Watching bits and pieces of the Libertarian National Convention on C-SPAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RFK Jr. and Vivek spoke yesterday. President Trump is going to speak today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulations. You might have successfully submitted me as a non-voter for each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not that it’s going to really matter in Virginia where the party dissolved after the Edgelords took over the Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I live in the same ZIP code as the national party, and I kind expect whoever they nominate won’t be on the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s dead, Jim. Just like the 1970s and 1980s AntiWar screeds that inspire the assemblage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to my wife some over the past few days, though, I continue to come back to the fact that I really do have some radical views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But they’re not the stupid stuff what keeps betting thrown around by the conventioneers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also keep thinking about different ways to accomplish the same things I would like to say, but do it in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still consume a lot of CATO content. The Jone Act<\/em> isn’t needed anymore. So don’t just repeal that. Repeal every single law. Amazingly, all hte regulations that tie to those laws go away, oto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This sort of thinking really discombobulates the Libertarians, too. Instead of starting with a clean sheet of paper, they just repeal portions they’ve decided they no lon ger like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just nothing there.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Watching bits and pieces of the Libertarian National Convention on C-SPAN.
