.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

Yesterday, Ron Paul, often cited as a "libertarian," was one of only two Republicans to vote in favor of Nancy Pelosi over the Waterboarding investigations. Nancy Pelosi, lifetime Libertarian Index ratings of virtually '0'; perhaps the most Authoritarian, anti-libertarian politician in America, and Ron Paul now supports her.
Meanwhile, up in Alaska, that pesky "conservative," who leftwing libertarians refuse to identify as a libertarian, gave a Big 'F' You to the Obama administration, by turning down $30 million in stimulus funds, cause it would require Alaskans to enforce Fed building codes on small businesses and private dwellings.
Now, turn on your trusty little libertarian website this morning, like Delaware Libertarian, and there's zero news about either of these events.
Ron Paul - "libertarian" Votes Authoritarian
Sarah Palin - "conservative" Votes Radical Libertarian
Run that by me again? Whose the libertarian and who's not?
Not that it matters, but I will take my extended vacation at the beach this week over fulfilling your supposedly obligations any time.
Honestly, the Pelosi vote means as much to me as Sarah Palin's doings in Alaska, which is jack squat.
Pelosi is doing far worse to the country than questionable blathering about the CIA and waterboarding. Christ, everything about Pelosi is questionable, to say the least.
Can't say I am informed about Paul's vote. Paul is doing far more for the cause of freedom than anyone else I see in the House. Nonetheless, perhaps he doesn't see the public efficacy in hunting this particular witch.
To conflate Paul's desire not to abide bullshit distractions like this Pelosi sideshow, while the country's going to fiscal hell in a deficit handbasket as one example, as "authoritarian" is patently absurd. That is just one good reason of which I can think, he may have others.
Anyway, have a great holiday weekend!
Ummm... Eric dude, I am perhaps one of Paul's most infamous critics -- on actual libertarian grounds, not the far-right-fringe pro-war bullshit you try and pass off as "libertarian."
On a libertarian web site, people are going to critique people using libertarian talking points -- not right wing neoconservative ones about Nancy Pelosi. Sorry.
Perhaps you should start Delaware Neocon. Then you can blog rhapsodically.
