« Willpower (Push-Posting) | Main | Shock: Red Sox SuperFan John Kerry Gets the Score Wrong, Twice »
October 25, 2004

Former Libertarian Candidate for President Endorses Bush

He was a candidate in 1972, yes, but still. I make it a rule to never miss an opportunity to annoy a libertarian. They're so doctrinaire and dopey.

Enter Stage Right has the goods (scroll down to headline).

Hey! I Resemble That Update: A reader wants to know what I have against libertarians generally.

Well, I don't have a lot against libertarians. I don't hate them or anything. But yeah, since college and whatever schooling may have followed, I have found them a little, well, pie-in-the-sky and sloganistic and whatnot.

I also continue to maintain that there are a lot quasi-conservatives who call themselves libertarians because they just like smoking pot.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not really anti-pot, so much as I'm pro-alcohol. But I just never had the brain-chemistry to enjoy pot, and so I don't understand people who sort of structure their lives around pot. It's kind of cult, but with a stinky, skunky smell.

So I'm really just kidding around (although, as usual, kidding for real). And I just don't get a lot of "libertarians" who are basically chosing their political affiliation according to who's going to let them get high legally.

I mean, it's practically legal now anyway.

What the heck do you have against libertarians in general? Lots of us are voting for Bush.

Meanwhile, The American Conservative endorses John Kerry:

Kerry's the One

MoonBatman,

That's one editor at the American Conservative. The others are for El Dubya. Buchanan himself is, if that counts for anything. Which it doesn't.

I love how ever since he founded the AmCon, Pat Buchanan is every liberal's favorite conservative. Forget the whole "hate filled" '92 convention speech, forget that he worked for Nixon and takes a little too much interest in exculpating accused Nazis. Now it's, oh, PB's a brave dissenter from the Neocon orthodoxy that has gripped even gentiles within the Republican Party!

( I have heard from someone who has worked with him that he's actually a really nice, mild-mannered guy in person. But please, moral authority? )

Pot almost legal? I wish. How can a guy light up and enjoy a fat one knowing he might get popped for a piss test at work? Friggen Piss Nazis!

Ace,

I'm a big fan and a fellow Munuvian... you need to distinguish between small "l" libertarians and large "L" Libertarians.

Many of us small "l"s (and I think it safe to assume mega-libertarian bloggers like Virginia Postrel and Stephen Green fall in this category) are likely voting for Bush this time around.

The big-L libs are typically doctrinaire and rigid. Small-ls much more flexible. FWIW.

I consider myself libertarian-ish. Mostly because I think the less power the government has the better. However I also believe in not being shy about spereading around the ass-kicking, so I'm not isolationist like some libertarians. I also think the government is better equipped to handle some things like the military and health emergencies. I also prefer alcohol to pot. But the drug war is a farce. I just don't really care about a number of republican social issues so I don't consider myself republican.

There is no way in Hell I'd vote for Kerry because I think he is a) a liar b) defintely a socia.list c) will never act aggressively and d) is Jimmy Carter jr.

I will vote for Bush and frankly don't have any significant gripe with him unlike like alot of people who consider themselves somewhere in the libertarian neighborhood. The deficit as a percentage of GDP is not as bad as some people have made it out to be. The recession was obviously started before the Bush admin. Raising taxes would therefore be a bad idea. Cutting spending was certainly not much of an option after 9/11. Iraq shoulda been taken care of in the 90's. When you start a war you better frigging finish it. Wars are fraught with failures and triumphs. The triumphs of this one have been quite stunning and the failures not nearly as big as many in past wars.

So to libertarians who are down on Bush I say, Stop being whiny little bitches!

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.
Lost 70s Mystery Click
And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again

Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
