GOP Debates on May 3rd will Feature Nine Candidates, Including Ron Paul
Sandy Price sizes up the candidates who have accepted invitations, and had this to say about Ron Paul: Congressman Ron Paul is the sole candidate who believes in a limited government and a “hands off” position as far as our individual choices goes. Dr. Paul has also stated that he is against the Iraqi war and [...]
Turning Libertarian…I Really Think So
Carol J. Lancaster has had an epiphany: Even with the best intentions, governments are inefficient, bumbling, heavy-handed and sometimes corrupt. Sounds about right. And what do we get when the intentions of those in control are not the best? And they seldom are.
Alaska Libertarians for Ron Paul
Mainstream Libertarian says that the Alaskan Libertarian Party is considering an endorsement of Ron Paul for president. I would be pretty surprised to see any state party officially endorse a candidate in another party this early on. Whether or not it is official is really trivial though. Quite a few LPers are already behind Paul because he [...]
Real Social Security
The LA Times has an op-ed on the growing Libertarian undercurrent. This made me laugh. Lane was investigated by the FBI in the early postwar years for daring to write on a postcard that Social Security was the sort of socialistic government management of people’s lives we fought wars against. True Social Security, she insisted, [...]
Why the National Libertarian Party Should Pack It In
It’s very interesting to read so much on the web about the buzz Ron Paul is creating in his presidential run. Sure, it’s early still, and I’m not unrealistic about his chances, but I’ve heard more people mention his name already this year than I heard discussing Badnarik in 2004. Although many hardline libertarians would [...]
All or Nothing Libertarians
The Volokh Conspiracy has some interesting thoughts (again) on why libertarians are destined to suffer perpetually. My realistic side believes that it would be so much easier to infiltrate someone else’s party (cough cough Republicans cough cough) and point it in the “correct” direction instead of trying to reverse the brainwashing of a mass of [...]
Tolerance of Smokers
American Thinker has a pretty humorous take on the Left’s tolerance agenda… Perhaps schools should have smoking education courses where students pretend to smoke and can learn a lesson about intolerance and bigotry towards smokers? Hilarious.
100 to 1
From The Liberty Papers on Ron Paul’s election chances: I’m going to support Ron Paul for as long as he’s in the field. I have my concerns about a few of his positions, but he is far and away better than any other Republican or Democrat currently under discussion. Most candidates will force us to [...]
Libertarians–People With Brains
There’s some really good stuff over at at uncyclopedia.org If you find a libertarian who is not gambling, he is usually drunk. Sounds about right.
Ron Paul Presidential Exploratory Committee Video
This is the Republican party’s only hope of becoming something other than the religious wing of the Democratic party. Maybe he can’t win the nomination, but hopefully he can push the debate into the right direction. [youtube FPlPT4bncq8]
