Liberty Or Death
May 14th, 2008Liberty Or Death
Or More Of The Same?
Blog About Nothing is NOT a political blog, and will not become one.
However, as a long time Libertarian, I will do whatever I can to promote knowledge about the Libertarian Party and it’s platform. I don’t know how anyone can go the the polls and make a conscientious vote without knowledge of each party, and each candidate.
Personally, in the presidential election, I will be voting Libertarian. What are the alternatives?
Clown #1: A racist black lawyer and his dog wife who said she was never proud to be an American until hubby started getting famous.
Clown #2: A dog-ugly female lawyer married to a famous philandering lawyer who set this country on the wrong track after the great Reagan put us on the right track.
Clown #3: A senile former POW who is probably dying of melanoma. Censured by the Senate for his role in the Savings and Loan debacle.
It’s sad that this is the choice we’ve been presented with. These are the “best” the major parties can come up with.
At this time, it’s very likely that Bob Barr will be the Libertarian nominee. I voted for Mr. Barr as a Republican and I will also vote for him as a Libertarian.
A little background from his website:
Bob Barr represented the 7th District of Georgia in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003, serving as a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, as Vice-Chairman of the Government Reform Committee, and as a member of the Committee on Financial Services. He now runs a consulting firm, Liberty Strategies LLC, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and with offices in the Washington, D.C. area.
Bob Barr chose to join the Libertarian Party because at this time in our nation’s history, it is essential to join and work with a party that is 100 percent committed to protecting liberty.
Bob Barr has served as Regional Representative of the Libertarian National Committee.
Bob Barr works tirelessly to help preserve our fundamental right to privacy and our other civil liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. Along with this, Bob is committed to helping elect leaders who will strive for smaller government, lower taxes and abundant individual freedom.
Bob BarrBob Barr also occupies the 21st Century Liberties Chair for Freedom and Privacy at the American Conservative Union, and is a Board Member of the National Rifle Association. Bob Barr is also a member of The Constitution Project’s Initiative on Liberty and Security, and he served from 2003 to 2005 as a member of a project at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University addressing matters of privacy and security. In fact, recognizing Bob Barr’s leadership in privacy matters, New York Times columnist William Safire has called him “Mr. Privacy.”
Bob Barr was appointed by President Reagan to serve as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia (1986-90), and served as President of Southeastern Legal Foundation (1990-91). He was an official with the CIA (1971-78), and has practiced law for many years.
