Some quick hits on a bad day

No, it wasn't bad because yesterday was primary day.  I'll post on that probably tomorrow.  I'm having a wonderful day with a sinus infection, so here's a few tidbits to hold you over. . . .


1.  Mitt Romney's Afghanistan strategy is different from Barack Obama's, except that . . . they are both the same.  And they're both terrible.

2.  President Obama--that great advocate for civil liberties--believes that the government needs even more unaccountable surveillance powers.

3.  Democrats want Elizabeth Warren to retool her ads.  I wonder when they're going to figure that that she's just a bad candidate.

4.  Something really big hit Jupiter and exploded.  Which will get about as much press as the fact that President Obama has been the worst president for civil liberties in modern history (against stiff competition from W, but Barack has stayed the course to finish in first).

Oh-My-God! Steve. Are you even an American???

My gosh! We were attacked yesterday. And you call Romney an idiot for wanting to have a strong response to the attacks.

Hey Steve, I have an idea. Why don't you just hand our country over to the Islamists. Surrender Steve. I'm sure you'll do just fine under Sharia Law.

My gosh. I am this fucking close to ending our friendship. You suck dude. I am just ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED WITH YOUR COMMENT ON ROMNEY. A BIG FUCK YOU STEVE. A BIG FUCK YOU!

Eric, calm down.

Any friendship based on lies, needs to end. Steve is correct. You aren't

Romney has no plan. Period. Romney creates problems. Period. We need someone to solve them. Period. And it ain't Romney.

Your defense of him has me cracking up just thinking you think you are serious. It is like someone defending Bozo the clown as a good leader... I seriously doubt even one person takes you seriously.

You Romney follower you. The longer you stay, the worse you look. Just sayin' for your own good.

I originally came to the comment page to say thank you for number 4 Jupiter. I would have missed that. Seems like sometimes we are just too busy with junky politics and miss the real important things.

Thanks for the save...

That's why you weren't at the debates tonight. You missed my LP tirade. Get well soon, I need you for the next fighting round.

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 — ...

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...

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 ...
