Read the Full Reason January 2015 Issue Online

Reason's January 2015 issue takes a close look at the libertarian take on foreign policy. Editor in chief Matt Welch discusses the reality and propaganda of war, while Will Ruger, Sheldon Richman, Fernando R. Teson, and Christopher Preble go in search of libertarian realism on the international scene. Veronique de Rugy says foreign aid is a failure, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tell us when America should rattle its saber. Jacob Sullum warns about mission creep at the CDC. Plus, see the usual favorites, including Citings, Brickbats, and the always-curious Artifact.

GOP fake scandal - Scalise spoke at a Klan rally.

BFD. He represents LA.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

There actually used to be a big Klan presence in California, so it makes sense he represents LA.

[Suthenboy]

Looks like he is gonna get his ass fired for it. If it brings down Boehner too then good riddance to both.

On the other side of the aisle being a big-wig in the KKK helps you become the longest serving senator in history.

Funny that.

You are such a dumb-shit, shreek.

[Scarecrow Repair]

Or President Woodrow "Progressive Racist" Wilson. Didn't seem to hurt him.

[Suthenboy]

Interesting tidbit about George Wallace's successful run for the governorship of Alabama:

"As noted above, Democratic dominance had been achieved by disfranchising most blacks and many poor whites in the state for decades, which lasted until years after federal civil rights legislation was passed in 1964 and 1965."

They are still at it too.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

It wasn't a Klan rally and I am inclined believe that Scalise is a dipshit that didn't understand who he was really talking to.

If being a dipshit disqualifies you from being in Congress then there goes 99% of them.

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

My guess is he knew, not that it matters. They have common ground on anti-immigration issues.

What he said would be of import. Not who he spoke to.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Thank G-Dub for bringing democracy to the Middle East and it only cost us $2 trillion!

[Suthenboy]

I for one am glad that chocolate Jesus put a stop to that colossal fuck-up.

Did I mention what a dumb-shit you are? You are on a coke bender again, aren't you?

[RussianPrimeMinister]

He doesn't understand you, Suthenboy.

He's just a monkey banging at a keyboard. Sometimes his screeds make sense, but that's only because of statistical probability.

Pretty soon he'll wander off to eat his own shit again, and we'll be without his screeching for another few hours.

[Palin's Buttplug]

You fuckers can't stand the fact that I escaped the GOP plantation.

I voted for Obama and those two shitty wars have ended (our part anyway) and spending has flatlined at $3.5T.

Case closed.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Yes, dickhead, because we are all Republicans here at this libertarian website.

And we are most certainly not fighting an unconstitutional war in Iraq right now...

...retard!

Case, apparently, reopened.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Not saying you do but others here actually still think the GOP is fiscally responsible.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Name one. There may be a few SoCons here, but I have never seen anyone make the claim that the GOP is fiscally responsible. And you make it sound like it's pervasive here.

Troll harder.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You certainly didn't escape the plantation.

I'm going with coke hangover.

Got any awesome stock tips for 2015?

[Agammamon]

Only invest 8% if your income?

[S. Quincy]

Got any awesome stock tips for 2015?

Boullion cubes suck as a soup base?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Sure, maybe at Denny's.

[Mr. Anderson]

Libertarian foreign policy:

"All war is bad."

What about the good wars?

"Those were okay"

Then how do you distinguish between when the war is just?

"Shut up war hawk, with your war boner"
