I respond to Matthew Blackham's editorial--"What's a Libertarian?" and take him to task for inaccuracies and misrepresentations he makes about libertarians.

I suppose this is my official endorsement of Representative Ron Paul (aka "Dr. No") for the Republican nomination as well as for President in 2008.  I am not a fan of Republicans in general (any more than I am a fan of Democrats), but Dr. Ron Paul is a principled libertarian, and I support him.  He would certainly be a step in the right direction toward stopping the American slide to totalitarianism.  Forget useless Libertarians.  Vote libertarian.  Vote Ron Paul 2008.

According to homelandstupidity.us, the thousandth person has signed the Free State Project's 'First 1000 Pledge'.  Congratulations to you thousand, and to all the others who will enjoy more freedom and liberty due to this movement.  Will it really work?

Voters don't like the term libertarian, even if they fundamentally agree with libertarianism.  And I think it's more than the name.  The party caters to extremists (near anarchists) like myself.  Maybe if there were a party that just fought for less government intrusiveness where the vast majority agree, we'd get somewhere.

I read an email from Tom that brings the issue of guns up again.  Then I babble a bit about the 88 year old woman who was shot when police intruded her home for no reason and she dared to defend herself.
