On
the Libertarian Party
I used to think the Libertarian Party
was a waste of time before I eventually joined. Now I know that a winning
political strategy for us is to support libertarian Republicans like Ron Paul,
Rand Paul, and Art Alas for state and federal races, while supporting LP
candidates for local races.
But when there are no libertarians on
the Republican ticket, the red blanket babies can forget it. I WILL NOT SETTLE
for "Team R" when I can vote for a candidate who represents my
beliefs. -8/14
Non-intervention
and blowback
Non-intervention is excellent for
preventing FUTURE blowback, but doesn't do anything about the anti-American
blowback that currently exists and is still percolating. This is why the
liberty movement needs to start forming strategies for national defense AND
fighting terrorism at home in ways that remain in harmony with libertarian
principles. -8/26

Cathy
Reisenwitz
I just saw Cathy Reisenwitz's
"resignation" announcement and it makes me sad to see such a great
pioneer of liberty for our generation is temporarily "leaving" the
movement. In reality, she's not leaving, per se; she's taking an important step
out of the realm of talking politics/theory and into that of the market economy
(i.e. the REAL world). The folks where she's going need her, and her
libertarian influence, a lot more than we do. -8/29

Russia,
Ukraine, and Iraq
President Obama finally admitted that
"Russia is responsible for the violence in eastern Ukraine."
Ironically, this was right after addressing US military operations against the
Islamic State (in Iraq and Syria). -8/29
Happy
Birthday Hans-Hermann Hoppe!
Hans-Hermann Hoppe turned 65 today
(Happy Birthday Hans!!!). He is credited
with advancing the field of knowledge trail blazed by Ludwig von Mises and
Murray Rothbard. Perhaps the most
important theme to take away from reading his works is that any deviation from
the free market (i.e. government) is socialism, and that the more government,
the more socialism, and so the descent into authoritarianism and tyranny begins. -9/2
