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.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

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?
