Assault, Kidnapping, and Robbery

Two convicted of Felonies for bringing Cigs to MN



This story points out that MN taxes tobacco products at 95% of the value.

These two guys were bringing about $78,000 worth of smokes, and $74,000 of that was the taxes.

Any surprise there is going to be a black market???

And how does people selling cigarettes justify beating them up, kidnapping them and taking all of their money?

Confederate Monuments

I can't help but wonder..........is it out of a sense of guilt? Everyone knows that the democrats were the confederates and instead of owning up to it and truly taking responsibility for It, they just supported Jim Crow and the Klan for a hundred years and when that didn't work anymore they found it easier to buy votes with government largesse and pretend that some magical southern strategy changed all the chairs and then promptly claimed that they were the good guys all along. I think we all really know the truth about that, most especially them. It almost seems like their guilty consciences are forcing them to physically tear down evidence that reminds them of their past.

The Libertarian Hypocrite

Idea..................

One of the most common slings cast against libertarians and among themselves is the idea that they are a hypocrite if they participate  in civil society.

This is the tool by which their opponents and themselves ten to marginalize them out of the very spots where they could have some influence to change the leftward tide.

I need to write a book where I argue against that charge.   Where I point out that libertarians have the rightful place in society and that the leftists are the impostors.

I need to point out that as soon as libs buy into the hypocrisy charge, that it is a nonstop slope straight into irrelevancy.
