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. You can watch this series on my YouTube, Dailymotion, or blip.tv channels.

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.

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.

Bernard Goldberg
Having worked at CBS News for nearly 30 years, this former journalist (and liberal) knows what he's talking about when he claims the news media is infested with liberal bias. His two books Bias and Arrogance uncover the liberal workings of the media, while his other books, including 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, ridicule everything wrong with the American Left.

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).

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.

*chuckle* Ummm Ron Paul ... yeah except for the part where his district received more pork per capita than any district in Texas. ( which he always put in the bills then voted against but knew the bills were going to pass anyway) And the fact that his campaign taught workers Saul Alinski tactics in order to get their way. 80% of what he said was good. The other 20% was certified nuts.

Better than 20 percent good and 80 percent nuts.

Great selection of gentlemen. I tremendously admire and respect all of them. John Stossel is one of my personal heroes. *Brohoof*

I’m going more with mainstream individuals. I consider the internet and mainstream to be two different things, which they are.

Though yeah, Bob Whittle is a voice of reason. ;)
