The Things Which Are Caesar's
By Doug Newman

America's April 15 tax deadline is fast approaching. This is the date by which we are supposed to "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's."

Meanwhile, people in Iraq are marrying their cousins, widows in Zambia are sleeping with their deceased husbands' relatives, and the president's niece has a drug problem. (Read the rest here)

Bias Goes Both Ways -- Newton Was Right
By Ted Lang © 2003

The outrages of the Clinton administration clearly brought into focus the complicity of the liberally biased press and media. Hollywood loved and adored Clinton, even at a time when rabid adulation wasn’t an urgency considering the virtual nonexistence of a meaningful Republican opposition. Remember how House Speaker Newt Gingrich was crucified for a book deal, and then Hillary Clinton, who has yet to write a book on her own, was given an $8 million advance? Where’s Bill’s book? He got $12 million from the liberal publishing industry, also for never having written a book.

The Bush administration wants $600 million to continue looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It’s already spent $300 million in search of the elusive weapons.

This is beginning to look like an obsession.

Valerie Plame -- Are We Missing The Point?
By Ed Henry

With all the news about someone needing to thoroughly investigate the White House for vengefully leaking the identity of Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA operative or analyst specializing in weapons of mass destruction, are we missing the main point?

These investigations generally end up going nowhere. Does it really matter whether she was an operative or an analyst? So what if her cover is blown? The CIA has plenty of other operatives. The real question should be why we need people like this in the first place. (Read the rest here)

War And Consequences
By Michael Gaddy

The war in Iraq is a popular subject of debate in almost all venues today. The shills for government, otherwise known as the media, perpetuate the myth of the necessity of war. Over the next few weeks we here at Price Of Liberty would like to examine several treatises on the subject. Is it necessary and who exactly benefits when war is conducted by the State?

This week our article for discussion in our Forum will be the work of Randolph Bourne, written in 1917, titled, War is the Health of the State.

Think not only of the time this work was written but also how it pertains to the circumstances of today.
