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 — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
