Libertarian
Commentary on The News 24 - 30 August Rally Week II is this week – the Sugar Pine Ranch hosts the Four Corners Rally! It occurs to me that the solution to the problems with dumps like Beijing and Athens with all their government-funded (that is, theft-funded) venues and poor bottom lines is to have the Olympics at a better location. Furthermore, far too many of the events have little or no drawing power. Yeah, we have baseball now, and a lot of guys drool over the synchronized swimming – but it is still too Stalinist for me! (Imagine what a Third Reich synchronized swimming team would have been like.) Therefore, I propose that Sturgis be made the permanent home of the Summer Olympics. It would require that we add some NASCAR venues to Sturgis, but that would work well between Sturgis and Whitewood. And frankly, hill-climbs and motocross events are a LOT more exciting to watch than swimming laps. Doing dressage with hogs, and watching the Iron Pigs go head-to-head with Hell’s Angels doing mounted synchronized swimming would be great! (Read the rest here)
Improvised
Munitions, Inc. Mark “Kraut” Mueller was 52 years old, old enough to know better than to play around with improvised munitions. The fact that he had quietly enjoyed this hobby since 1968 when he first got access to serious chemicals after his sophomore science teacher picked him as a lab assistant was known to a very few people. The fact that the FBI knew it as well would not have concerned Mueller very much. He had been very careful over the years not to cross the line of criminal conspiracy, and prior to this day had been more interested in preserving his knowledge and ability to build improvised explosive devices than in actually making them. It was a skill that he always held back UNTIL. Well, now “until” had come. (Read the rest here)
Drawing
a Hardline in the Sand Proving that all bureaucracies, wherever they breed and multiply, inevitably expand beyond their initial mission statements, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps announced its intention to begin patrolling the 4,000-mile US-Canadian border in an attempt to stop illegal immigration from that northern neighborhood. Minutemen volunteers, according to news reports, "park themselves in lawn chairs on the US side of the border, with binoculars and cell phones, ready to report illegal entrants." "It's not about being a vigilante," Mark Forrest assures us from his lookout post in Oregon. (Read the rest here) Senator
Biden's VAWA Cover-Up
Amidst the hoopla surrounding Sen. Joseph Biden's ascendancy to the right hand of Barack Obama, something was curiously missing. Over the last 15 years, Biden has repeatedly bragged to his friends and colleagues, "What I'm most proud of in my entire career is the Violence Against Women Act." So why no mention of his legislative pride-and-joy amidst the flurry of text messages, press releases, and staged public appearances? The answer is, VAWA has become something of an embarrassment to the good senator. (Read the rest here) External
Articles Is voting a necessity for a free society or simply busy-work for the unwashed proletariat, completed while the rulers continue to do what they’ve always done? Russell Langcore’s recent column reminded me that this question has, thankfully, pretty much been decided among radial libertarians. However, he also reminded me of a couple of issues that almost always come to the fore when one discusses voting. A Really Short Answer for a Relatively Short Question Here’s the question: Do I vote? Here’s the answer: No. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.)
The
Future of Freedom Foundation So Barack Obama, the man who promises to reform Washington, has picked as his running mate someone who has been a fixture of the U.S. Senate nearly his entire adult life. Sen. Joseph Biden of course had no trouble accepting the honor. Insider, outsider — he’s whatever you’re looking for. Well, that’s politics.

The
Independent Institute Well, maybe it’s not really so funny, especially if someone you care about has been killed or wounded in the recent fray in the South Caucasus, but corporate shareholders who are heavily invested in U.S. military-contractor stocks are laughing all the way to the bank. In their world, nothing makes for success as much as a little shooting and looting in a U.S. client state next door to Russia. Everyone who has spent more than five minutes perusing the data on U.S. military contracts understands that the big bucks are still to be made in the production of high-tech, cutting-edge, whiz-bang weapons platforms of the sort that enriched several generations of contractors during the Cold War. But—damn it!—the Cold War had the impudence to dry up and blow away back in the early 1990s, seemingly never to return. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website.

From The Ludwig von Mises Institute It is long past time for both of these parties to admit it. They won't of course, so it is incumbent on the rest of us to at least recognize it for what it is. It is often said that there is not a dime's worth of difference between the parties, but there is little reflection on what precisely they have in common. It comes down to a love of some version of dictatorship, of which they believe they will be the administrators. What is the alternative? It is pure liberty, a word that is used only as a slogan in public affairs these days. By liberty, I mean only one kind: a life without badgering from the state. There is nothing on God's green earth that the state can do better than we can as individuals and communities and voluntary associations. What I mean by liberty is no more or less than firing the state as the administrator of society. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.)
