I’ve been political my entire life, starting out with Barry Goldwater and The Conscience of a Conservative in the1960's. In 1967 I enlisted in the U.S. Marines for four years, spending nearly two of them in South Vietnam. In 1972 I was a Florida presidential elector for Prof. John Hospers, the first Presidential candidate of the national Libertarian Party which was founded that same year. During the late 1970's and into the 1980's I was a contributing editor and monthly columnist for Reason magazine, and I’ve authored numerous articles in the print and online media about various subjects relating to individual rights and personal freedom. Today I'm a lawyer by profession; I divide my time between New Hampshire and Florida all year long, spending much of my time practicing law in Florida. As an early supporter and past member of the board of directors of the Free State Project, I was drawn to the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire in late 2003 when it was chosen by a vote of the first 5,000 FSP participants. In 2004 I founded the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire, and continue today to work within the state political system to advance the traditional NH values of frugal small government, low taxes, small business, free enterprise, and self-responsibility. To all, I say "Come and see what we are building in the beautiful, healthy, livable Free State of New Hampshire!"
I’m a Republican through-and-thr0ugh, so I don’t endorse the idea. In fact, it could ensure endless Democrat electoral victories…but I’m wondering what everyone else thinks. At 3:55 in the video below Sarah Palin reflects on what might happen if the Republican Party “continues to ignore conservatives”; what do you think?
…this just in from a member of the NH state House of Representatives (who shall remain unnamed, thankyouverymuch); s/he responded to my posting about third party musings by Palin (see the post below):
Tim, I agree with you. I am a conservative more than a Republican. However…
At Harbor Women’s Health center in Portsmouth yesterday, an employee reacted with hysteria to a visitor who was legally carrying a gun. So the employee calls and lies to the police, wasting public resources and endangering everyone at the health center. Will the person who lied to the police be punished? Should he or she … Read more
One of the issues supported by statists everywhere is “gun control.” In fact, a rolling caravan came into New Hampshire the other day to “read the names of victims of gun violence” (courtesy of New York city’s fake Republican Michael Bloomberg, among others). Well…does anyone besides me wonder why they don’t travel around reading the … Read more
…and the NH GOP chair leaps at the opportunity to smear her further. Said Jennifer Horn, as quoted in the Union Leader, “The New Hampshire Republican State Committee made it very clear that Representative Tremblay was unfit for public office and not welcome in our party. We are glad to see her go.” Well I’m not, and … Read more
Here is Ted Nelson—inventor of the the words “hypertext,” “hypermedia,” “populitism,” “intertwingularity,” virtuality,” “transclusion,” and last and laughingly…”teledildonics”—setting forth his conjectural proof of a mystery that has baffled all up to now: Who—under the nom de plume Satoshi Nakamoto—invented Bitcoin, released it wild into the World, and promptly disappeared into the ether? An amazing video message from … Read more
Because culture can turn on a dime. A great Chinese pianist, Lui Shih Kun, now age 74, lived through such a culture-shift. From yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, When the Culture Changed: “When I returned to China after the Tchaikovsky competition [in Russia], the culture had changed. Mao Zedong was promoting the the idea that music and … Read more
Detroit is a perfect example of what the future of America is going to look like. We live in a nation that is rotting, decaying, drowning in debt and racing toward insolvency. Already there are dozens of other cities across the nation that are poverty-ridden, crime-infested hellholes just like Detroit is, and hundreds of other communities … Read more
…the one by Justice Scalia that invalidated the Arizona election law? The one that’s an utter disaster for clean and honest elections? The one that lets Democrats use their vote fraud machines like ACORN to subvert the voting process in America? Well get this: We won. Here’s why.
With regard to white racism and its light-skinned clone, White Privilege (referring to the unearned advantages white people have), there’s good news for those who oppose those unfair perks! This headline from today’s Wall Street Journal: “More Whites Dying Than Being Born” From the article: The number of non-Hispanic white Americans who died in the year ended … Read more
In further signs of the imminent collapse of Western Civilization, a young marketing genius, Jake King, emerges in Ohio: He’s responsible for organizing this year’s massive…naked Nerf games.
…excellence. Okay, I get that…but they are paid with our taxes. And when they use their authority to show their disdain for achievement and excellence, I don’t care for it. Or them. This from today’s Union Leader: “Brandon Garabrant, 18, of Greenfield is graduating from Marine boot camp Friday in South Carolina, and will be home in
time for his ConVal high school graduation Saturday. His mother, Jessie Garabrant, said his request to wear his uniform instead of a cap and gown was refused by school officials, who cited graduation policy. A cap and gown will have to cover his uniform.” In the comments after the article several self-described veterans displayed their servile attitude when…
