COMMENTS I’VE POSTED

1. Posted to Facebook —

   Weld’s not a libertarian in that he gives no credible evidence that he cares one bit about the Non-Aggression Principle. And anyone who can credibly make any sort of claim to be an “original libertarian” is probably deceased — David F. Nolan, Murray Rothbard, for example.

   From the article —

   “I strongly encourage all of us to take a good look at the candidates running for governor and ask ourselves — do they share my values and would they make good decisions if we hire them as our chief executive? Or will they crumple up the bill and throw it in the garbage?”

   All of the New Mexico Democrats who have thrown their hats into the ring for the 2018 gubernatorial race (and for the 1st U.S. Congressional seat) don’t share my political values — Constitutionally-limited government, individual rights and responsibility, laissez-nous-faire free market economics, and public-sector fiscal restraint — at all. Indeed, they seem to view those concepts as their own personal Charmin rolls, instead.

   I CAN’T STAY SILENT ANYMORE.
   I am here to aid those that want gun control. I’m taking a stand and getting involved: if you or your friends have a pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle looking to be removed, I will take it (permanently) and ensure it ends up in a safe place. I normally charge for this service but I’m willing to waive my normal fees because I care. Free pickup service available under 50 miles. Private message me today! Please share!
