Free Trade in Colombia Equals More Drugs in America

President Bush's recent calls for "Free Trade" with Colombia is the single most destabilizing force in hemispheric affairs in the last 50 years. If you want oil at 300.00 a barrel, Brazil to never work with us again, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Venezuela to break further away from us, and Ecuador to stop working with us, and whatever benefit we have from CAFTA to fall through; by all means, working with a drug dealers government is a good idea. If you want peace and prosperity, we have to work peacefully with all the parties involved. See my post below. If it is passed, be sure that Delaware will thank you for More ILLICIT DRUGS on our streets.

It does not work for our nations benefit to try to turn Ecuador into a new Gaza strip. It works for Exxon-Mobile. A government of the people does not work to subsidize Exxon's disputes. Let Exxon fight its own fights. Never say I did not tell you so or warn you about this, I love the United States but drown out reason and look at what is going on: http://www.delawareliberal.net/2008/03/04/citigroup-solvency-hangs-by-a-thread/#comments

You must have friends down there. I have friends from Cuba, but none further south.

You write as if you have a horse in this race.

I want a peaceful settlement to all these issues and I read the "agreement" that reads more like a war plan, and do not want more people killed for an Exxon-mobile conglomerate who has plans to run pipelines from Simon Bolivar's home in Caracas to Tierra Del Fuego and who gives colombia "free ability to ship and transport" drugs to our port of Wilmington.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here: chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.” The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point: Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo: Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1. Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...
