The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without. Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become "one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions": a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have --- Greatness. -- Aleister Crowley

Politics – After years of denying it was a problem, McCain woke up and discovered Afghanistan, but has no credible plan. He wants to surge in Afghanistan without reducing troops in Iraq, which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says is impossible. He wants to balance our budget through troop withdrawals which he opposes. The whole thing is illogical.

Religion – This video of John McCain is truly incredible. The simple answer should have been that insurance companies should, indeed, cover birth control pills. But McCain was incoherent. This is not the first time McCain has shown profound ignorance on birth control and sexuality. Here's the Straight-Talk Express at work:
