Readers, I have some very exciting news to report to you this morning. It happened last week, but I've held the announcement til today.
I have been taken on as a regular contributing writer to Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com. I am very pleased to join Andrew, and his group of fine libertarian-conservative writers.
The articles/commentary which I write for BigGovernment will be original, differing from those posted here. I expect maybe one or two pieces a month. Mostly focusing on foreign policy and a Pro-defense libertarian stance.
Here's my first. A bit controversial, especially for some Ron Paul supporters. Titled, "Scott Brown Victory is a Win for Bush Foreign Policy, over Ron Paul Isolationism":
And please add BigGovernment.com to your Daily Favorites.
UPDATE!
My article was picked up and run in full (ZinOwl) or excerpted by at least 5 different other sites, including the hugely popular Lucianne.com and New Media Blog.
UPDATE!
Alas, I have just received my first negative review. From some lowly blog calling itself "The Quick and the Dead," (emphasis on the Dead):
Breitbart pisses his credibility away
The site that began with the Giles/OKeefe stings is now reduced to publishing empty anti-Ron Paul screeds by Eric Dondero.
Dondero, a self-proclaimed “libertarian Republican” has for years haunted the libertarian blogosphere with screeds mocking libertarians, arguing that the GOP darling-du-jour (Bush, Giuliani or whomever) is “really libertarian.” Even the mention of his name has become a punch line. In the latest rant, he equates Coakley’s position on the Middle East wars with Ron Paul’s (a stretch; Coakley never met a principle she could hold), and ends “But its [sic] notable that voters of one of the most dove-ish of states, [comma sic] chose to side forthrightly with the candidate of the Bush foreign policy agenda, over Obama/Paul.”
You can excuse me if I don't add a link.
