Liberty on the Rocks™ Denver

Terence Jeffrey briefly reviews Mark Levin’s new book, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.
Jeffrey writes:
Fundamentally, Levin explains, conservatives recognize that there is an immutable natural law ordained by God that all men and nations must obey. He also makes clear that while human beings have a God-given right to individual liberty, they are also imperfect [...]

Mike Littwin continues his minimization of the the Churchill trial. “World has moved beyond Churchill“:
What we had instead of drama was a re-introduction to Ward’s World, in which — and I swear, under oath, this is one of the linchpins of the trial — we got a full hearing of how Churchill wrote an essay [...]

That juror’s question at the end of Churchill’s testimony today was indeed disquieting, to say the least, for those who might have hoped the jury had gotten past the genesis of the research misconduct complaints against Ward. The juror asked, “Would all of these allegations have surfaced if not for the 9/11 essay?”
I didn’t hear [...]

Oh God, with an eagle feather on red fabric next to him. According to the Camera, he’s spouting bullshit about–er, contextualizing–his “little Eichmanns” essay. You know the drill: “He said if you make it a ‘practice of killing other peoples’ babies for your own personal gain, that eventually, they are going to give you a [...]

CU sociology prof and Churchill investigative committee member Michael Radelet on direct examination:

Radelet dismissed the notion that just because a handful of examples of research misconduct was found by the investigative committee that it was much ado about nothing. He testified that the committee didn’t come close to looking at all of Churchill’s scholarship and [...]

In an otherwise blah synopsis of the trial and related issues, Indian Country Today quotes Churchill attorney Robert “the” Bruce:
Although Churchill was initially regarded publicly as Indian and his writing attacked on that basis, later it was charged that he was not Indian and his views were therefore not those of most Native people as [...]

What is happening? Every news story has some reference to AIG bonuses, another Stimulus Package, and don’t forget these Tax Day Tea Party Protests. What does it all mean? Liberty on the Rocks strives to offer a community forum to discuss these issues. Liberty on the Rocks started in [...]

A few protesters gathered on Boulder street corners yesterday to protest the war in Iraq and allegedly kindred matters.
I know, who cares, but the Camera has a photo gallery which contains pics of not one but two signs on which the peace symbol is screwed up in the usual way. For such a small protest [...]

Vince Carroll on why the Churchill case matters:
It matters because Churchill is not alone, because he stands for a small but aggressive wing of academia at war with the belief that history is reconstructed by sifting through credible evidence to reach fact-based conclusions. To them, history is politics by another name. This mentality has been [...]
