Should we worry when money and politics mix? Common wisdom suggests that large campaign contributions can corrupt politicians and disenfranchise regular voters. But Bradley Smith, former chairman of the Federal Elections Commission under President George W. Bush, warns that laws designed to regulate campaign contributions can have unintended consequences, actually making the playing field more advantageous for incumbents and stifling broad participation in the political process.
Smith is currently the Josiah H. Blackmore II/Shirley M. Nault Professor of Law at Capital University Law School in Bexley, Ohio — a suburb of Columbus. Here, he explains the downside to campaign finance reform in a brief talk for LearnLiberty.org

Was Hitler brought to you by Budweiser? Did Taco Bell lead Castro’s revolution? In this episode of Intellectual Frog Legs, Joe Dan Gorman analyzes the Democrats’ class warfare rhetoric in light of the party’s failure to stabilize or grow the economy, even though Democrats have controlled at least two-thirds of the US legislative and executive branches since January of 2007.

The Democrats gin up victims even when they don’t exist. It’s a divide-and-conquer party, pitting men against women, different minorities against each other, the rich vs. the poor, the old vs. the young — telling each group it’s a “victim” at the mercy of the bloodsucking vampire Republicans. Alfonzo Rachel exposes the phoniness behind the game, and has some fun skewering those non-existent fat-cat Democrats pulling the strings in this marionette show. See it all — and watch him dodge a flying wife shoe — in the latest ZoNation. H/T PJTV

President Lyndon Johnson hailed his policies as laying the foundation for a Great Society. But Alfonzo Rachel says LBJ instead undermined this country by instituting a tax code that limited the free speech of ministers and establishing a welfare state that destroyed the fabric of families. While “church pastors sold out to the devil in the first place,” they need to begin to re-establish their voices in the political and cultural arenas, Rachel argues in his latest edition of ZoNation.
