There's a user on YouTube called thethinkingblue, who has a video series called "Voices of Reason." The series highlights such "reasonable" figures such as Keith Olbermann, Alan Grayson, and Janeane Garofalo. Seriously, if those people are "Voices of Reason," I shudder to think who qualifies as insane.
That video series inspired me to create my own Voices of Reason series, in which I highlight "real" individuals who exemplify rational thought. These individuals are committed to defending common sense principles such as individual rights, limited government, and free market economies.
VOICES OF REASON - John Stossel
The voice of reason in an age of hype and hysteria. His "Give Me A Break" segments on ABC's 20/20 challenged conventional wisdom with common sense, questioning assertions behind issues like global warming, healthcare reform, and public education. He continues to offer his skepticism in his books and weekly program on Fox Business.
VOICES OF REASON - Penn Jillette
The better half of the magical duo Penn and Teller. Along with his partner Teller, Penn uses his experience in creating illusions to dispel modern day illusions. From alternative medicine and global warming, to magic crystals and crash dieting, he helps unveil the bullshit of pseudoscience and propaganda.
VOICES OF REASON – Judge Andrew Napolitano
Having served as both a Superior Court Judge and a law school adjunct professor, Judge Andrew Napolitano is well-versed in Constitutional Law, strongly advocating for limited government while denouncing all forms of big government—be it from the left (through universal healthcare and over-regulation) or from the right (through drug prohibition and warrantless wiretaps).
VOICES OF REASON - Congressman Ron Paul
While most Republicans pay lip service to "limited government," Ron Paul has always practiced what he preached. He has stood firmly for a constitutionally limited government, opposing unconstitutional measures such as the Patriot Act, waterboarding, gun control, socialized medicine, and the drug war. He supports non-interventionist foreign policy and laissez-faire free market capitalism.
VOICES OF INSANITY
You’ve seen my Voices Of Reason series, which highlighted rational-thinking individuals who stood for common sense principles such as individual rights, limited government, and free enterprise. Now prepare yourself for the flip side of the spectrum: irrational lunatics who spew nothing but stupidity and ignorance.
VOICES OF INSANITY – Janeane Garofalo
The epitome of the Hollywood liberal who thinks she knows better than the average American simply because she can act. One would think that, having been the lead voice of dissent against former president Bush (whom she called a war criminal just as worse as Hussein), she would be open to dissent against president Obama. Instead, she accuses any form of dissent against him as racist, and anyone who disagrees with her as blind, naïve, or (if they’re women or minorities) sufferers of Stockholm’s Syndrome.
VOICES OF INSANITY - Keith Olbermann
The face of the liberal media. Unlike his right-wing counterpart Bill O’Reilly, who welcomes and debates guests with opposing viewpoints, Olbermann voices his left-wing biases unchallenged from within his echo chamber. In his progressive worldview, debate is unnecessary, for anyone who disagrees with him is merely a racist knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who desires to send America back into the Stone Age.
VOICES OF INSANITY - Mike Malloy
A progressive radio talk show host whose hate and vitriol rivals, if not outmatches, that of conservative counterpart Rush Limbaugh. Anyone who claims that liberals are not violent or uncivil have never heard of Mike Malloy. In his worldview, anyone who holds a different opinion than his doesn’t deserve to live, as he openly wishes death upon those with whom he disagrees.
