We will not disarm. You cannot convince us. You cannot intimidate us. You can try to kill us, if you think you can. But remember, we'll shoot back. Your move. -- Mike III |

November 09, 2009 ![]() Libertarian Commentary on The News 01 - 07 November By Nathan A. Barton © 2009 Please
remember that next Wednesday, 11 NOV 2009, is the 91st anniversary of
Armistice Day, and is Veterans Day (Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth
Nations).
It is an important and appropriate day to remember all those that have died in wars, especially the 100 million plus who died in wars at the hands of governments and the estimated 100 million plus MORE who were killed by governments of both the "left" and the "right" in the 20th Century. It is a day to remember the awful cost of war and of the loss of our liberties which leads so often to war, and of the "blood of patriots and of tyrants" which must be used to water the tree of liberty because we weak, pitiful, and spineless humans refuse to treat God's great gift of liberty (and all His other gifts) as we should. Honor those who fought honorably and died or have given time, limbs, sanity, and more for the causes for which they fought, even if the causes were wrong - even if the results were not what they wanted or fought for. And as a day of remembrance, think about how foolish the United States was to even enter the Great War - a war which was fought between various groupings of European Imperial powers and which should never have been joined by the United States, and how the US interference in that war did NOT make it "the war to end all wars" or to "make the world safe for democracy." Indeed, it can be argued that US involvement sadly, ultimately led to the greater holocaust of the Second World War, and the deaths and maiming of millions more, including tens of thousands of Americans. Remember our mistakes of the past, so that if we have to fight and kill and die in the future, it will be for liberty and for our own cause and not that of others.

did he run?" This
question thrusts itself upon us every time an unarmed or otherwise
harmless person is gunned down while fleeing from police. Often that
inquiry takes the form that assumes the guilt of the victim: "If
he did nothing wrong, why did he run?" It's also common for that second
version to contort itself into a nicely circular argument: "Well, he
ran, and resisting arrest is a crime, so obviously he got what was
coming to him."
For reasons unclear to a mind not enthralled by statist assumptions, most people simply assume that both reason and morality dictate an unqualified duty to surrender without cavil or complaint whenever armed, violence-prone strangers in peculiar government-issued garb seek to restrain one of us. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.) My understanding of the process by
which government has grown in the
United States and many other countries since the late nineteenth
century is not easy for me to summarize briefly. It involves (1) a
structural-ideological-political process operating in a persistent
manner to produce long-term trends, (2) a crisis-ideological-political
process operating during a series of discrete episodes of “national
emergency,” and (3) interactions between these two processes, which
should not be understood as independent of one another, but as
identifiable aspects of the single herky-jerky historical evolution ―
sometimes regular, sometimes erratic ― of a politico-economic order.
One upshot of this complex process might be seen if we were to examine
a series of “snapshots” at, say, thirty-year intervals. Each snapshot
would show us a society with a different composition of economic
activities, production techniques, occupations, demographic attributes,
and so forth, a different composition of ideological identifications,
understandings, and loyalties, and a different configuration of
political leanings, organizations, and institutions reflecting these
structural and ideological differences.

Examiner "Justice" is what we call the attempt to take an individual who has been harmed and correct the damage. It has nothing to do with "punishment" except in the sick minds of statists. If the aggressor himself can correct the situation, that is great, but it is not the necessary end-purpose of "justice". Justice never involves harming those who had nothing to do with the original offense. And "justice" never involves punishing someone who has no victim.

![]() Dallas Libertarian Examiner Lone wolves in libertarian clothing By Garry Reed Jim Lark, writing in the November issue of
Libertarian Strategy Monthly, tells about running into "lone wolf
libertarians," whom he defines as people who "live in an area that they
believe is devoid of fellow Libertarians."
He then tenders his tenfold list of things these lonely lobos can do to offer value to the Libertarian cause. Or, more precisely, to the Libertarian Party. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return
