Free Speech Discussion:

Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky

6:00 - 9:00 pm

Ireland's Four Courts,

2051 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington

Cost: Free!

Do you pay attention to what you wear to the voting booth? Should you need to?

At the end of February, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on a landmark free speech case–Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky–and you can get an inside look!

Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky centers around a Minnesota statute that prohibits individuals from wearing what is broadly defined as “political” apparel at or around polling places on primary or election days.

Join America’s Future Foundation as we welcome our former Sacramento Chapter Leader, Wen Fa, who is an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation and is representing Minnesota voters in their First Amendment challenge to the law in question. Wen will touch on the background of the case and will give an inside look at what preparing for a case in the nation’s top court looks like.

You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other liberty-minded young professionals from the DC area. Drinks and appetizers are on us! RSVP now.

A special Valentine's Day Appeal from the DNC

Dear Sub-Human Filth,

I'm appealing to all of you stupid idiots to vote Democrat in 2018. That is if you have the basic education enough to read a ballot, anyway. I understand the majority of you racist rednecks can't even read this post, though. But those who can, please pass my message on to the rest of your inbred family. We Democrats are morally, culturally and intellectually superior to you in every way. I will qualify myself by noting that I have a Liberal Arts degree from a college, which you obviously have never been to, if you even know what one is. I also have a black friend. I have been told by several professors that everything you hold dear is terrible. Therefore you, personally, are also terrible. I don't know you, but I know that you're racist. I also know that you hate gay people and still get scared during lightning storms. The religion which you hold closely, greatly believe in, and which brings you comfort--you are wrong because I'm smarter than you and I'm telling you so. It is one of the many reasons why you are stupid and I'm better than you. You see, us Democrats want a system which helps everyone in the world. Our system is designed around love and kindness to everyone. If you don't agree, I hate you. It's not too late to change. If you knew your history, which of course you don't, you'll remember a time in America when Indians were dragged away from their homes and forced to assimilate into white society. Well, we want to change that kind of behaviour (sorry for my spelling, as I'm not from your country) by making sure you go to college and have a small apartment in a big, busy coastal city, where you belong. That will help you rid yourselves of your backward, incorrect culture and way of thinking. We'll do everything we can to make sure you agree with us and say all the right things and not be brainwashed against thinking the same way we do. All of you stupid, backward, redneck, racist, homophobic, uneducated yokels need to realize we're trying to build a classless society where we all get to live in harmony with each other, where we're all equal. If you only understood that you wouldn't be so much worse of a person than I am. So please vote Democrat. Help me help you, you worthless mf'ers.

Call for LP candidates

The Libertarian Party's nationwide goal for 2018 is to run 2,000 Libertarian candidates.

We already have 423 of those planned candidates listed on LP.org, plus another 60 on a secret list. That’s 483 candidates total toward our goal of 2,000.

A potential candidate is placed on our list if we know about them and if they:

1. Have declared they are running
2. Articulate a specific race they are running for
3. Know and understand the filing requirements and are working towards meeting them (or are working with their state party on this)

If they fill all three requirements, we add them to the website. State parties can request certain candidates not to be listed on the website, and a few states prefer to withhold all of their candidates until they are officially nominated.

But most of you we want to list right away to help you get noticed. We can’t start promoting you if we don’t know about you.

If you’re a candidate and not already on our list, please send a note to bob.johnston@lp.org.

If you're even just a little bit interested in running for office, please go to LP.org/run and fill out the form. A representative from the LP will follow-up with you shortly.

Sincerely,

Wes Benedict
Executive Director

Hilarious! Sara Carter & Dan Bongino Tries To Recover From Schiff Wantin...

Hillary doggie Phillipe Reines: "I always trust our government"

POLITICO Exclusive: Ed Crane is (was?) a bad bad man!

This week POLITICO broke the decades old news that Ed Crane, the former patriarch of the CATO Institute - was a male chauvinist pig.

Here is my response:

Predictably I see that the peanut gallery below have snapped at the treats POLITICO dangled before them and come up with such wit as "Libertarians believe you should be able to do whatever you want no matter whom it hurts." (More precisely libertarians believe you own yourself, including your body, your time, and your work product.)

Does this mean the far more prevalent Democratic sexual harassment is because Democrats believe in redistributing sexual goodies from the young, attractive, and nubile to the old or ugly (cartoonish Weiners and decrepit Kennedys)? As they believe in redistributing income with Obamacare from the young and healthy to the old and infirm?

I was fired by Ed Crane from the Ed Clark for President campaign in 1980, summarily, after only having worked there for a few months, when I was a college student. I wasn't fired for sexual haraasment or for resisting sexual harassment, nor was I fired for being bad at my job of managing the mail room, or recrutiing the volunteers who stuffed envelopes in those pre-internet days. (I was let go because someone who was much more important to the campaign would not take a job in it if I was there, due to previous personal conflicts arising from romantic relationships.) I took my two weeks severance pay and walked upstairs to the third flood (the Clark campaign HQ were then the 2nd floor of the little building that houses the Starbucks now at Hall Place and Wisconsin Avenue on the border of Glover Park and Georgetown), where I got the same type of job for the same pay at the Libertarian National Committee. Which I imagine made neither Ed Crane, nor the person whom he was hiring who wanted me gone, happy. I'm not, as you might imagine, a fan, simply, of Ed Crane. But when Mr. Lippman called me a week or so ago asking for stories for this article (I then learned he'd called many people I know, none of whom seem to be quoted here) I didn't have a lot to tell him and I didn't think much of this project.

The context POLITICO doesn't provide is that no one needs a job at a libertarian think tank. It's a labor of love. It doesn't pay well. The people who take the lower rung jobs must live in group houses in Annandale or Crystal City and commute to work on Metro. If anyone sexually harassed you while working in such a position they could do what I did and go work at reason magazine, or the Competitive Enterprise Institutte, or the Libertarian Party, or the Mercatus Center, or the Niskanen Center, or the Pacific Institute, or the Independent Institute, or the Atlas Network, or Americans for Prosperity, etc etc etc. Or even take a job outside policy and politics that actually pays enough to buy a house and a car.

Libertarians believe in a growing economy with a thriving job market where if someone offends you at your work, you can easily start a business or work elsewhere, IN ADDITION to whatever legal remedies there might be for any contract violations that took place. Democrats believe that you should go to a bureaucracy or court and appeal and have your harasser fined - this will work if your harasser is some politically unconnected Christian small business owner, but not if he or she is a powerful politically connected Democrat like a Hillary staffer or Harvey Weinstein.

In the establishment world of the Democratic Party and the bureaucracies and mainstream media organizations it controls, a job is real money. All those Pakistani IT people Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was funding, all those Hillary-allied consultants who drained the DNC of funds according to Donna Brazille, those are opportunities that you could actually be harmed if you were denied them. I've been to a fundraiser at Bob Shrum's old Massachusetts Avenue Heights house. If he still owned it it would be worth $3 or 4 million now. If sexual harassment drove you out of the Democratic Party career ladder you would actually be harmed. (The DNC was sued for anti-gay discrimination by an employee back in 2008, and I don't know that a little research wouldn't turn up sex harassment suits and settlements.)

But it is understandable how - bruised from revelations of so much criminal activity by Obama and Hillary, and by the ongoing revelations about Democrat Congressmen and bundlers who sext teens, fly to the Caribbean to use underage sex workers, drown their impregnated secretaries, pay women they've molested $800,000 settlements, have their Hollywood mistresses die of overdoses, find their sexually harassing "faith advisors" new jobs - etc, etc. POLITICO would feel the need to discuss some pretty stale news to deflect attention.

I don't envy you your job of spinning for your masters, when the clowns you have to cover for are Schumer, Schiff, and Pelosi.

Stossel: How Free Are You?

Conspiracy theory: Deep State/FBI is trying to kill Members of Congress

Found on the inter web:

"CONFIRMED: THE CONGRESSMEN ABOARD THE TRAIN WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SESSION. THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HEADED TO A "RESORT" THAT DOUBLES AS A DOOMSDAY (COG) FACILITY. Adding to the credibility of the theory they were fleeing a threat is the fact that they had family members aboard the train, including children that should have been in school.

OVERWHELMINGLY PROBABLE: THEY RECEIVED DEATH THREATS OVER THE MEMO, AND WERE HEADING TO A SAFE PLACE WHEN THEY WERE STOPPED BY A STAGED "ACCIDENT"

Here's the story, which is all now 100 percent confirmed.

A majority of Republican congressmen who voted to release the Fisa memo, which exposes an enormous amount of deep state corruption, were on an escorted train when they were supposed to be in session, with all roads closed ahead of the train (for security reasons) and the train receiving helicopter escort.

Despite all the roads being closed, the train hit a garbage truck while going 70 mph. The front wheels of the front engine derailed, but the rear wheels stayed on the tracks. With all the roads closed for security reasons, the only way the garbage truck could have gotten in the way of the train would be if it was done intentionally.

Even some Congressmen are now saying the accident had to have been staged, and that it was an attempt to kill a large number of congressmen who voted to release the memo. Large numbers of deaths would have occurred if the train did derail, (as planned) but with the will of God it mostly stayed on the tracks and none of the cars or engines tipped over. If that had happened at 70 MPH the results would have been devastating.

HEADS UP: Rogue factions in the United States government are attempting a violent coup with "plausible deniability. Fortunately only minor injuries happened, but having this end up being minor defies all probability, it was supposed to be a disaster and it was definitely, without question, not an accident."
