Thank you for listening to the Jeremy West Show. The Jeremy West Show is no longer being recorded. Instead, please visit http://jeremywest.net to see the new Jeremy West Column.

76: Short Show: What's a Libertarian Too?

show@jeremywest.net — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 21:34:00 GMT

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

75: Short Show - Libertarian for President 2008

show@jeremywest.net — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 23:39:00 GMT

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.

74: Short Show - First 1000

show@jeremywest.net — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 07:13:00 GMT

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?

73: Short Show - Time for a New Party

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 02:51:00 GMT

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.

72: Short Show - Again with the Guns

show@jeremywest.net — Sat, 9 Dec 2006 03:57:00 GMT

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.

71: Short Show - Supply and Demand

show@jeremywest.net — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 08:19:00 GMT

Wouldn't our supply problems with commodities such as water and oil be much better solved by simply allowing supply and demand to work rather than relying on inept governments to regulate and enforce?

70: Full Show - Naughty Commercials

show@jeremywest.net — Wed, 4 Oct 2006 06:58:00 GMT

Minimum Wage / The Breakup of the Republican Party / Taxes as Policy / Guns / Frightened Parents / Michael Badnarik vs. Immigration

show@jeremywest.net — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:37:00 GMT

Whiny parents came out against a premature ejaculation ad on a local radio station today. Wah!

67: Short Show - Guns Don't Kill People

show@jeremywest.net — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 03:01:00 GMT

Yes, I'm a libertarian who is not a gun fanatic. So sue me. Since I am pro-choice in nearly everything, I'm pro choice for owning a gun. Where is the line, though? I am not pro-choice in owning nuclear weapons.

66: Short Show - Tax as a Weapon

show@jeremywest.net — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 03:39:00 GMT

Have you heard about this church that is being investigated by the IRS for preaching an anit-war sermon two days before the 2004 presidential election?

They did not support or bash either candidate. And since Kerry voted for the war as well, how could they have? I suppose they could have supported Badnarik, but no, they only mentioned Bush and Kerry, and their message was to them both.... [click pod above to hear the rest of this episode]

65: Short Show - Totalitarian to Libertarian

show@jeremywest.net — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 11:22:00 GMT

I'm giddy about the seeming breakup of coalition that makes up the American Republican Party: The Religious Right and libertarians. Will this finally present an opportunity for a libertarian America?

64: Short Show - Minimum Wages Bite!

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 12:31:00 GMT

I don't like minimum wages. I consider them price fixing, and that hurts the natural balance of the economy. Let me negotiate my own wages!

63: Full Show - Parental Excusal

show@jeremywest.net — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 01:21:00 GMT

59: Short Show - Legal Age Discrimination

show@jeremywest.net — Mon, 3 Jul 2006 12:40:00 GMT

Eliza takes the mic to ask the question: Don't we need legal age restrictions (i.e.--legal driving ages, legal drinking ages, etc.)?

58: Short Show -- Random Internationalism Thoughts

show@jeremywest.net — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 10:14:00 GMT

I ramble as I think, "Why aren't Americans very interested in the rest of the world?" In doing so, I talk about the Australians in the World Cup and Eliza and my studies of the international language of Esperanto.

57: Short Show - Kevin & Non-Government Zoning

show@jeremywest.net — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 09:37:00 GMT

I read an email from Kevin about zoning. Would it be possible to have nice suburban neighbourhoods without government regulations?

54: Short Show - Politics and Religion

show@jeremywest.net — Wed, 31 May 2006 12:24:00 GMT

Is government a bit of a cult? Is it possible to be a politician and still be a libertarian? How can you work for a company (i.e. -- the government) and not want to see it grow?

53: Short Show - Trade Embargos & Sanctions

show@jeremywest.net — Wed, 24 May 2006 13:13:00 GMT

Is America really a free country? Then why am I as a citizen of a free country barred by American law from visiting Cuba? Do trade embargos and sanctions really produce the results governments are looking for?

52: Short Show - Drought Relief

show@jeremywest.net — Tue, 23 May 2006 10:16:00 GMT

49: Short Show - Government Giveaway!!

show@jeremywest.net — Thu, 11 May 2006 09:43:00 GMT

Why are tax cuts always framed as government giving us something? Isn't it just them taking less from us? And why aren't tax cuts ever coupled with budget cuts?

48: Short Show - R-E-S-P-E-C-T

show@jeremywest.net — Mon, 8 May 2006 09:20:00 GMT

Eliza wonders, why don't people have a little respect for other people and our shared space?

47: Short Show - Rising Gas Prices

show@jeremywest.net — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 14:16:00 GMT

Eliza's article is my inspiration for today:

Rising petrol costs. No worries, mate!

Will rising fuel prices finally drive people to using renewable energy sources? And has the oil industry's lock on energy been a vast right-left conspiracy?

46: Short Show - Anarcho Capitalism

show@jeremywest.net — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:28:00 GMT

I wonder aloud: is anarcharcy (specifically anarcho-capitalism) any better than totalitarianism? Or is it simply a different form of dictatorship, wherein those with enough money to own enough land become mini kings?

Wikipedia Link: Anarcho-capitalism

45: Short Show - Solar Power

show@jeremywest.net — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 06:48:00 GMT

I report the rumour I heard that solar power is costly because of special "solar power" taxes. As this was unsubstantiated, I did find one article on government making other forms of energy more affordable than renewable forms
