CPAC Contest Results

So in order to help Young Americans for Liberty help Campaign for Liberty recruit as many students as possible to attend CPAC (and vote for Ron Paul in the presidential straw poll, which we pulled off for the second year in a row to spectacular effect!), I launched a little contest here earlier this year and offered to split any recruitment bonuses from YAL that I might happen to get from recruiting enough of you to meet one of its bonus tiers. If enough people registered to go, I would do a drawing and split the earnings 50/50 with the winner. I also offered "instant-win" prizes to the first four people to register-- t-shirts courtesy of Amagi Clothing.

I am pleased to announce the final results of the contest today! Special thanks and free t-shirts to Andrew of Georgia, Joanne from Texas, and Matt of Texas! Great state- Texas is! Georgia too! We had the South representing hardcore this year. Also I did the drawing today for the first place cash prize of $50 (since YAL generously doubled its recruitment bonuses in order to really push hard in the final stretch just before CPAC), and that will be going to Matt from Texas! Thank you all so much for participating and helping HumbleLibertarian.com make a difference!

My 2011 Trip

Hey Patriots! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I am multitasking my head off to prepare for a trip around the country of indefinite length and scope starting next week. I'll be headed for Colorado first where I'll investigate medical cannabis laws and their effects; then I'll be flying out to Washington DC for the month of February to attend CPAC and ISFLC; and after that I'll move north to New Hampshire to spend March hanging with members of the Free State Project and learning more about it. I'm not positive what's next after that, but I've got a general inkling, and it might involve venturing overseas to learn a little more about the broader world around us and relay everything I see to you readers here at The Humble Libertarian ! Wish me luck and keep your eye out for updates as I travel. Peace, Wes Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

I've Been an Outspoken Critic of Censoring Conservatives, But I'm Not Leaving Patreon Over Sargon of Akkad's Ridiculous Remarks

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
