The libertarian in me agrees

How is this guy libertarian...

...and what the frack is wrong with a so called Libertarian Party that keeps nominating him.

Gary Johnson Backs CO2 ‘Fee’ To Fight Global Warming

He's not a Libertarian...

...just an idiot.

Bill Weld Just Compared AR-15s to “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” & Said Pistols Were Even Worse!

Libertarian my a$$.

Libertarian VP Candidate Video; Gun Ban for Terror Watch List, Rifles are "Weapons of Mass Destruction"

It would have been nice for the Libertarian Party to nominate an actual libertarian candidate. Instead we get Gary Johnson and William Weld. I won't be voting for either since I can't trust either on the Second Amendment.

Just because...

...it's true.

Herding Cats

Libertarians.

Yet another reason I like Clint Eastwood.

And Then There Were None

I finished re-reading Eric Frank Russell's And Then There Were None. It's an excellent read and the society Russell created here is attractive as hell but as with must Utopian visions there is a problem. In the story it only works because the Terrans have rules that control how they interact with a new world. They can't meet violence unless faced with it and they follow their rules. That's a kind idealism governments never follow. The rules are for the little people. Maybe add a bit of the libertarian's armed pacifism and you might get a different result. Then again, it would probably still be like herding cats.

You can read the novelette here.

Another long night

Ceres by L. Neil Smith is a sequel to Pallas. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. More please. You can find it here and here.

Sixty-six years ago today...

...L. Neil Smith was born. I also just happened to notice and purchase his latest novel, Sweeter Than Wine.

Well I know what I'm doing later.

Watching Lady Magdalene's by J. Neil Schulman. Schulman is a damn fine writer of pro-gun and pro-liberty fiction and non-fiction.

Oh, and, the movie, it's free.

You might be a Libertarian...

If you've ever had a dream where you were locked in a room with Alexander Hamilton, a rabid dog, one gun, and two bullets, and in your dream you shot Alexander Hamilton twice....you might be a Libertarian.

Heh.

A neat photo

Found at Theo Spark. I Googled attempting to find an original source, but all I found seemed to be others doing what I'm doing here. Anyway I like the photo.

Here's a test

I think of myself as a small "l" libertarian and sometimes and would be damn well step over if a doorway to L. Neil Smith's Libertarian utopia from his novel The Probability Broach opened up in from of me, but it like most utopias depend on the perfectibility of man and that ain't happening. Apparently I'm not libertarian [anarcho-capitalist]enough based on this libertarian purity test linked over at Uncle's. I scored a 68 but would have scored higher if I could have voted get rid of most of it. I still want my wookie suit.
