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?

The entire universe is slamming Paul Ryan these past couple days for being an "extremist capitalist," "Ayn Rand fanatic," a "tool" of 1980 Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential candidate David Koch, and a "cut government at all costs Tea Party Libertarian." And little ole' Delaware Libertarian blog says "he's really not a Libertarian." So, I guess Delaware Libertarian trumps everyone else in the media.
LOL. You can't make this shit up.
Chris Matthews just called Paul Ryan "an Ayn Randian" fanatic who wants to slash Medicaid, and kill off all entitlement programs.
Just good manners, something I suspect the folks at Delaware Libertarian can appreciate.
The whole point of this post is that, by his actions, he is clearly no friend to libertarians.
Why should we care what the "Liberal Media" that you so often rail against think? Why do you?
Go away dude. Leave us libertarians alone!
Have the courage of your convictions and post under your real name.

I'm going to become a dedicated reader and frequent commenter on Libertarian Republican.
Scum.
This blog is for Delawareans, not national campaign rejects and sycophants.
Go spew your worthless drivel elsewhere.
But in later years she refrained from attacking Libertarians.
Oh, and this little side note, interesting, I went to Hebrew School for 6 years with Jack Markel, now Governor of Delaware. And his - hot! - sister was my Hebrew School teacher for two years in the late 1970s.
GO BLUE ROCKS!!!
DOGFISH HEAD (from Milton, Delaware) IS THE ONLY BEER I DRINK!!!

I choose to shorten it at times to just Eric Dondero. Gotta problem with that?
But I do have problems with: Your aggressively ignorant bigotry; your absurd misunderstanding of libertarianism & complete intolerance toward anyone who doesn't share it; your long history of pissing off and alienating everyone you come in contact with; the depths to which you will descend to avoid answering a simple question; your tendency to be the first to introduce name-calling and foul language into otherwise civil discourse and to dismiss anyone who dares to disagree with you an "islamofascist" or some similar complete non sequitur; and finally, your glorification of militarism and desire to involve the U.S. in every possible or imaginable war.
but congratulations, you've been abnormally civil and polite so far today.
are you back on your meds or something?
All I'm trying to do is win the libertarian movement back to the days of John Hospers, Dana Rohrabacher, Jack Wheeler, Darlene Brinks, and the more pro-defense/Pro-America viewpoint.
I served my country for 4 years in the United States Navy. Where and when did you serve?
If you didn't serve asshole, I WOULD THANK YOU FOR THANKING ME FOR MY SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
If you're too much of a pussy-boy to handle Military talk, than I suggest you go find yourself a little spa there somewhere's on the northside of Wilmington, that will paint your toenails, and put cucumbers in your eyes, while listening to Barry Manilow music.
Us real men will hang out here at Delaware Libertarian while your getting your toenails clipped and your bottom of your feet scrubbed.
I'll defend libertarians, but when the media paints some asshole I can't stand as a libertarian when I know full well that he isn't, I will distance myself from the asshole, not defend him just because Chris Matthews and his ilk decide to lump us together. What you seem to be missing, Eric, is that they're using Paul Ryan to discredit libertarians, not using the "libertarian" label to discredit Ryan.
