I was reading a Libertarian Party document from 2000 the other day that named a goal of fielding 218 LP candidates for the US House of Representatives; that it would be the first time since the 1800’s that a third party had competed for a majority in the House. I Expected to Find a lot […]

Why America Needs the Libertarian Party
Why America needs, nay, is crying out for, the Libertarian Party. At all levels, federal, state and local, government entitlements are outstripping the growth of the economy, making it impossible to ever pay for them all. We simply can not continue paying fortunes for people to not work. Sorry.

I’m Terribly Tired of Twitter
I’ve been twittering for several months now and frankly, I’m bored. Here’s why: The importance level of the information I get via Twitter is very low. There is precious little of value there. The volume level is way too high – even now that I only follow those who follow me. Keeping up is hard. […]
There is nothing wrong with earmarks. Earmarks are when members of Congress direct approved funds to be spent on a specific project, usually something that benefits their constituency. If they don’t earmark the funds, the bureaucrats decide how to spend them. I’d rather have my elected representative decide than an unfireable bureaucrat any day. In […]
