Thoughts on Liberty, Economics & Life...
“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” — Thomas Jefferson, April 6, 1816

I am embarrassed to be a Libertarian today
I have been a registered Libetarian since the first George Bush was President.
I have been an acting Libertartian since I was a kid.
Today, I am ashamed to tell someone that I belong to this party.
I received an email this morning from a friend who told me about some horrific posts made by Libertarians in, of all places, New Hampshire.
I will not repeat the ugly, stupid and antithesis to liberty posts here but suffice it to say, some idiots in the "Live Free or Die" state have absolutely no clue what it means to be a genuine lover of liberty.
The foundational principle of Libertarian thought is that we all have a natural, or God-given right to our life, or liberty and our property. This applies to every human being on the planet, including Democratic candidate for President, Kamala Harris.
Since 2016 I have watched as many so-called Libertarians have voted for Donald Trump - a person who has very few Libertarian positions and a lot of statist, nationalistic and anti-freedom ones.
I did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020. I will not vote for him this year.
But I am now leaning towards staying home on election day rather than vote for the candidate from my party.
This country is in big trouble. The Republicans look nothing like the party of Ronald Reagan. The Democrats continue to embrace the failure of socialism, and now I have people in my party calling for ending the life of another human being.
This disgusting use of social media comes from a twisted view of what liberty means.
On behalf of genuine liberty lovers all over the United States I would like to apologize to Kamala Harris.

I wanted to share this link to a story about a brave, liberty loving young woman in Venezuela and what has happened to her for standing up for her rights.
