Free Virginia: How to Maximize The LP Presidential Campaign
http://freevirginia.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-maximize-lp-presidential-campaign.html
Friday, May 01, 2015. How to Maximize The LP Presidential Campaign. For thirty-five years, I have watched thousands of Libertarian Party candidates run for office. The most prominent of course have been the presidential campaigns. Having been witness to so much has led me to a conclusion: The "credibility" and "electability" of our presidential candidate has little to do with the success of the Libertarian Party. So here's the suggestion:. Is committed to growing the Party. For the first part, the Libert...

Free Virginia: Allende Could Have Started a Real Revolution - But He Didn't
http://freevirginia.blogspot.com/2014/09/allende-could-have-started-real.html
Friday, September 12, 2014. Allende Could Have Started a Real Revolution - But He Didn't. 9/11, for the people of Chile, has a completely different meaning than it has for Americans. Forty-one years ago, on September 11, 1973 Salvador Allende was deposed in a violent coup led by Augusto Pinochet. CNN published a pretty good article about the coup marking the 40th anniversary last year. Once elected, Allende ignored thousands of court orders and precedents (writing executive orders to override them, as al...

http://freevirginia.blogspot.com/2012/11/1000-challenge-2012.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. 1000 Challenge / 2012. So, you're a Libertarian Candidate. And you want a big donation from me. Sure! I have $1,000 burning a hole in my pocket. You can claim it - all of it. But it isn't "free". You'll need to have some ducks in a row. Here are my requirements:. 1) You must have a written campaign platform with no substantial deviations from the LP platform. Or with Libertarian principles. 2) You should have a reasonably detailed campaign plan. I) I am not disposed to provide ...

Free Virginia: June 2015
http://freevirginia.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 02, 2015. Memory Lane: Carl Shumacher, Elkton VA. Sometimes a conversation brings up memories of old friends. One good friend in my life was Carl Schumacher of Elkton, VA. Carl's wife was Murray's sister. (! While I worked at Libertarian Party Headquarters (1989-1993), Carl also printed several things for the national office, such as the 1987 and 1989 LP platforms. Shumacher was elected to the Elkton Town Council. Carl and an old buddy of his (don't remember his buddy's name). Between t...

bad assumptions people make in deciding what’s fair | Girly Thoughts
https://girlythoughts.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/bad-assumptions-people-make-in-deciding-whats-fair
April 12, 2008. Bad assumptions people make in deciding what’s fair. 8212; judgesnineteen @ 1:18 pm. I just read a thread on Feministing. In which one commenter said that if a woman falsely accuses a man of domestic violence, she needs counseling, not jail, and another commenter replied that if the falsely accused was the first commenter’s son or friend, the first commenter would feel differently. So which is more important to you? The US citizen who’s ok with human rights violations of immigrants. The m...

Did Washington Just Declare a ‘No Fly’ Zone in Syria? August 23, 2016. 3 Comments on Did Washington Just Declare a ‘No Fly’ Zone in Syria? Reading between the lines in today’s Pentagon press briefing. A bombshell US policy shift is becoming more apparent: Syrian forces and their Russian partners are being told that conducting military operations in some parts of Syrian airspace opens them up to being shot down by the US military. What are the rules of engagement? Celtic F.C. Fans Pledge to ‘...2 Com...

May 23, 2009. People are not rational. 8212; judgesnineteen @ 4:21 am. I know we learn about this in psychology, that people pay more attention to what supports their biases than what challenges them, but I didn’t know it could go this far. Of course, maybe she’s thinking “Crap! I don’t know how to argue against that! Find a way out! Leave a Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The “I think I’m ok, therefore I am” fallacy | Girly Thoughts
https://girlythoughts.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/the-i-think-im-ok-therefore-i-am-fallacy
January 23, 2009. The “I think I’m ok, therefore I am” fallacy. 8212; judgesnineteen @ 11:19 pm. It goes like this: someone brings up a type of oppression, and a member of the oppressed group says “I don’t believe in opposing what you’re talking about. I’m a strong enough person that I don’t need xyz/I believe I’m a person of worth even if xyz doesn’t happen.”. So, that’s one less argument I’ll be accepting in debates. 6 Comments ». Comment by la mestiza. 8212; February 19, 2009 @ 7:03 am. And yeah, in p...

July 13, 2009. My heart is still racing. 8212; judgesnineteen @ 3:11 am. And yet here I am writing a blog. So I may have already written about affirmative action, but I’m going to do it again because it’s my blog and I need the peace of mind that comes from making your argument in writing. Nor is it the fault of Jim’s descendants. That would be unmeritocratic, and our country is all about meritocracy! 8221; Usually more ignorant than audacious, true, but now that you know, you have no excuse. A note R...

January 9, 2009. Memo to well-meaning Christians. 8212; judgesnineteen @ 3:09 am. Loving in the face of hate, self-denying beyond normal human ability. I’m not proving anything here. It’s just one person’s perception, and I don’t even know if what they were thinking at those moments was “I’ll win her over with my eerie resemblance to Christ! 8221; probably because I had encountered the same treatment from non-Christians as well and considered it normal human kindness.
