Is The Libertarian Idea Alive and Well?

Is The Libertarian Idea Alive and Well?

I know it is in many of us. A lot of my friends who pay attention realize that both the Democrats and Republicans are after the same thing, control, they just use different tactics, and have taken different angles on how to get their foot in the door of liberty. Both have been very successful.

5/16/08 Huckabee and His NRA Gaffe Will Likely Be Overblown

What A Joke.
Mike Huckabee made quite the gaffe this afternoon at an NRA Conference when he joked about an Obama “Hold-Up”.

As a libertarian, I’m in favor of a relatively open border. The major difference I have with the LP is that I believe we should know who is coming, and have the right of refusal. I’ve written that a wall wouldn’t keep me out, that this is a problem only Mexico can really solve, [...]

Pork Barrel Spending: Why is it so bad?

According to the Chinese calendar, 2007 is the Year of the Pig. We hear about “Pork Barrel Spending” or “earmarks” all the time when we hear about congressional spending. Supposedly this is when a representative sets aside an amount of money to send to a special project in his or her district.

Cindy Sheehan: Iraq, And The Conservative Bias

My compadre, on The Hawg Pen, Reg-E recently blogged about Cindy Sheehan, and her run for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s seat in Congress.
He explained that her only issue is the war, and that that isn’t reason enough to vote for her.
