Typical John Carney: attends LGBT fundraiser and doesn't say a damn thing about marriage equality

The Washington Blade has the story of Jack Markell, Beau Biden, and John Carney attending the fundraiser put on by the Delaware Stonewall Democrats.

Quotes from Markell and Biden, but nothing from Carney.

Here's the million-dollar sentence that tells you everything you need to know about John Carney's position on marriage equality:

Biden joined Markell in expressing support for a same-sex marriage bill in Delaware.

"Biden joined Markell"?

Where the hell is John Carney?

Where he has always been on marriage equality--hiding.

If you are LGBT, or if you support Marriage Equality, then you need to think about voting for the only political party in Delaware whose candidates are actively trying to make that happen.

And you need to think about Scott Gesty, Congressman Carney's Libertarian opponent, who has signed the Libertarian pledge to support Marriage Equality.

This year there is only one choice for the US House if marriage equality matters: Scott Gesty.

Support the Scott Gesty "Dog Days of August" Money Grenade, and Scott will support you in Washington DC!

Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D) expects his state to take up marriage equality in the next legislative session.

WASHINGTON -- Delaware could legalize marriage equality next year, according to Gov. Jack Markell.

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...
