Libertarian Party of Delaware: New Castle and Kent County meetings upcoming

The Libertarian Party of Delaware won't get far if it doesn't attract willing participants.

Here's two opportunities for you [both courtesy the LPD listserv].

For New Castle County

The halfway point of the winter heating season, so we should have a meeting: 6:30pm Panera, Kirkwood Highway and Duncan Road [Sunday, January 20].

We need to meet to organize each of you to re-register Libertarian after the primary so LP party status is not lost. You also need to be registered Libertarian (in Delaware) so you can hold a LPD officer position and run for office in the coming election cycle.

Come demonstrate your leadership skills and ambition and herd these cats to move mountains. In tribute to Federal earmarks, we'll also pass a hat to raise money for a mole hill preserve. Contribute now to save your future tax dollars. Otherwise you can be sure the mole hill preserve will be earmarked for federal funding in the next budget cycle. You do however risk that your contributions may make the project eligible for federal matching funds.

For Kent County:

Libertarian Delawareans and others,

January Kent County meeting will be customary 3rd Tuesday, Jan. 16, in Touchdown Restaurant and Sports Pub, a short distance south of Dover proper between U.S. 13 and South Governors Avenue near Rodney Village. Nominal start time is 7 p.m. All interested persons are cordially invited to attend.

Delaware Libertarian, which is sort of like using the Royal "we" for Steve, will try to be in attendance for at least one of these.

Come on out.

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 ...
