The Thin Blue Line

Anarchy Not In the U.K.

Aug 01

By Roderick

“Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy.

Jim Crow Returns to Alabama, Part 2

Jun 17

By Roderick

For a giggle, check out this critique (CHT Brandon) of my recent immigration post, by a “John J. Ray, M.A., Ph.D.” (Yes, he’s one of those.) The best bit is when the guy infers my deranged mental state from my picture. Yes, this picture. René Allendy, move over!
