Slander is standard in politics in politics, but ultra-loony blogger Pamela Geller goes too far this time. I'm quite sure most of you have heard of Gellar, who is best known for  actively bashing and demonizing those dirty Mooslims. I can't blame her, though -- everybody has to make some sort of a living.

Anyways, recently she has taken a very active role in falsely smearing both Ron and Rand Paul (especially since this year's CPAC).  Her outrage seems to have been triggered by the Pauls' support for a spending bill cutting off foreign aid to Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan and *whispers* Israel.

Geller took to her blog to disgustingly call both Ron and Rand Paul "imposters," while reserving the title of "notorious anti-Jewish state hater" for Ron.

The political crisis  in Egypt is effecting politics in the Middle East in profound ways, all thanks to Tunisians, course.

Hyperinflation is an intriguing subject and one which YAL members (as supporters of the free market) are undoubtedly very familiar with. However, many of us often hear only examples of the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe; this Mises Institute video discusses so much more. You will learn what most professors and educators will not teach you.   Please watch. 

In a new poll conducted by CNN, most Americans view China as an economic threat. However, the question is should we fear the Chinese?

Many hawkish conservatives and liberals in the media intentionally try to depict China our potential or perhaps future enemy. Maybe it is because China's influence is growing or that China is now the second largest economy in the world. However, despite these depressing facts,the fact of the matter is that Americans should not fear China (at least I don't think so).

As savage and cruel as some aspects of Chinese culture and government may be (i.e animal cruelty, forced abortions and a highly questionable human rights record), the country and the people should not be feared. In fact, Americans shouldn't fear the Chinese, Americans should learn from them. Even though China is "Red," the Chinese have become far more capitalist than communist for the past decade or so. Economic liberty is slowing creeping into China and yet our politicians say we have to fear them. As  far as production goes, the Chinese are one of the top producers in the world today; this has obviously done wonders to their economy. American politicans, however, do not want to take this as a great example and soley rely on taxation, debt and inflation.
