An embarrassment to actual Libertarians everywhere: Eric Dondero doubles down on the stupid

Although since he created the oxymoronic "Libertarians for Romney" pseudo-movement, maybe his quest for his fifteen minutes of fame will embarrass them, not us.

No, wait. It is not possible to embarrass GOPers, is it?

At any rate, enjoy:

Now that Florida has been declared for Obama, should any right-minded conservative or libertarian ever donate to Red Cross or United Way again for Fla. Hurricane Relief?

And:

Please do not give Trick or Treat candy to Democrat kids

Uh, Eric? Halloween was a couple of weeks ago, dude.

And, finally, this--trust me, it is worth the five minutes of your life:

Note: there is something hinky about the code for embedding this video. If you don't see Eric Dondero's picture, refresh the page.

We'd be so lucky if Dondero rode off into the sunset, never to be heard from again, but the publicity his little temper tantrum earned him has only strengthened his resolve.

But from what we have seen in the past this is Eric being Eric; a media whoring, self promoter with nothing important to say.

This has to be the biggest temper tantrum by the biggest baby I've ever seen. What an embarrassment.

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
