The X-Rated Voter Guide

Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 12th 2008  

Sometimes government incompetence is funny:
Voters’ Pamphlet typo points to adult sex line
A mistyped phone number just inside the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet is now drawing some unwanted attention to the upcoming election.
Voters’ Pamphlets just started hitting mailboxes across Oregon last week, and each county has its own version. But one phone number that’s inside every copy [...]

The Purpose of Government

Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 12th 2008  

The Alabama Constitution contains a section that pretty well sums up what government should be:

Objective of government.
That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression.
Too bad it fails to [...]

Banning Smoking in Cigar Bars

Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 2nd 2008  

An outrageous smoking ban in the “Live Free or Die” state:
Citing faulty “science ” about the deadliness of secondhand smoke, New Hampshire lawmakers inexplicably smothered an exemption for cigar bars from the state’s smoking ban. Gubernatorial hopeful Rep. Joseph Kenney quipped, “New Hampshire government would eliminate small business in the northern part of the state.”
Yes you read that [...]

A Ron Paul-less Freedom Fest?

Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 2nd 2008  

Despite being all over their website, I hear that Ron Paul might not be speaking at FreedomFest in Las Vegas this July.  (The Revolution March is that weekend.)
I spoke with someone from FreedomFest today who said that while there is a scheduling conflict they are trying to rearrange the schedule to get him there.
I attended [...]

The Revolution: A Manifesto

Posted by Patrick Semmens in April 30th 2008  

I was fortunate to get my hands on an early version Dr. Paul’s “The Revolution: A Manifesto” almost two months ago. The book is a magnificent, concise, compelling… a approachable yet radical call for peace and freedom.
The book is officially released today and is currently number one on Amazon.com.
The most hopeful thing about Paul’s [...]

The Battle for the LP Nomination

Posted by Patrick Semmens in April 29th 2008  

David Weigel examines all the contenders and pretenders for the Libertarian Party’s nomination.
(For a bit of history on how one wins the LP nomination, I recommend the late R.W. Bradford’s classic account of the 2004 convention that resulted in dark horse Michael Badnarik’s nomination.)

DEA Propaganda

Posted by Patrick Semmens in April 29th 2008  

The following is word for word from one of the DEA’s website many propaganda websites:

A word about prohibition: lots of you hear the argument that alcohol prohibition failed—so why are drugs still illegal? Prohibition did work. Alcohol consumption was reduced by almost 60% and incidents of liver cirrhosis and deaths from this disease dropped [...]
