Obama administration takes rare pro-freedom stance ...

... on unlocking cell phones.

this strikes me as more of a populist move than a pro-freedom effort.

I think his staff said, "hey, our phones are unlocked.... no one uses locked phones anymore"...

"President Barack Obama has the legal authority to unleash deadly force—such as drone strikes—against Americans ----on U.S. soil--- without first putting them on trial, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in a letter released Tuesday."

You better keep your phone locked.

Why do you like to censor what people have to say? You are just like big government.

I don't censor people. I cut off trolls, You are a troll.

How is that different from big government? Simple: I own this blog. I make the rules because it is my property.

You have no inherent right to speak here, especially when you are not trying to communicate, but are trying to destroy.

Don't like it? Go start your own blog and see if you can attract an audience.

First off son. My name is not Jim its Ed and I have every right to post here just like everybody else. You call yourself a Libertarian but act as a fascist. If you want to call me a troll then God Bless you. Since it seems to make you feel good to call citizens who don't agree with you trolls. And then you try and act like you know who someone is. It seems like you're favorite name to use is Jim. Well son I will be back to post or as you call it troll. And if you block my name I will just use a different name.
Whatever you say, "Ed."

You've got as much "right" to post here as anyone--which is to say whatever rights I give you. This blog is private property, and if you were actually a Libertarian you'd know that means I have the absolute right to do any damn thing I like with your comments.

Want me to leave your comments up? Then post something that has something to do with the post you are commenting on, and stop posting crap about other people that has nothing to do with them.

Otherwise go the hell away or quit whining. Your choice--just remember--when you piss me off it takes less time to delete them than it does for you to write them.

Sounds like someone didn't pass basic civics ...

It seems to me that nobody gives a rat's ass what you think, Jim.

(And if you are "Ed," stop using Jim's IP address.)

By the way, you are done for the evening here.

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?
