    Some so-called libertarians are confused by the romance of getting one’s way with the point of a gun. Here is a primer on Black Lives Matter, the organization that needs to be distinguished from the truism that black lives matter equally to every person’s rights.

    Black Lives Matter, the organization, is not libertarian in the least. It is a violent, Marxist organization with an anti-liberty philosophy. This was clearer before they sanitized their Facebook, but it is still there for people who have the eyes to read and an understanding of what rights are. The Libertarian Party cannot play nice with these people and expect to retain our liberty.

    The idea that black lives matter is a truism. Of course they do, and in the cases where police brutality occur it needs to be said.

    Libertarians do not need Marxist or other totalitarian talking points to know that or act on it. We support the right of each person to his or her own life, liberty, and property. Any organization that promotes the destruction of property or claims that certain individuals do not have rights because of who their ancestors were, or what their skin tone is, is not libertarian, and any so-called libertarian who supports them is either confused or disingenuous.

    Black Lives Matter, the organization has hijacked the issue that individual black lives do matter, in order to spread their hatred of liberty and their plan for a totalitarian society that they believe they will rule. Libertarians cannot support this.

    The LP must not get used by such an organization. We can and should condemn police brutality as a violation of individual rights, AND at the same time, condemn the destruction of anyone’s property as the violation of individual rights.

    As for the destruction of public monuments, the problem is still clear. Groups can own things together, and destruction of those things is still violence. We should not support it. At the same time, we should support the movement of those problematic monuments out of shared space into museums that can place them in their historical contexts, so we can teach them the context. This will take time, and intellectual effort that transcends slogans and the point of a gun. It is worth doing. Tearing down an entire society and replacing it with either chaos or Marxism is not an option for libertarians — whether big or small L.

    I support the Second Amendment, but . . . .

    But even if it were repealed tomorrow, by unanimous votes of the full U.S. House, the full U.S. Senate, and all the full memberships of all fifty state legislatures, with supporting resolutions from every municipal and county body in the nation, the right that it’s supposed to protect — the civil, Constitutional, human, individual right to own and carry weapons — doesn’t go away one bit.

    If anything, that’s when you need to own weapons and be proficient in their use the most.

    What sort of lawsuit needs to be filed against Baldy to put a stop to this?!

    He wants to act as an attorney for the DNC on his own time and his own dime, that’s fine — it’s his cash and life to waste.

    When he signs these letters and briefs as “Hector Balderas, NM Attorney General,” he’s implying that he represents everyone in New Mexico.

    From 1959 to 1969, the #poverty rate was nearly cut in half while government did little to address poverty.

    However, after the war on poverty was fully implemented in the early seventies, progress stopped.

    Fifty years of federal anti-poverty programs — zero impact. Government anti-poverty programs don’t work.

    The real cure for poverty is a vibrant economy that generates plentiful jobs and high wages, combined with an affordable cost of living.

    As President, I will work to eliminate policies that cripple economic growth. I will give special attention to regulations driving up the cost of housing and health care, as well as those creating barriers to creating new businesses or entering professions. Finally, I will work to repeal laws and regulations that prevent individuals and charitable organizations from helping those in need.

“I CAN’T LOOT THOSE PEOPLE’S STUFF AND I’M MAD”

Fellow members of the Productive Class, allow me to present to you the core constituency of the Political Classholes.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5BeQ1w4bfA&w=560&h=315]

While I’m sure that the person in the video clip probably wouldn’t be welcome at most if any of the cocktail parties on the DC circuit, the state capitals, or major metropolitian regions, still, she does rather nicely sum up the attitude that they display towards the rest of us — “We should be able to take your stuff when we feel like it.”

If ANYTHING on the internet should convince you of the importance of the right to own and carry weapons, it’s that clip right there.

    I suspect that while Howie might be more approachable and less dictatorial where temperament is concerned, on the issues, he’s still in hip-deep with the DNC and its water carriers here in New Mexico. I’d love to be proven wrong here, but I don’t think that he would have been picked for the Lieutenant Governor spot if that’s indeed the case.

    Dan Valdez — every last bit of the welfare state that transfers wealth from those that earned it to those that didn’t earn it.

    If you actually cared about the people that are supposed to be helped by it, you would want it to be changed from a series of bloated, bureaucratic legalized vote-buying schemes to a bunch of 501-c-3 type non-profits that are forbidden in their charters from accepting any tax money or lobbying government bodies for anything.

    Let’s see how much you actually do care about the poor, the homeless and the disabled.

    Racist statues suck, but racist *statutes* are far worse. There are tens of thousands of crimes used to harass people at will, so many that even the federal government has lost count. When everyone is technically a criminal, they can bother whoever they choose.

    Racists hide behind all these laws to legitimize their actions.

    Want to fix it?

    End the war on drugs. Repeal all gun control laws. Strike every malum prohibitum law from the books. End occupational licensing. Stop taxing everything. End traffic and equipment stops for anything not an immediate and serious danger to the public (car is literally on fire, seriously reckless acts).

    We have to deny them cover. Only then will racism in policing end.

    It must be all those extra virus particles that all the Trumpies are exhaling into the atmosphere (’cause they ain’t following orders and wearing their masks!) that are holding the heat in.

    COVID-19 and carbon dioxide and methane from cow farts and natural gas wells all combine together to do this. Plus they all destroy the ozone layer, then rain down on the oceans and make all the plastic waste there super-duper-extra-toxic.

    We said this, therefore it’s true.

    PS: It’s racism, sexism, misogyny and homophobia to deny this.

    PPS: Don’t forget to blame Israel somehow.

    For when Lt. Governor Howie Morales pulls down his post gloating over the loss of new water for the Southwest New Mexico region because of all of the negative comments.

    Shame on you Howie. You sold out the citizens in favor of the radical environmentalists who have repeatedly inflicted destruction on the natural resources and economies of our region. This is the only new water available for our state.

    Former State Engineer Steve Reynolds, past Governors, U.S. Senators and Representatives fought to replace what was lost from the Gila and San Francisco Rivers users during the Arizona v. California litigation. They must be rolling over in their graves.

    To accomplish this action your administration violated the terms and conditions of the agreements and memorandums entered between the Interstate Stream Commission, the Bureau of Reclamation and the elected representatives of the people of Southwest New Mexico.

    There will be no additional clean reliable water unless you participate in the theft of that water from the current owners. The fund you anticipate raiding may pay for a few infrastructure projects but then it will be gone. No doubt the spending will line the pockets of your political cronies and leave rate payers with future cost increases.

    Considering the behavior of the 2016 presidential and vice-presidential nominees (“we’re not going to roll those laws back,” “we’re not going to repeal these laws,” “Hillary Clinton is a fine public servant,” “pull the pin out of the AR-15 and it becomes full auto,” “I’ve always supported the individual mandate,” “someone besides the DNC has to stick up for Hillary”), I’ve thought about getting a MAGA hat and wearing it while telling people I was a Libertarian.

    NOT because Trump is a libertarian, but because the LP membership is willing to tolerate such egregious pissing on its principles by its nominees in the name of “getting people elected.”
