LiveJournal: Russia's unlikely internet giant →
radicalmilitantlibrarian:
As Russia prepares to elect a new president this weekend, voters are more fired up than they have been for a decade. It’s partly due to an internet revolution that has challenged the state’s power to control public opinion - and to the blogging platform LiveJournal.

Before there was Facebook or even Blogger, there was Livejournal.

daisysnotebook-deactivated20120 asked: Nobody else has given me a definite answer yet. All I've gotten are "maybes." If nobody else shows up, it's going to be a hot Jayel-Daisy date.

255 reasons to oppose Barack Obama
Last Christmas Day, I published the names of the 255 military servicemembers that needlessly died in the Iraq War under the celebrated peace laureate Barack Obama. It is a grisly list, generously sourced from Antiwar.com. I wrote then:
In Dec. 15, the celebrated peace laureate President Barack Obama declared for the third time the end of the war in Iraq. In his end-of-war speech Obama said that...

I am so glad that liberal Democrats are gleeful...
And conservatives accuse them of “class warfare?” How silly.
This clearly shows them to be a team player: for the corporatists.

Nephew: The trouble with my uncle, Rick Santorum →
Rick Santorum’s nephew points out what is wrong with his uncle:
If you want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country, you should vote for my uncle, Rick Santorum. America is based on a strong belief in individual liberty. My uncle’s interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working.

Elizabeth Warren is a warmongering fanatic
“Elizabeth Warren is a right-wing fanatic,” claims David Kramer. Kramer points out Warren’s own words in her foreign policy page.
Warren on Iran:
Iran is a significant threat to the United States and our allies. Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, it is an active state sponsor of terrorism, and its leaders have consistently challenged Israel’s right to exist. Iran’s pursuit...

RE: Libertarian Tumblr Meet
I have narrowed it to either Pasadena or somewhere in Hollywood. I am taking suggestions of places to choose.
How about March 17 at 6 p.m.? Late enough to drink alcohol and early enough that people can still salvage their Saturday nights.

Hey Los Angeles/Orange County/Inland Empire...
Ideally it would be a weekend, but I think it would be a great way to really forge a connection with each other if we actually network in person.
Plus, we might actually end up befriending each other.
Reblog if you want to do this and/or just wish you were here to make it out here. Also, reblog for liberty and anti-imperialism.

Al Qaeda arming opposition in Syria
In a grisly repeat of Libya, the United States and Al Qaeda find themselves once again working together for a common goal: the deposal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
From the heroic John Glaser:
These terrorists, often described as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) carried out two recent bombings in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and likely was behind the suicide bombings on Friday in the city of...
