Delaware Liberty Fund endorses Libertarian Ronnie Fitzgerald in 35th State Rep District!!!!

Delaware Liberty Fund is a marriage equality PAC that is quite influential in some circles of state politics.

This year the DLF has endorsed thirty-eight candidates. Not surprisingly, 36 of 38 were Democrats.

DLF endorsed on GOPer, Mike Ramone, based on his support for civil unions last year (it does make me wonder why they didn't stick with Joe Miro in the 22nd District, who also voted that way), and--for the first time in history, DLF endorsed a Libertarian candidate.

Ronnie Fitzgerald in the 35th District is a longtime, staunch Libertarian, who has never been afraid to put his efforts where his principles lie. He worked for many hours at the Delaware State Fair soliciting signatures for the Delaware marriage equality petition. He is well-deserving of this particular endorsement, and his success in gaining it represents a major step forward for the Libertarian Party of Delaware, which nominated a credible candidate in a district where the Democrats could not find anyone to run.

Way to go, Ronnie!

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
