Delaware Libertarian candidates golf for Wounded Warriors

On August 13 a foursome composed of Libertarian US House candidate Scott Gesty, his wife Maria, 7th District State Senate candidate Jim Christina, and 32nd District State House candidate Will McVay will be participating in The World's Largest Golf Outing to benefit The Wounded Warrior Project.

You can visit the Golf Outing website here, and hit the link to "Sponsor a Team."

In the name bar, enter "Libertarian" and Scott's name will pop up.

Please feel free to join me in donating to a great cause.

No matter what we may think about the policies that send them out there, America's military men and women put their lives on the line to defend us.  We have to support our troops and our veterans, especially the ones who came home to us disabled.

And remember, Libertarians--like all other Americans--are at their best when they are doing something to give back to their community.

As a Veteran I can tell you that the very best way to support the Troops is by supporting the Mission itself.

We Military Guys want VICTORY! with a capitol 'V'. We don't want to come home to a bunch of weenies sitting there telling us on our TV screens how "golly geez, the Iraq War was a mistake..." Or, "Islamo-Naziism is not threat to the U.S. If we just make friends with our enemies they'll leave us along, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

Let Military Guys be Military Guys. Don't turn us into a bunch of pansys with all this "peace" garbage. And lines like "support the Troops, don't support the Mission." You do that, and you are by definition anti-Military, whether you like to admit it or not.

First, I was in the military considerably longer than you--screw your little jingoistic lectures.

Second, the military goes where it is told, does what it is told to do. Civilians decide. That's the way the system works. Don't like it? Too bad.

Third, you have to have nothing else to do today if you are busy carpet-bombing here.

You want "jingoistic," it's called Islamo-Naziism. They're the warmongers. They started this. It happened in 1979, when these Islamists took our embassy in Tehran. They've been fighting us ever since, only we're too much of a patsy roll-over Nation to recognize it.

Bush recognized it for a couple years after 9/11. Yet he avoided attacking our main enemy the Saudis.

Bush used the term "Islamo-Fascism," one single time in his entire administration.

The jingoism is on the Islamist side. You can hear it in their chants of "Allahu-Ahkbar." And "kill the Infidel."

Too bad our ears are covered over, and we're too scared to hear what they are actually saying.

As for pulling rank, I go back to the original Delaware Libertarian Party. I was a candidate for DE State Legislature way back in 1986. I remember the original Delaware Libertarian Party, that was consistently Pro-Liberty. Back in the 1980s, the DE LP would have coiled over Islamo-Fascism. Would have supported policies to fight back.

Too bad the DE LP has been infiltrated by a bunch of weenie leftists, posing as "libertarians."

Oh please, tell me the secret history of the LPD. Starting with when this leftist takeover occurred. (hint, i joined the LPD before you did)

Yeah, and you got 86 votes (2.5%) in a 2-way race. That means the Democrats were voting for your Republican opponent instead of picking you as a protest vote!

Every other Libertarian who has ever run in a 2-way race in Delaware got at least 10% of the votes.

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?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

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...
