The Humble Libertarian original

If you really care about saving children's lives then after reading this short explanation you'll support this policy proposal. If you don't support legalizing mortal combat in the United States after reading this, you obviously don't care about children dying and their blood will be on your hands. Is that a little extreme? Naaaah. It's not extreme enough... You probably even relish in the thought of children dying if you don't support this policy proposal, you filthy-souled sith-spawn of hell from whence you came, you reactionary obstructionist piece of human trash. That's more like it. No. I'm just kidding. Feel free to criticize this idea or help me develop it, but I think I might be on to something that could strangely make the world a nicer and more barbaric place at the same time, but where everyone wins. Here's the idea: The U.S. should legalize mortal combat. There should be a government operated mortal combat league, l...

Have we all been asleep??? This was publicly available information during the 2016 presidential campaign. The recorded interview in which Hillary tells all about this incredibly sordid thing she did, was uncovered and published in 2014. But it was never widely addressed by the media and voters two years later. Most people are probably still unaware of this strange and unseemly fact today. Here's what happened : "In 1975, the same year she married Bill, Hillary Clinton agreed to serve as the court-appointed attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old accused of raping the child after luring her into a car. The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton's suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge." On the tape Hillary Clinton actually laughs with veteran Arkansas jo...

Only a fake Christian or someone who is too uninformed to have any business voting could now cast a ballot for Roy Moore. Child Molester (R) A sane, moral person sees "child molester" and wants to strangle the guy. The political partisan says that hasn't really been proven and the Washington Post just wants to hand the Democrats a Senate seat. But the only reason they believe Moore after that Hannity interview is because all they can see is that "(R)" next to his name. Which is a branded signal to activate the mental short circuit that years of partisan propaganda has implanted in their brains. The "(D)" has the same effect on a similar number of people in this country. And it's a lie that there's a difference between them. The lie is part of the short circuit. The short circuit is activated by a carefully cultivated mental implant that causes temporary insanity and bouts of amnesia. No, I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat. ...

Another example of how violence against men in this country is trivialized. A lot of people pretty much laughed about Rand Paul getting assaulted and left with 6 broken ribs. Three of them were displaced fractures (where the halves of the broken bone are knocked completely out of alignment) and he also had pulmonary contusions, which are a life threatening injury that can fill a person's lungs up with blood and fluid until they drown. The reaction from most of America was pretty much a big yawn. But you know we would have mobilized to DefCon 1 if a female political leader had been assaulted in her own front yard and severely injured. There would have been such a massive and effusive outpouring of good will and concern for her. She would have gotten her own trending hashtag with its own special Twitter flair icon. There would have been a lot of fierce rage for her attacker. There may have even been a #MeToo campaign for other women ( women only, not men ) who have ...

A shooter — identified as 66-year-old James T. Hodgkins — armed with a rifle shot as many as 50 bullets into a crowd of U.S. Congress members and their staff on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday morning. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others were shot and wounded in the attack as the Republican congressional baseball team held its early-morning practice. Two of the five wounded include Capitol Police officers and one of them was the gunman himself, who was shot by police, said Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown. Sen. Rand Paul told CNN a massacre could have occurred if police and Scalise’s security team were not there. A Partisan Motivated Shooting Before the shooting, someone asked Rep. DeSantis “if it was Republicans or Democrats out there” on the field. “Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) described a “very strange” encounter with a man shortly before House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot during a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, ...

However bad marijuana might be for your brain, it couldn't be worse than watching cable news:

Credit: Kitty Hell The existence and availability of gun technology is a great equalizer for the physically weaker and more vulnerable among us. Take for instance, this 15-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister , who were home alone one Tuesday afternoon in 2010 when two strangers tried to break into their house. Without gun technology, these two children would have certainly been in worse danger. Gun technology confers physical parity upon those who are physically disempowered against stronger bullies or intra-species predators, because they have smaller or weaker bodies. Two thundering, violent, adult, male brutes breaking into a house don't need gun technology to overpower and abuse or even kill two children. But without gun technology, the children would likely never be able to overpower and neutralize these predatory adults' physical advantage. The quality of the technology is relevant to its effectiveness and the best interests and best practices of million...

An important video to watch: The Truth About George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin

Writes Nick of his recent interview with Cody Wilson at TheTruthAboutGuns.com : 'The first thing we wanted to know is if he’s worried about a possible stretch as a guest of the the federal government in one of their high security greybar hotels. Cody’s response: “I’m looking forward to it. It’ll give me time to catch up on my reading.” As far as he’s concerned, the government might get him on any number of technicalities. Cody started listing the ways that Uncle Sam could justify putting him away, almost as if they were badges of honor — thumbing his nose at their attempts to control the proliferation of firearms. It fits well with the “crypto-anarchist” persona that he’s developed as his efforts with 3D printing have progressed. Robert was concerned that Cody didn’t have a lawyer already on speed dial in the event of his arrest. We started spit-balling lawyers that might be interested in taking his case, and Cody wasn’t too impressed with any of them. Alan Gottleib was de...

NBC News reports : 'The Air Force official in charge of its sexual-assault prevention program was arrested for groping, authorities said Monday. Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski, 41, was removed from his position as head of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office pending an investigation, the Air Force said. The incident happened just after midnight Sunday when a drunken Krusinski allegedly approached the woman in a parking lot in Arlington, Va., and grabbed her breasts and buttocks, according to a police report. Police said the woman fought off her assailant and scratches can be seen on Krusinski’s face in his mug shot. He was charged with sexual battery. The charges are "deeply troubling," Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh said Tuesday. The Air Force has requested jurisdiction in the case, which is standard practice.' Just one more obvious sign that your government is tragically and perhaps irreparably broken. The report of these tragically i...

What? Bomb sniffing dogs at a major public event in a big city with so many people? Is it inconceivable that there would have been security at a big event because... there's often security at big events? If there was a bomb explosion at an airport, would the conspiracy-obsessed among us point out that the TSA was there when it happened, and say that it stinks of a false flag attack because of this, as they have been doing with the Boston Marathon bombing? Silly. The sad part is the real story with this observation isn't that it's evidence of an inside job. It's that it's evidence of police incompetence. The state can't keep you safe. At least it can't guarantee your safety. You can spend yourself into poverty to pay for the security state; you can give up your last liberty for some security; you can panic yourself into a state of paralyzed terror of living in a world where you just might die sooner than you'd hoped; and in the end, you just might...

Jesse Walker has some words of wisdom for us at Reason. These ideas are relevant in the aftermath of any terrible tragedy as it becomes a media spectacle: 'As soon as those two explosions tore through the Boston Marathon yesterday, dubious rumors and other false reports started surfacing in the press and in social media. So here's three tips for following stories like this one—lessons to keep in mind not just as events in Boston unfold, but the next time something this terrible happens...' Read the rest at Reason.

Justin Raimondo reports at AntiWar.com : It sickens me to write this, to report on the latest manifestation of the hate that has enveloped my country and spread out across the world like a giant oil spill, but the death of Shaima Alawadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi woman and mother of five, is a moral obscenity – a crime for which the War Party must take responsibility. On Wednesday, in the quiet San Diego suburb of El Cajon, California, the teenage daughter of Shaima Alawadi returned home to find her mother drowning in a pool of blood. There were signs of forced entry at the back of the house. Someone had broken in and beaten her mother nearly to death with a tire iron. Next to her body was a note: “Go back to your own country, you terrorist.” A similar note had been found tacked to the family’s door a few weeks earlier, but Shaima had dismissed it as a kid’s prank. This kind of hate is nothing new for San Diego. In 2010, a plan to build a mosque in nearby Temecula resulted in a s...

NBC Connecticut reports : A member of the Occupy New Haven movement was raped in a tent at the Occupy camp late on Monday night or early Tuesday morning, police said. Police said a woman went to find the victim on Tuesday afternoon because she had not seen her. She went to the woman’s tent and called for her, but there was no answer, so she looked inside the tent and found the woman, police said. The victim wasn’t able to respond, police said, so the witness yelled out to other Occupiers to call police and emergency medical services. At some point, the victim told the witness she had been raped in a tent at the camp, police said. Police responded to the camp at 3:25 p.m. The victim was brought to Yale-New Haven Hospital and police charged England Gamble, 53, of New Haven, with first-degree sexual assault and first-degree unlawful restraint. Gamble is on the state sex offender registry for a first-degree sexual assault conviction in 1991. The registry said he was released...

Way too cool not to share... The Politico reports : On this day in 1835, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) became the first U.S. president to be targeted by an assassin. Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, approached Jackson as he left a congressional funeral held in the House chamber of the Capitol and shot at him. His gun misfired. A delusional Lawrence believed that the U.S. government owed him a large sum that Jackson was keeping from him. Release of the funds, he thought, would allow him to take his rightful place as King Richard III of England. Jackson, who was 67 at the time, repeatedly clubbed Lawrence with his walking cane. During the ensuing scuffle, Lawrence took another pistol out of his pocket and pulled the trigger. But that gun also misfired. Bystanders joined in, wrestling Lawrence to the ground and disarming him. One of them was Rep. Davy Crockett of Tennessee. The U.S. Secret Service — which is now charged with protecting presidents, members of ...

An ordinary citizen with a gun : A 22-year-old car theft suspect tried to elude police Tuesday morning, but was stopped in his tracks when he was confronted by a gun-toting 64-year-old woman. "I was not going to let him go," said Karen Granville, who lives on Redwood Street. "I just held my gun in my right hand until the police arrested him." Granville helped authorities nab Roderick Willis after he led them on a short chase. He was suspected of driving a stolen vehicle, authorities said. Daytona Beach police were looking for a stolen vehicle about 3 a.m. Tuesday when a Volusia County sheriff's deputy spotted an orange Dodge Charger traveling west on Sixth Street. The deputy tried to stop the vehicle, but a chase quickly ensued, according to a report from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. A sheriff's helicopter tracked the suspect to Redwood Street, where deputies say Willis ditched the vehicle in the driveway in front of Granville's hom...

News stories just don’t get more inspiring than this. If you enjoyed last week’s story about an 11 year old girl using a gun to defend herself from three armed burglars, get a load of this: Sarah McKinley, an 18-year-old mother from Oklahoma, who tragically lost her husband to cancer on Christmas Day of 2011, found herself and her three-month-old son in danger on New Year’s Eve when two men tried to break into her home, aggressively banging on doors and hitting them with their shoulders to gain entry. Thinking fast, McKinley moved a couch in front of one door to block it, took her baby to the bedroom, and put a bottle in his mouth to quiet him. That’s when McKinley called 911 while brandishing two guns, a 12-gauge shotgun and a pistol. As the 911 emergency response operator spoke with McKinley to keep her calm, the teen mother asked for permission to shoot the intruders: “I’ve got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?” The dispatcher, Diane Graham, told...

So let me get this straight, people who want to ban guns "to keep us safer" would actually have preferred that 11-year-old Alyssa Gutierrez didn't have a gun on the night her house was attacked by three armed burglars when she was home alone? Many well-meaning people believe that banning guns would make us safer, but my bleeding heart goes out to people like 11-year-old Alyssa Gutierrez, who used one of her family’s guns to defend herself and her family’s house when three armed burglars attempted to break in while young Alyssa was home alone. Without a gun to protect herself, Alyssa, who was taught how to fire it just days before her home was attacked, would have been a helpless victim, not a proud and empowered defender of home and self. Those are actually Alyssa’s words, who told a local news channel: “I felt proud of myself.” Read my entire article at The Silver Underground .

No you didn't read that wrong. These kinds of incidents are the reason why more and more people in America are starting to agree that the police are OUT OF CONTROL . Allentown City Surveillance cameras capture Allentown police officer ramming a 14 year-old student against a parked car. After that he backs away and pulls out his taser. Although the minor puts up her hands in surrender, he zaps her in the groin, and she goes down in agony. She had to be hospitalized so the barbs could be removed from her. Date is 9/29/11. Lehigh Valley's Morning Call reports : The mother of a 14-year-old Dieruff High School student has filed a federal lawsuit claiming an Allentown police officer used excessive force when he shot her daughter in the groin with a stun gun during class dismissal in September. Victoria Geist says her daughter, Keshana Wilson, had her arms raised high to indicate she surrendered when officer Jason Ammary pointed a Taser at her on Sept. 29 outside the high sc...
