talking about Reason magazine, a libertarian publication.
(I know. But you should read my book too. Go w/o 1 bowl of Top Ramen, and it's yours.)
As hungry as I am, you are not going to be able to bribe me with food to read your book.



In all seriousness,


I will probably purchase it over the holiday season.

Agreed
But I look at it a little differently. The GOP political class is all too often populated with Cucks that enjoy the roll as minority party. They get to talk big and don't do shit

I think you might be a couple decades off. 1994 was a long time ago. Being in the minority is no fun. Being in the minority means having to talk big and then back it up when you get power back.

Reason magazine is still going on...

There is a huge number of people not buying into the FOX vs MSNBC camp deal...

Hwen, Hwen, Hwen, this might be your worst signature yet. Let me guess: You are shilling for some stupid ethnic movie that no one in the entire Western hemisphere will watch? Your posts and avatar give me cancer of the eyes.
