Donviti fired ... again

Maybe they'll leave this post up, unlike the previous one ["Donviti has been let go"] that was stripped down very very quickly.

It's personal issues, not policy differences, Delawardem assures us--even though it's fairly clear that dv's last ride into the sunset involved a rather explicit airing of policy differences with his colleagues and a criticism of their failure to hold President Obama to similar standards of performance or ethics as they did President Bush.

As noted in DD's piece about axing donviti, I have extended to him the same invitation I have sent Dana Garrett, Brian Shields, Anonone, and others: the opportunity to guest post here any time he'd like to do so. Yeah, this blog is named Delaware Libertarian, but any serious discussion of the issues of the day is welcome: the Delaware blogosphere seems intent upon self-implosion and a shake-out that will leave us with very few voices except those of extreme ideologues on all sides.

Meanwhile--as your thought for the day--ask yourself where can you travel in the Delaware blogosphere to find little or no consideration of America's increasingly militaristic foreign policy, of the Obama administration's continuation of the Bush war on civil rights protection in the Constitution, of the daily increasing influence of lobbyists, corporate groups, and Goldmann Sachs on our government, or the continual sell-out of America's LGBT community?

Here's your hint: you can find that absence of coverage where donviti's not.

I'm not a democrat and I have my views. I find it amusing their angst toward a little bitching at the kitchen table. Addition by subtraction I guess.

I hope the blog collapses into a miserable black hole and their readers continue to go elsewhere.

That'll never happen. They'll always have their handful of yo yo's who think that the majority of the nation thinks like they do just because their guy won the election. But in four years they'll find out, as usual, that the majority of the American people aren't as liberal as they believed.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....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

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
