Discuss almost whatever you want in the comments here, other than stuff that would get you and/or IPR in legal trouble, or stuff that has already been quarantined in “special” threads.
This can include news items IPR should be covering, as well as just about anything else.
Personal update: I still don’t have enough time to post here regularly, unfortunately. 415-690-6352 if you need to get a hold of me (Paulie), or contact.ipr@gmail.com and/or comments on this thread (both if possible) for news tips to IPR. I’ll keep forwarding anything I receive that I think belongs on IPR to other IPR writers, but will not be posting articles myself, with rare exceptions like this one. I would also like to sign up some new people to help us post.
For those of you who have my personal email, in any situation where you can call me rather than emailing me or otherwise contacting me online, please use the phone, not the computer. Thanks!

Biden collecting rent from Secret Service
* RSS Rachel Rose Hartman | The Ticket – 2 hours
Biden (Riccardo De Luca/AP)
Joe Biden is a landlord to the Secret Service. That’s right.
The Washington Times reports that Biden has collected $13,200 from the Secret Service since April to rent a cottage adjacent to his Wilmington, Del., home and continues to charge the agency rent.
The Secret Service has agreed to pay $2,200 per month for use of the house in order to provide security to the Biden family, according to Edwin M. Donovan, special agent in charge at the Secret Service’s Office of Government and Public Affairs in Washington.
(By the way, that’s no discount on the rent–the Times reports that’s the amount paid by the previous tenant.)
Some of the watchdog types interviewed by the Times questioned whether the agreement is appropriate, especially given Biden’s deficit reduction leadership role.
Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for Citizens Against Government Waste, said there’s no question Biden deserves protection, “but this arrangement seems bizarre to me.”

Paulie why must you always be so hateful, why can’t you see the false idols you worship are nothing but stone! There is only one true God and his name is not Allah, Aqua Buddha, or Alan Keyes. His name is JESUS CHRIST and you should spend the rest of yout life in His holy service Bow down to the true God and smash your idols to your queen of sin Mary Ruwart!
Progressives and Libertarians are both liers and Catholic spies who systematic plan to undermind the Palestinian Swendenborgian community. The Socialist Worker Party was funded by the Catholic Church from it’s founding in 1938 until the mid-1960s when the Pope decided it was better to undermine the Kingdom of God on Earth, also know as Zion (America and more specifically Nauvoo. Illinois) by funneling money to Michael Harrington and Irving Kristol who would promote Jewish Zionism among American evangelical Christians. But it is well establish that one of the first attempts of the Catholic Church to attack America was by giving Jack Barnes several million dollars to found this organization he still runs today.
What’s needed in America is an anti-Zoinist, anti-”Gay”, pro-Bible, pro-Captain Beefheart union of black and white, rich and poor! Robert Milnes is a communist catholic homosexual who’s going to burn in hell, now you don’t want to burn in hell do you Paulie? Let the hate God has for all things related to human freedom inspire you to take on a mission to destroy all things Catholic, socialist, and libertarian!
Alan Keyes is a radical zionist and communist, all good Christians should oppose this evil man. He forced his own daughter into lesbianism and is a member of a sick cult that worships a pedofile and former Nazi. Every word he speaks is in praise of Satan, his god, and against the true Lord, Jesus Christ. Don’t let his lies confuse you and lead you into hell! By exposing her to a to the pedophile ridden “church” that champions all things satanic and is ran by a cheap salesman for Adolf Hitler and former concentration camp promoter Pope Benny he turned her over to the homosexuals. She probably was molested by one of the non-anus worshiping priests who preferred little girls to boys and turned her into sex fend for the rest of her life. Forcing a little girl to bow down and pray to a false female idol throughout her young life didn’t help the situation much either. Don’t let his lies fool you Paulie, he’s nothing more than an agent of the Devil!
You should be telling your readers the truth about Alan Keyes and that the man the Isrealis claimed was Adolf Eichmann and excuted in 1960 was no such person. He was an Argentinan watchmaker and sometimes Mormon missionary who happened upon documenties linking the Catholic Chruch and the Nazi Party in their joint efforts to destory Black Muslim groups like the Nation of Islam. Now being the cheif anti-Muslim avocates the Jews had to protect their former oppressors war crimes in order to prevent world opinion becoming aware of the great Nazi-Catholic crimes committed against the muslim people.

32 Catholic Trotskyist // Aug 1, 2011 at 10:36 pm
But more importantly, Concerned, I rebuke you unto the fires of purgatory for your destructive comments about the Catholic church, and my allies the Socialist Workers Party an dthe Mormon Church. Alan Keyes is in fact an agent of Ralph Nader and the corporate Protestant agenda to destroy the great plans of our Pope Benedict XVI and our Holy Lord President Barack Obama, for an end to abortion, an end to zionism and an end to world poverty. And while I’m not a libertarian, they are not part of world destruction conspiracies, with the possible exception of Wayne Root, and can be allies of the Catholic Trotskyist movement on foreign policy, drug policy and immigration issues. Amen.
33 Concerned Chuck and Hetro Harry // Aug 2, 2011 at 12:47 am
Catholic Trotskyist- Angels have visited me in dreams and told me that Donald Grudman does large amounts of cocaine and has pays for the services of Latin prostitutes on a regular basis. Such behavior is of course an awful sin and will land him in the lake of fire for all time. To make it worse he’s created the fake ‘Citizens for a Better Veterns Home’, of whom he is the sole member, in a half baked attempt to laundry money to fund his sinful habits. Donald Grudman is a sinner but he does have one thing going for him, he is not a libertarian nut job or Catholic.
I know you’re an agents of that Nazi pedofile with a pointed hat and his chief agent in this land Alan Keyes, Mister Catholic Trotskyist. Your perverse Roman Catholic Church has stolen the name of Christ’s Holy Church. The true Universal and Holy Church will be restored very soon though, when the Lord returns to judge his flock. All those in your false church will fall and be sent to hell! The punishment Donald Grudman will receive for his sins will be nothing compared to all those baptised into this evil cult! Christ will purge even their small children with his sword, anyone who has had contact with the tainted waters of the false church must be eliminated. The New Jerusalem will be built upon the blood of sinners and their children.
Deny it as much as you want- socialism, libertarianism, mormonism, and homosexuality are all products of your vile church’s attempt to destroy this holy nation. It is well documented. Every abortion committed, every social welfare program enacted, every child turned gay from watching gay ‘marriages’ on tv is on the hands of your Nazi overlord Pope Benny and his agent Alan Keyes! Divorce yourself from this sinful union, Catholic Trotskyist, with the Homosexual-Socialist-Libertarian-Mormon-Catholic Church or suffer the worse punishment Jesus will inflict onto you! You’ve already sinned far to much to ever be saved but perhaps if you repent the holy Lord Christ will lessen your punishments.
34 Concerned Chuck and Hetro Harry // Aug 2, 2011 at 3:33 am
I’m not sure if I made it clear but Donald Grudman and Donald Lake are the same people. Don is the gay lover of Mark Seidenberg and they claim they are very much in love behind closed doors despite all the fighting over the Constitution Party they do online. That’s all part of a sex fetish game they play, they become sexually aroused from debating right-wing third party politics. Yes, it’s sick. Yes, it’s sinful. And Yes, God will chop them up into little pieces and shove them up satans anus repeatedly for all of time for their crimes of homosexuality and general perversion.

Congress, [AND] tea party reach new low in poll
Political Reporter Chris Moody | The Ticket – 5 hrs ago [AND] Julie Jacobson (AP)
The marathon negotiations that led to the debt ceiling deal seemed to leave an indiscriminate trail of casualties in Washington.
And now a new opinion poll has proven as much, with public views on the debt showdown dealing severe hits to all parties–centrist compromisers and principled hardliners alike.
Not all the anger is necessarily aimed at Washington, however.
Public perception of the tea party movement, which many see as the driving force that kept Republicans from voting to raising the debt ceiling without implementing unprecedented spending reductions, is at a record low.

Israelis march for economic reform *
Ari Rabinovitch | Reuters – 4 hours ago
* Protesters shout slogans during a massive protest call for social justice, including lower property prices in Israel, at the centre of Tel Aviv August 6, 2011
Reuters – 4 hrs ago
TEL AVIV (Reuters) – A quarter-million Israelis
………. demands by the demonstrators, who in under a month have swollen from a cluster of student tent-squatters into a diffuse, countrywide mobilization of Israel’s burdened middle class.
“The People Demand Social Justice” read one of the march banners ………..
Police said at least 250,000 people took part in Saturday’s march in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities, a greater turnout than at marches on the two previous weekends.
Demonstrations on such a scale in Israel — population 7.7 million — have usually been over issues of war and peace.
Some 31 percent cited the stalled Middle East peace talks, Israel’s international image, or the need to bolster the armed forces.
Protests also deflated …….. celebration of Israel’s stability as citizen revolts rock surrounding Arab states.
“There has been nothing like this for decades — all these people coming together, taking to the streets, demanding change. It’s a revolution,” said Baroch Oren, a 33-year-old protest leader.
……. government has vowed to free up more state-owned land for development, build more low-rent housing and improve public transport.
It also wants to lower dairy prices with more imports and boost medical staff numbers to address demands by striking doctors.
But the demands submitted by the National Union of Israeli Students go much further ……..
………..the cabinet troubleshooting team, said a solution was required even if it “cost billions” at a time when Israel is watching the debt jitters of the United States and parts of Europe.
Israel’s debt burden is 75 percent of GDP, lower than that of most major Western economies.

You can blame Washington all you want, but take a look in the mirror, too …….
“The whole lot of them needs to be fired, regardless of party,” one writer to Prime Buzz, The Star’s political blog, opined this week.
One armchair commentator labeled Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver “a wretched hack.” Congressmen Kevin Yoder of Kansas and Vicky Hartzler of Missouri? “Faux conservatives.”
You. And you. And you and you and you.
I’ve hammered on this point before, but I’m not done. Chances are that you and you and you didn’t vote in your party primary last year. Or two years before that, either.
You were a no-show for elections that matter because it was too hot that August or you hadn’t paid much attention. But here’s the thing: Those who did take part were motivated, so they tended to be die-hard liberals or hard-core conservatives.
Many districts …………. are so tilted in favor of one party — thanks to insider dealing — that GOP nominees breeze to victory in Republican districts and Democratic nominees coast in Democratic districts.
So liberals and conservatives are winning lots of seats in Congress these days.
Kansas is just beginning its process with Republicans eager to extend their stranglehold on state politics.
It’s your right, of course, to blame it all on the “bad guys” in D.C. But here’s my two cents: Peek in the mirror first.

Defense Secretary’s Rebuke of NATO Fell Short
In 1951, General Dwight Eisenhower said that if U.S. troops were still stationed in Europe ten years later to protect American allies, then NATO “will have failed.”
During a speech last June in Brussels, retiring Defense Secretary Robert Gates took a parting shot at European members of the trans-Atlantic alliance, but he stopped short of calling it a failure.
Instead, he urged U.S. allies to step up to the plate, lest the political leadership in Washington decide that the United States should formally withdraw from the alliance.

http://www.salon.com/news/glenn_beck/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2011/04/06/beck_fox_done
HERE IS WHY Glenn Beck is done at FOX :
G. Edward Griffin commented that the New World Order was taking control of media outlets. Glenn Beck asked for an example.
G. Edward Griffin was too courteous to do what he COULD have done. He COULD have pointed out that Rupert Murdock controls Fox News, and is a member of the CFR.
Even though G. Edward Griffin was merciful on him, this was apparently too close for comfort.
There are plenty of lamp posts in this country.

The 5th edition includes G. Edward Griffin’s analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations.

The advantage to the press-preferred candidate of not asking the same question of every candidate (for the opposite, see the Libertarian debate I moderated) seems to have become visible. Ask yourself: How did Romney handle Republican Social lack-of-liberty positions?

US ALL Secretary regarding State Hillary Clinton has called for wider worldwide sanctions in Syria for the reason that government’s violent crackdown in dissent continues.
Mrs Clinton explained China and also India especially could enhance pressure for their energy investments.
She said america did not need to require Mr Assad to stand down without having the backing of other nations.
Activists point out the armed service killed no less than 24 folks on Thurs . and completely new protests flared right after dawn prayers on Comes to an end.
More than 1, 700 individuals have perished and tens of thousands of people get reportedly also been arrested because uprising resistant to the the 41-year tip of President Bashar al-Assad’s family began within March.

For those of you curious which Republican candidate our Libertarian Party gets to beat in 2012, here is the Iowa straw poll
Michele Bachmann: 4823
Ron Paul: 4671
Tim Pawlenty: 2293
Rick Santorum: 1657
Herman Cain: 1456
Rick Perry (write in): 718
Mitt Romney: 567
Newt Gingrich: 385
Jon Huntsman: 69
Thad McCotter: 35
There is a near-tie for the top-two and for positions 4 and 5.
Mr. Pawlenty’s campaign appears to be listing heavily and down by the bow. Rick Santorum appears to have paid careful attention to 2008 and the clever move of Rudi Sex on the City Giuliani: He trashed Ron Paul for not being a warmongering lunatic, thus getting the militarist vote. Cain’s comments on banning the construction of mosques brought out that part of the Republican vote. The Huntsman campaign is clearly dead, Romney appears little better off, and Pawlenty may or may not be joining them.

I hope that folks here know the vast different between the politics of Ron Paul and that of his son.
Ron Paul should be running with someone who is an enlightened conservative, or someone progressive. His son does not fit the bill.

He intentionally blew off this poll. He’s still considered a front runner. My bet is actually on Romney right now since none of the other front runners are previous runners up, VPs/candidates or sons of presidents.
The previous Republican nominees:
2008, McCain, 2000 runner up
2004, Bush, incumbent
2000, Bush, son of a Bush
1996, Dole, 1976 VP candidate
1992, Bush, incumbent
1988, Bush, VP
1984, Reagan, incumbent
1980, Reagan, 1976 runner up
1976, Ford, incumbent
1972, Nixon, incumbent
1968, Nixon, 1960 candidate and Eisenhower VP
1964, Goldwater, 1960 runner up
1960, Nixon, VP
1956, Eisenhower, incumbent
1952 appears to have been the last time the Republicans picked a candidate who was not one of the above criteria. Eisenhower was a victorious general in a major, declared war. No one like that on the horizon today – certainly not Bachmann or Perry.
Ron Paul might also fit the criteria of a 2008 runner up, but he is too far outside the Republican mainstream to be a serious contender for their nomination.
Thus, probably Romney.

@69 Good point on Romney. Of course, Giuliani was a leader until his first primary, too.
I found the Santorum result the most interesting, relative to expectations. I believe his debate performance accounts for that, especially how little time he was given in a television news fake entertainment propaganda debate.
73 paulie // Aug 16, 2011 at 4:36 pm
However, Giuliani did not fit the criteria covering previous Republican nominees. He was not a runner-up in a previous presidential nomination, nor had he been a vp OR vp candidate. Obviously he was not an incumbent, and self-image aside, he was not Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in a world war.
As for Santorum, it is likely that his presidential race is all about knocking spreadingsantorum.com out of the top spot in searches for his name

Lately I have not had very much time and/or internet access to post articles myself, and while there have been times such as the last couple of days when I could have, I don’t want to start back up unless I have a realistic expectation of being able to do it for more than a few days at a time.

It wasn’t. Many people mistakenly assume that if they get caught by the automated akismet spam filter that means they have been banned or censored. In fact, it simply means that the automated system made an error. We are currently getting well over 1,000 spam comments a day, so no one is going to look through those for anyone’s post if we don’t get alerted to that fact. If we do get alerted, it is up to a number of volunteers IPR wrters to decide whether it is worth their time to look through the spam filter and rescue someone’s comment or not.
Emailing us politely, rather than false assumptions and accusations, is a requisite first step if your comment gets mistakenly caught in the spam filter.

The Boston Tea Party National committee has voted (4-0 with 3 not voting)to endorse William “Bill” Barker in his campaign for Phoenix (AZ) City Council. Mr. Barker writes, “Government, at all levels, needs to start living within their means. If revenues decrease, then expenditures need to be cut, instead of raising taxes. Taking more money away from people who are already living on the edge is immoral. Using scare tactics by threatening to reduce essential services, like police and fire protection, instead of cutting nonessential “nice to have programs” is not the way things should be done.”
Bill is running on a platform to reduce the size, scope & power of the city government. In 2010 the BTP endorsed his write-in campaign for Arizona State Representative (District 6).
The Boston Tea Party was founded in 2006 with a one sentence platform, “The Boston Tea Party supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose.” In October 2008, the party’s National Convention adopted the four point program of the Campaign for Liberty. Their program calls for an end to overseas occupation, a restoration of privacy and other liberties, no increase in the national debt, and a thorough review of the Federal Reserve. During the 2010 convention the Party adopted a new program to End the Wars of Aggression, End the Fed, End the War on Drugs, End the Abuses of Liberty, End the Immigration Fiasco.

The Ticket: Survey’s surprising finding: tea party less popular than atheists and Muslims
By Rachel Rose Hartman, Political Reporter
……………..in the New York Times, Robert D. Putnam, a professor of public policy at Harvard, and David E. Campbell, a political scientist at Notre Dame, say they have collected data indicating that the tea party is “less popular than much maligned groups like ‘atheists’ and ‘Muslims.’”
But Campbell says the tea party was really an afterthought in their research.
“We didn’t go into this study to look at the tea party,” Campbell said in an interview with The Ticket.
The professors were following up on research they conducted in 2006 and 2007 for their book “American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us” and decided to add the tea party and atheists to their list of survey queries.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what our current two-party system does, and that is why we believe that the two-party political system no longer has a place in our 21st Century Republic.
Instead, we believe it is time to move our country forward by embracing non-partisanship and opening up the entire political process to include independents.
We believe that the well-being of our nation depends on unity rather than divisiveness, and doing away with partisan politics and ideologies will help make that unity possible.

Perry needs to make good on a promise that he cannot possibly keep, the simple fact is that there is really no impact on the law that might result from such an executive order.
Perry is not the first GOP candidate to attempt to bamboozle his audience with such nonsense.
Michele Bachmann has promised to single-handedly take down the law right after she gets gas prices down under $2.00 a gallon.

[President] Cheney had a secure, undisclosed resignation letter
Mike Krumboltz | The Ticket – 10 hrs ago
Former Vice President Dick Cheney kept a secret resignation letter locked in a safe in case he ever became incapacitated while in office.
He had suffered four heart attacks when he signed the letter in March 2001. He suffered another in 2010.
In an interview with NBC News to help promote his forthcoming memoir, “In My Time,” Cheney said that only two other people knew of the letter’s existence.
“I did it because I was concerned that–for a couple of reasons,” Cheney told Jamie Gangel in an interview that will air August 29 on “Dateline.”
And there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who can’t function.”

It was sure the on going muddling, snarking, games playing of master befuddler Phillies more that my ALLEGED lack of mastery of reading comprehension!
You are known to the west side AIP types to be way less than ‘fair and balanced’ in your responses.
In the texting age you criticize my grammar, with or with out my swap meet Romanian spell checker and or auto correct.
Not one world on flirty Nevadan Lib Grrl trouncing of 20th traditional American English —— which is getting mauled and evolved by the 21st Century as we type.
I am not going to flirt with you to gain your good graces. Especially when your kindergarten level hijinks in running the thread numbers up on superficial items is most unbecoming.
Haven’t you noticed that the on going mantra of Lib types, especially you, Phillies and Knapp is ‘meant to say’, ‘I meant’, ‘I really mean’ *agent provocateur sinister chuckling in the background* and in my case personally and locally, being paid back moneys taken under false pretense.
You have incidence after incidence where I have been seconded as being 100% correct. You are mute when the Cody Quirk types lambaste my non public parents.
I will not silently allow false hoods to be said, especially ’bout me.
That being said, I could have been mistaken by snarkie George Phillies ‘I meant to say’ and his muddy, muddy comment(s) as with snarkie slants by NewFed.
If NewFed wants to throw out a HARM LESS joke at my expense, then there are *ways* in dicting such.
If I was mistaken by Doctor Phillies’ missive ——– it was not for the first time. My lack of comprehension or Phillies’ on going games playing ????????
I sure have my opinion! Since personal mail and phone calls as early as 2008 I have red flagged Phillies honesty and sincerity.
I have documented Cody’s disruptive behavior and loose cannon ability in high school, college and the California AIP.
Now his own friends and family ‘call him out’ in Nevada. He has no official spokes model duties in the state IAP.
I did not mean to be cryptic ’bout the Codester. The truth is MUCH more entertaining.
I was trying to be efficient and effective. I was merely putting the DOCUMENTED, VERIFIED word out on Quirk and then get into my unity party post / repost.
If I start posting stuff each little tid bit at a [separate time], you be sure to criticize me on that, too!

I really don’t care about your grammar (mine is certainly less than perfect). What matters is that you make yourself understandable – something you frequently don’t do – and understand what others are saying. In this case, you clearly did not.
I have no problem understanding what she writes, and vice versa. As far as I can tell no one else generally has a problem understanding her either.
Thank you, but I’m not interested.
No idea what you are talking about. I do not care about running up thread numbers.
I’ve corrected Cody before. Last time I recall doing so, you thought I was attacking you.
Nothing muddy about it. You were mistaken, and his comments were in no way muddy.
No, your poor reading comprehension.
You made yourself unclear.
You can post unrelated subjects in the same comment and still logically separate them to make your meaning understandable. Other people manage it all the time.

Don Lake @ 121: What’s your point on this? That doesn’t change the fact the Cheney is a war criminal who should be in prison.

[a] Like the late Edith Wilson, I consider Cheney as an unofficial president and in need of constant examination. Especially by the ‘Loyal Opposition’!
[b] could not agree with you more!
[c] at least Dead Eyed Dick would not have lingered with the kindergarters to know the ending of the kiddie book! [like George W Dipwad, on September 11th, 2001.]
[d] Low ranking officials, one after the other, spent the summer warning of strange arab flight students ………

And what has happened since 2010? Let’s look at the record.

Since 1941 the growth of local, state, federal, and even international government has been explosive. Exponential —— not geographic!
The message of LP has been so needed!
The impact of Lib ‘boots on the ground’ ??????????
Let’s look at the record!

We don’t have a baseline of comparison for what things would be like now if libertarians had not pushed back against big government trends.

Not an unqualified endorsement,
” we have some ambitious goals ahead of us, but building a new political party from the ground-up is nothing short of an ambitious effort.
Don’t confuse being ambitious with being unrealistic.
This is totally within reach and if there were ever a point in history at which the status quo were vulnerable to disruption, we’re at that point.
All we need are a few committed people who believe in themselves and their ability to create change.
I look forward to working with you all and please expect more frequent updates in the future.

Do they have a million dollars? If the answer is no, they are very unlikely to get on the ballot in California. If the answer is yes, they don’t get very much for their efforts, thanks to the reprehensible “top two” (better known as Top One) system enacted by misled voters.

AN LNC LP.ORG front statement to the public, apparently a press release, read in part
That should be enough to give the flavor of the current National Committee leadership.
137 paulie // Aug 31, 2011 at 5:19 pm
@136
It is not a press release.
Each LNC member can post whatever they want to the LP blog. They don’t have to clear it with anyone first, and they speak only for themselves (though readers may be forgiven for getting the opposite impression).
Press releases are on the left side of the page. Blog posts are in the middle, and identify their authors. Press releases have a different format than blog posts.

Here’s what we said in 2010:
Part One: Our Present Situation
The Opportunity
We Libertarians face a golden political moment. We simply need to take advantage of the situation we have been handed. One of our political opponents, the Republican Party, launched a war of conquest. No, not the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq. The Republicans invaded and conquered a new corner of the Nolan Chart. That’s right, they marched down from their traditional conservative position to conquer the old authoritarian quadrant. Their erstwhile foes, the Democrats, are following in their footsteps.
That invasion is a huge opportunity for us. On issue after issue, the other two political parties have taken clear stands, stands that are the opposite from our positions and the opposite from the considered beliefs of the American people.
The Republicans are earning their reward for their efforts. Most Americans know that the Republican Party is the party of overage white male bigots whose thoughtful approach to the every issue is pounding on their chests. Young people reject the Republican Party by two-to-one or more. Persons of color and recently arrived ethnic minorities reject Republicans by up to 15-to-1. Now many of those people are starting to notice that while they loathe Republicanism, they don’t like Democrats that much, either.
Republicans have become the opposite of Libertarians. Democrats are not far behind the Republicans.
The opposite?
Consider the characters of Atlas Shrugged. The heroine of the piece is an engineering CEO. Her boyfriend is a materials scientist and industrialist. Another hero invents a cloaking ray. Even a major villain is a physicist. All these people are deeply engaged with science, engineering, and physical reality.
Compare those heroes with that Republican paladinette, Sarah Palin, a woman who rejects evolution and global warming, and claims that abstinence works as birth control for teenagers. Her stands are immensely popular with her many supporters, the legion of the belligerently ignorant who reject science, engineering, and reality in favor of delusion and conspiracy theory. And the Democratic Party is afraid to challenge Republicans on their nonsense.
Republicans have ceased to be conservative, too.
A half-century ago, conservatives believed that the Constitution was a functional document with working checks and balances. It was a Republican Attorney General who dragged American citizen Jose Padilla from the streets and locked him up in a military prison without trial or access to lawyers. Republicans wiretapped every phone call in America, without a warrant. The Democrats did nothing to protest.
Conservatives believe in smaller government. When the Cold War ended, Republicans drove military spending up to a trillion dollars a year. President Obama campaigned to enlarge the Army and Marine Corps even further. That’s the Republicans and Democrats, hard at work gorging their defense welfare clients, the bomber builders and the tank makers, all with your tax dollars.
Consider that least controversial of topics, the treatment of prisoners of war. When our 2010 candidate for Chair, George Phillies, went through Army Basic Training, forty years ago, the message was simple: Obey the Golden Rule. We protect the POWs in our hands, so that our POWs in their camps will also be protected.
Republicans support torture. Republicans support military kangaroo courts. Republicans reject the Geneva Conventions. And the Democrats? President Obama would rather ‘move on’ than investigate the hideous crimes of the Republican torturers.
At the Federal level, conservative Republicanism has been replaced by nationalist Republican socialism. At the Federal level, conservative Republicans are practically extinct. A few stray conservatives flutter hither and thither, but their numbers are so small they have no hope of progeny.
142 Will the LNC Honor the JudComm Action? // Aug 31, 2011 at 8:39 pm
It is now 5+ days and counting since the Judicial Committee ruled, and the LNC has yet to obey the ruling by restoring the link to its Oregon affiliate’s web pages.
143 Brian Holtz // Aug 31, 2011 at 10:50 pm
Note that at this writing there is no link to lp.org on lporegon.org. However, it does say:
“Attempted Coup Raises Concerns About National LP — A failed attempt at a bureaucratic coup of the Libertarian Party of Oregon raises a large number of questions. The primary of which is, who exactly is in control of the Libertarian National Committee?”
144 Thomas L. Knapp // Sep 1, 2011 at 2:14 am
@142,
I think I must have missed two things:
1) The bylaws section which requires lp.org to link to all affiliates’ web sites; and
2) The part of the Judicial Committee’s ruling ordering implementation or restoration of such a link.
145 George Phillies // Sep 1, 2011 at 9:00 am
It is now 5.5+ days since the Judicial Committee ruling, and the LNC has yet to do the things that would restore affiliate status to Oregon.
146 paulie // Sep 1, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Which things, besides the web link?
