On “The American View,” Ron Paul hems and haws a bit about whether homosexuality is a “sin.” Sigh ….

I want so much to like Ron Paul but he keeps making it so hard …

V-Chip coming to a cell phone near you?
Posted in Libertarians, Nanny State, V-Chip on August 3, 2007 | 5 Comments »
My super hero name would have something to do with protecting inanimate objects from being banned. I am protector of all things loose, digusting, and uncared for. So when I read about a V-Chip for a cell phone, it looked like I was going to have to get back in to fighting shape.
Here’s a [...]
Unions in the New Economy

Note – Elyzabethe is on vacation for the next few days and will be spending that time sipping 40s out of brown paper bags and sitting on various porches in Ohio. What else is there to do in Ohio?
Last week Professor of Law and Economics at the University of Pennsylvania Law School published an [...]
party hackery at its finest, at least
Posted in Libertarians on July 10, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I was kind of excited when I saw this headline in The Washington Times today:
Libertarian ranks on rise; party lures ‘disillusioned’
I would be more excited if the executive director of the Libertarian National Committee was not the only person quoted in the article or predicting this alleged rise.
an ode to -isms: my feminist libertarian manifesto (or, I propose a truce?)
Posted in Feminism, Libertarians, Me on July 9, 2007 | 10 Comments »
Keep reading — this post is not as self-indulgent as the title may lead you to believe, I swear!
One of my favorite libertarian button/bumper-sticker slogans is, “Libertarians: Pro-Choice on everything.” Libertarians, as a whole, like choice. Know who else likes choice? Feminists. In fact, “choice” forms the basis for a lot rhetoric [...]
libertarians: manliest of all blog readers
Posted in Bloggers, Democrats, Internet, Libertarians, Republicans on July 6, 2007 | 2 Comments »
According to Mother Jones open-source politics issue, the median political blog reader is a 43-year-old man with a household income of $80,000 and 75 percent of political blog readers are male.
Seventy-five percent of the total political blogosphere audience is male? Because a good portion of the blogs I frequent are feminist blogs written by [...]
Paternalism: “I know you better than you do” says government
Posted in Libertarians, Nanny State, Tobacco on May 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s talk about Paternalism for a moment. This has been on my mind for a couple of days, triggered by a TV commercial regarding Ohio’s seatbelt law. Now, most people agree that wearing seatbelts in cars is good and people want to be safe while they are driving, but look at the big picture here. [...]
rantings on libertarianism … **
Posted in Libertarians on May 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I’ve been having a lot of frustrating conversations about libertarianism this week. First — and I suppose this isn’t really a conversation, per se, but whatever — a commenter told me:
You have to understand libertarian mind set. They feel like nothing should be changed by force. Abortion is changing the outcome of an event [...]
My problem with Ron Paul:
Posted in Libertarians, Reproductive Rights on May 20, 2007 | 19 Comments »
He’s all about “personal liberty,” but on his Web site, just a few paragraphs under “Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital,” it makes a point to note that he is anti-choice on abortion. Leading advocate for freedom and personal liberty, except where women are concerned?
And for [...]
Why’s everybody gotta hate on libertarians?

Ilyka’s got this great post at Pandagon about the preponderance of “experts” on the Internet who pop up in the wake of things like the Virginia Tech shootings or the Supreme Court abortion decision recently to tell you that THEY KNOW exactly why things happened or why things are good or bad or etc. [...]
ex-drug-warrior joins Marijuana Policy Project as lobbyist

Salon interview today about Ex-Republican Bob Barr, who formally joined the Libertarian National Committee as a regional representative in Dec. 2006. According to the interview, two weeks ago, Barr and several others founded a civil-liberties-protection group, the American Freedom Agenda, and last week, Barr (who apparently was once an anti-drug crusader in Congress) announced [...]

But Mommy, what about the others?
Posted in Democrats, Libertarians, Stupid Media Frenzy... on February 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So yes, I’ll admit it. I am not an Obama flag waving 20 something. Nor am I a bra burning Hillary addict. They are both way to liberal for my small pocketbook and both like to infringe on my ever decreasing personal rights.
But yes, Mom, what about the others? Two major news makers and not [...]

Jeff Taylor at hit-and-run joining the mounting snark over jon edwards hiring amanda marcotte as blogmaster comments on one of amanda’s duke-rape-case posts with this:
…. interesting in the same way that ramblings about CIA radio transmitters in your teeth are interesting — as a marker for raving moon-bats.

Is there anyone a girl can stand behind?

And there goes any hope for me ever voting for a Democratic candidate. At least there is one bright light . It’s really going to come down to what I deem the important issues of 2008.
does anyone know if they mention pirates in the bible? then we could apply the same argument…

In doing some lexis-nexis research on a completely unrelated topic, I came across this November op-ed from Bill Mayer in the Boston Globe, “A re-look-see at the Constitution.” Maybe I just like any mention of pirates, but I found it pretty damn funny:
There’s no out-of-the-box thinking in this country. If we were really looking [...]

New Republic tells libertarians to fuck off
I don’t blame libertarians for wanting more than the lesser of two evils. But, when your beliefs are wildly unpopular, supporting the lesser of two evils is about the best you can expect.
ouch.
why not start off a blog by jumping on the commentary bandwagon?
Posted in Blogging Bandwagon, Democrats, Libertarians on December 12, 2006 | 3 Comments »
At the risk of further contributing to a debate I’ve recently come to hate, I can’t help but muse on the whole recent “liberaltarian” conundrum. It’s an issue I feel like I’ve been reading incessantly about since David Boaz at Cato published “The Libertarian Vote” in October, and with Brink Lindsey’s coining of a term, [...]
