New Hampshire Libertarian Chest Pounding Over the Garcia Candidacy

There is a very healthy and necessary discussion taking place on Facebook over why Marilinda Garcia may not be a Libertarian-enough congressional candidate for some of the Libertarian’s in New Hampshire.   They are concerned about her positions as a state rep on Gay Marriage, marijuana, abortion, junk like that.  But it never occurred to anyone …

Tom Harvey: “Insurance is used to help control every other important dangerous item or activity we have”

What Is It With Democrat Presidents…?

President Bill Clinton lobbed missiles or bombs at select “enemies” as a distraction on the evenings before major hearings or depositions tied to his peter-problem. Obama, seeing his polling collapse after being nailed on 20 plus counts of “serial liar who would say anything for a political victory,” and the ObamaCare fallout of his disinterest …
