Red Barron

Hey folks, my sister in law lost her battle to breast cancer at just 26 years old. Ten years later, Team Heather, named after her, has raised almost $400,000 for breast cancer screening and research in the Komen Global Race for the Cure. The deadline for fundraising is TODAY. I REALLY need your help to make my goal! Please give, no amount is too small (or too large )..

Thank you and God Bless!

Just a reminder to set your DVR or stay up late to see me on FOX News Red Eye tonight/tomorrow morning at 3 am.  Thanks to an amazing game by my Pittsburgh Penguins last night, I will be rocking a Pens jersey (and my playoff beard) on Red Eye tonight – not a brown paper bag over my head!  Lets Go Pens!

Just an FYI, I will be speaking on behalf of Governor Gary Johnson at the Overgrow the Government event at 12:30 in the Sylvan Theater in Washington, DC.  Overgrow the Government is a pro-marijuana legalization event.  Join me in supporting an end to the costly, intrusive and failed war on marijuana.

On Thursday night/Friday morning at 3 AM I will be on FOX News Red Eye.  In what can best be described as insane, I allowing the outcome of the Pens-Flyers game on Wednesday night to dictate what I will wear.  If the Pens win, I will rock my Jordan Staal Pens jersey for the entire show.  If, however, the Pens lose and get swept by the Flyers, I will don a brown paper bag over my head for the Post Game Wrap Up portion of the show (provided Greg, Andy, Bill and company allow me to)…  Please in the name of all that is holy Pens, pull it out on Wednesday night!

Just an FYI to let folks know that I will be appearing on FOX News Red Eye this Thursday night/Friday morning at 3 AM.  So set your DVRs or stay up late to catch me on Red Eye!  By the way, if the Pens manage to pull out a win against the Flyers on Wednesday night I have promised to wear my Pens jersey on Red Eye.  Lets Go Pens!

My latest column is up at the Daily Caller.  I take on Van Jones and his comments about Libertarians.  Check it out!

The political coalition on the left is based on a culture of victimhood. The basic premise of modern liberalism is that America is a melting pot of oppressed groups. Women, gays, Muslims, African-Americans, Latinos, immigrants and the poor are all victims. The 99% is victimized by the 1% — and of course the 1% is made up exclusively of straight white Christian males. Worse than simply being victims, members of the “oppressed” groups are powerless victims, unable to change their miserable lot in life without the help of a big, benevolent government.

The single biggest threat to the American left’s political coalition is anyone from these groups who rejects liberalism and its collectivist ideology — and the left knows it. That is why the left so quickly and viciously goes after any gay person, Latino, woman or African-American who dares to wander off the liberal plantation.

Look at the over-the-top, and often personal, attacks on former Governor Sarah Palin, on former presidential candidate Herman Cain, on Congressman Allen West or even on gay conservatives like my colleague Jimmy LaSalvia.

Every plantation, even the ideological ones, has its plantation masters. The ideological plantation masters for the left are tasked with hunting down and destroying ideological escapees and with discouraging other escapees through fear and intimidation.

There are few better examples of the left’s ideological plantation masters than former Obama Green Jobs Czar Van Jones. Jones is a willing attack dog for the left, with an Orwellian ability to twist the facts.

Working on a  new project and looking for libertarian writers (both big L and small l libertarians) to help contribute to a new site.  The gig doesn’t pay at this point (isn’t that always how it is with the internet) but will be a good way to get your name and views out there!  Email me at cbarron@capsouthdc.com if you are interested!!!!  Thanks a ton.

Governor Johnson totally kicked butt on Colbert last night!  Click here to see the video (since embedding the damn video isn’t working this morning [grumble grumble]).  For more information on Governor Johnson’s campaign for President click here!

Just a heads up that I will be on FOX News Red Eye on Wednesday night/Thursday morning of this week at 3 AM.  So set your DVRs or stay up late!
