Dyron Hart is neither the poster child for liberal anger nor the justification for anybody else's violence--he's just a nutcase

Yes, I realize that the guilty plea of an African-American man who sent out death threats to other African-Americans in November 2008 based on Barack Obama's election, while pretending to be a white supremacist is tempting bait for a false see, I told you so moment.

Let's not go there.

He's a nutcase, plain and simple.

Oh, please do go there and tell us what your "I told you so" is all about. You might as well since the very existence of your post is to say "I told you so"--your denial that you are doing so notwithstanding.

And while you are at it, please tell us how this fraud is the "poster child for liberal anger." I need an explanation just to stop laughing.

You are either reading waaaay too much in, or I should have said something better. I have seen at least two dozen of the types of posts to which I am referring posted this morning, including some in our region. I was suggesting it was stupid to go there. That was really all there was to it.

Sometimes a cigar is just ... a cigar.

Hopefully you're not referring to my own post (were you?) which was totally in jest. If you were, then YOU were reading way too much into MINE.

No Hube I was not referring to you. [But given Dana's reaction both you and I should probably have been more clear.]

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
