6.30 Curragh- Irish Derby- Better Place Odds Win: Libertarian 7/2

But Libertarian deserves more respect than he is being given ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby and should be backed at 7/2 to beat Ruler Of The World and the rest.

Having descended Tattenham Corner with just Mars behind him, William Buick was hard at work on the horse from over three furlongs out but it wasn't for at least a quarter of a mile that he started to make proper inroads towards the leader.

His failure to find a change of gear any earlier was partly a consequence of the absurd lack of early pace that turned the contest into a four-furlong sprint, but just as much a result of the fact that he lacks the cruising speed of some of the rivals he will face here. Even Libertarian's most ardent supporter would have to admit that it is his achilles heel in exalted company such as this.

However, not only is the Curragh a more orthodox track that is less likely to trick the horse as he tries to find full stride in the home straight, but this is also a race where the prospect of an unsuitably slow pace (and the consequent shift of emphasis from stamina to speed) appears far less likely, not least because Libertarian's new owners have supplemented in a pacemaker, just in case.

Ruler Of The World is an admirable racehorse and a worthy Derby winner, but there is no doubt in my mind that he benefited from a typically wise Ryan Moore ride at Epsom, and that the sprint that unfolded once Dawn Approach began to flap in front suited him far more than those ridden from the rear of the field.

Can he reverse that form? I don't believe he's a certainty to do so, but I do believe his prospects are better than the market suggests.

A separate argument is whether he will necessarily be able to replicate his Dante victory over Trading Leather and it's interesting to read Donn McClean's case for the latter to reverse the verdict.

However in my view - barring one aberration at Sandown - Libertarian has improved with every start, perhaps not unexpectedly for a horse who was too backward to race at two, and his upward curve may not have reached a peak year.

Libertarian Candidate Sarvis Makes Ballot in Virginia Governor's Race

John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, speaks while surrounded by Whole Foods employees during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Dec. 9, 2008.

John Mackey, the founder and co-CEO of trendy organic supermarket chain Whole Foods, has joined Students for Liberty's board of advisors.

The libertarian student group announced Mackey's new position Thursday. The businessman joins a dozen other notable advisors, including 2012 Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson and UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh.

Mackey is well-known for his conservative political positions. Earlier this year, Mackey said President Barack Obama's 2010 health care reform law was consistent with fascism. "In fascism, the government doesn't own the means of production, but they do control it and that's what's happening with our health care programs and these reforms," heexplained to NPR. Mackey later said using the term fascism was "a bad choice."

Mackey has co-authored two books, "Conscious Capitalism" and "Be the Solution" and contributed to the book "The Morality of Capitalism."

Whole Foods operates more than 300 stores nationwide.

"Students For Liberty empowers students all over the world to be entrepreneurial activists on behalf of a free and prosperous society," Mackey said in a statement released by the group. "They've created an impressive and growing community of young people who understand and promote the ethical foundations of capitalism based on the importance of voluntary exchange and cooperation."

Students for Liberty's President Alexander McCobin praised Mackey as "perhaps the leading figure today challenging the negative and erroneous stereotypes often associated with capitalism" in a released statement.

During the 2012 election, Mackey surprised some of his customers by donating $10,000 to the Republican National Committee and making two $2,500 donations to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. He also made two $2,500 donations to Johnson one as the former New Mexico governor sought the GOP nomination in 2011, and another in July 2012, after he was nominated as the Libertarian candidate.

Whole Foods CEO Joins Libertarian Student Group's Board of Advisors

Having seen Dawn Approach snared by a slow pace in the Derby, Godolphin seem determined to retain control of their own destiny with the colt they have since acquired out of the same race. Libertarian, who charged home for second as Dawn Approach was tailing off at Epsom, will run in Godolphin colours for the first time when making his final appearance for Elaine and Karl Burke in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on Saturday. And he will be joined by Cap O'Rushes, upgraded from handicap company at Royal Ascot last week, as security against a lack of pace in his rematch with Ruler Of The World.

Stoutly bred as he is, Libertarian did well to make up so much ground in a sprint finish at Epsom, having been left with plenty to do when failing to handle the descent into Tattenham Corner. He will again be ridden by William Buick.

Four of the 11 colts still in contention are trained by Aidan O'Brien, who has so dominated the Irish Derby in recent years. These are headed by Ruler Of The World, who himself could hardly have been expected to profit from a slow gallop at Epsom but none the less won well on only his third career start.

Galileo Rock, third at Epsom, must also reverse form with Sugar Boy, who had beaten him at Sandown in April. (Libertarian was behind them both that day, albeit with excuses.) Another fresh factor in the equation is Little White Cloud, bred to improve at the longer trip. "He's an outsider," his trainer, John Oxx, acknowledged. "But he is a nice horse who has run well in two trials after we had a virus which knocked us for six."

Coral offer 33-1 against Little White Cloud, behind Ruler Of The World at 6-5 and Libertarian 100-30. Jim Bolger will be represented in his own silks by Trading Leather, a 6-1 shot alongside Galileo Rock. Battle Of Marengo and Sugar Boy are the only others given a serious chance, at 8-1, but O'Brien may be reluctant to turn out the former so soon after a hard race at Ascot.

Godolphin plan to rush Irish pace for Libertarian

The colt has been bought by Godolphin and will be having his final start for Elaine Burke this weekend before he joins Saeed bin Suroor in Newmarket.

Unraced as a two-year-old, Libertarian has made giant strides this season, winning a Pontefract maiden in April before disappointing in the San-down Classic Trial.

However, the son of New Approach bounced back to win the Dante at York under Buick, who also rode him to finish second to Ruler Of The World, whom he will meet again this weekend, in the Epsom Derby.

Karl Burke, the North Yorkshire trainer's husband and assistant, said yesterday: "William Buick will ride him again. He did a routine canter this morning and will be supplemented. We are very happy with him and he has come on again."

Burke added: "It's a great privilege and an honour to have a classic runner for such prestigious owners and we're very grateful to Sheikh Mohammed and his team for the opportunity.

"The Curragh will suit him better than Epsom as he's a big, galloping horse. I thought he handled Epsom as well as could be expected. Unfortunately, the pace steadied and he wasn't in a good position to start his run.

"Hopefully, the pace is stronger now. He'll handle any ground bar extremes."

Aidan O'Brien confirmed Ruler Of The World on target, and that he may be joined by Derby also-ran Festive Cheer. O'Brien added last year's Oaks winner Was would be in action at the meeting.

"The plan is to run Was in the Pretty Polly," he said. "Hopefully, one of the Ascot horses will come back for the Railway Stakes."

Jim Bolger will saddle Trading Leather, who ran so well behind Magician in the Irish Guineas.

Racing: Libertarian set for Ireland with Buick keeping ride

As far as I know its his last run for us, he said. Were not really thinking beyond the race. Hell fly over on Friday and all I know at the moment is that the plan is for him to return here to Spigot Lodge immediately after the race, and were very grateful to Sheikh Mohammed to let him run for Godolphin from here.

In the Derby Libertarian just struggled off Tattenham Corner.

Ruler Of The World quickened better as they straightened up but Libertarian finished like a steam train and went down only by a fast diminishing length and a half at the line.

Well be sorry to see him go because, although Daring Destiny and Lord Shanakill were both rated marginally higher, hes the best horse weve had and Im sure hell end his career rated higher than the 117 he was given for coming second at Epsom, Burke said.

He has a great shot. The track should suit him much better at The Curragh and the pace of the race should be better for him.

We think hes improved, although Im sure a few others will have come on again.

Libertarian will be ridden, as he was at Epsom, by William Buick, but Godolphin, who bought the New Approach colt from Danish restaurateur Hubert Strecker, also supplemented Cap ORushes, fourth in last weeks King George V Handicap, to ensure that the race is not a crawl, as the Derby was at Epsom. The experienced Pat Smullen will ride.

Aidan OBrien has four still in the race but confirmed Ruler Of The World and Festive Cheer his two most likely runners, although he also has Battle Of Marengo and Count Of Limonade.

David Wachman also plans to run Epsom third Galileo Rock, while Sugar Boy, who beat both Galileo Rock and Libertarian in the Sandown Classic trial but skipped Epsom, is also in the line-up.

Longtime Republican Del. Joe May went unchallenged for the previous two election cycles, but now three candidates are fighting for the 33rd District House of Delegates seat.

Libertarian Patrick Hagerty of Leesburg has entered the race to represent the 33rd District, which stretches from Leesburg into Clarke and Frederick counties. Hagerty facesHamiltonconservative Dave LaRock, who defeated May in the June 11 primary election, and Democrat Mary L.C. Daniel, an attorney from Berryville.

Hagerty, 30, has owned a kennel just outside of Leesburg for seven years called Howl of a Good Time. He considers himself the only candidate for the 33rd District who has residents freedoms and liberties as their priorities.

Washington is calling all the shots for everybody, and our last defense to intervene is Richmond, he said. Someone needs to be down in Richmond with our best interests in mind.

Hagerty said even the process he went through to get the Board of Supervisors to grant him the special exception required for the operation of a kennel on his property was an example of governments mismanagement.

They have all these rules and regulations, and the left hand doesnt know the right hand is doing, he said. The government is too big and has too much control. They try to micromanage everything and its counter productive.

Winner of the Dante Stakes at York in May, the colt outran his odds at Epsom when chasing home Ruler Of The World, finishing as well as anything under William Buick.

He will tackle the Derby winner again a week on Saturday in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh.

Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford told http://www.godolphin.com. "We are delighted to have acquired Libertarian.

"His form is excellent and it is great to have a new addition to our team.

"We look forward to seeing him run in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on Saturday week."

Assistant trainer Karl Burke said: "I believe the deal has gone through and as far as I know we're training him up to the Irish Derby next weekend.

"It goes without saying that we'll be sorry to see him go as his best days are in front of him but we've been very lucky to have him.

"We'd be delighted if he could win the Irish Derby before joining Godolphin.

Godolphin swoop for Libertarian

Libertarian pundit John Stossel admitted to Bill OReilly tonight that he cant join in the libertarian outrage over the NSA surveilling Americans private communications because it just doesnt bother him that much. He argued that privacy is already being violated en masse by large companies like Google and Facebook. OReilly challenged him, saying that there should be cause for concern due to potential government abuse like in the case of the IRS.

Stossel told OReilly, My privacy is already blown Amazon knows, Facebook knows all kinds of things about me. OReilly admitted hes confused by all this tech stuff, saying that while he can understand websites like his own being able to track who pops on and goes to certain pages, he cant imagine how these sites are tracking all sorts of user information.

RELATED: OReilly Reins In GOP Strategist On NSA: Not Just Obama Admin., You Cant Trust Any Government Agency

Stossel shrugged his shoulders and said it could happen, but ultimately, I figure everything is out there, I try not to have secrets. He did admit there is a difference between companies monitoring user data and nations monitoring the peoples data, because Google and Facebook cant lock me up or kill me.

OReillly shot back that there is strong potential for abuse if someone involved in the surveillance leaks information through improper and illegal channels. Stossel acknowledged his position has put him at odds with his fellow libertarians, saying Ive been called a traitor to the libertarian cause. He concluded by the segment by saying it should be an outrage that four million people are given the security clearance to see these programs in action.

Darkwood Byte: Frank Schaeffer on the Vast Non-Existent Biblical Libertarian Agenda - Video

Why be libertarian, anyway? By this we mean, what's the point of the whole thing? Why engage in a deep and lifelong commitment to the principle and the goal of individual liberty? For such a commitment, in our largely unfree world, means inevitably a radical disagreement with, and alienation from, the status quo, an alienation which equally inevitably imposes many sacrifices in money and prestige. When life is short and the moment of victory far in the future, why go through all this?

Incredibly, we have found among the increasing number of libertarians in this country many people who come to a libertarian commitment from one or another extremely narrow and personal point of view. Many are irresistibly attracted to liberty as an intellectual system or as an aesthetic goal, but liberty remains for them a purely intellectual parlor game, totally divorced from what they consider the "real" activities of their daily lives. Others are motivated to remain libertarians solely from their anticipation of their own personal financial profit. Realizing that a free market would provide far greater opportunities for able, independent men to reap entrepreneurial profits, they become and remain libertarians solely to find larger opportunities for business profit. While it is true that opportunities for profit will be far greater and more widespread in a free market and a free society, placing one's primary emphasis on this motivation for being a libertarian can only be considered grotesque. For in the often tortuous, difficult and grueling path that must be trod before liberty can be achieved, the libertarian's opportunities for personal profit will far more often be negative than abundant.

The consequence of the narrow and myopic vision of both the gamester and the would-be profit maker is that neither group has the slightest interest in the work of building a libertarian movement. And yet it is only through building such a movement that liberty may ultimately be achieved. Ideas, and especially radical ideas, do not advance in the world in and by themselves, as it were in a vacuum; they can only be advanced by people and, therefore, the development and advancement of such people and therefore of a "movement" becomes a prime task for the libertarian who is really serious about advancing his goals.

Turning from these men of narrow vision, we must also see that utilitarianism the common ground of free-market economists is unsatisfactory for developing a flourishing libertarian movement. While it is true and valuable to know that a free market would bring far greater abundance and a healthier economy to everyone, rich and poor alike, a critical problem is whether this knowledge is enough to bring many people to a lifelong dedication to liberty.

In short, how many people will man the barricades and endure the many sacrifices that a consistent devotion to liberty entails, merely so that umpteen percent more people will have better bathtubs? Will they not rather set up for an easy life and forget the umpteen percent bathtubs? Ultimately, then, utilitarian economics, while indispensable in the developed structure of libertarian thought and action, is almost as unsatisfactory a basic ground work for the movement as those opportunists who simply seek a short-range profit.

It is our view that a flourishing libertarian movement, a lifelong dedication to liberty can only be grounded on a passion for justice. Here must be the mainspring of our drive, the armor that will sustain us in all the storms ahead, not the search for a quick buck, the playing of intellectual games or the cool calculation of general economic gains. And, to have a passion for justice, one must have a theory of what justice and injustice are in short, a set of ethical principles of justice and injustice, which cannot be provided by utilitarian economics.

"A flourishing libertarian movement, a lifelong dedication to liberty can only be grounded on a passion for justice."

It is because we see the world reeking with injustices piled one on another to the very heavens that we are impelled to do all that we can to seek a world in which these and other injustices will be eradicated. Other traditional radical goals such as the "abolition of poverty" are, in contrast to this one, truly utopian, for man, simply by exerting his will, cannot abolish poverty. Poverty can only be abolished through the operation of certain economic factors notably the investment of savings in capital which can only operate by transforming nature over a long period of time. In short, man's will is here severely limited by the workings of to use an old-fashioned but still valid term natural law. But injustices are deeds that are inflicted by one set of men on another; they are precisely the actions of men, and, hence, they and their elimination are subject to man's instantaneous will.

Let us take an example: England's centuries-long occupation and brutal oppression of the Irish people. Now if, in 1900, we had looked at the state of Ireland, and we had considered the poverty of the Irish people, we would have had to say: poverty could be improved by the English getting out and removing their land monopolies, but the ultimate elimination of poverty in Ireland, under the best of conditions, would take time and be subject to the workings of economic law. But the goal of ending English oppression that could have been done by the instantaneous action of men's will: by the English simply deciding to pull out of the country.

The fact that of course such decisions do not take place instantaneously is not the point; the point is that the very failure is an injustice that has been decided upon and imposed by the perpetrators of injustice in this case, the English government. In the field of justice, man's will is all; men can move mountains, if only men so decide. A passion for instantaneous justice in short, a radical passion is therefore not utopian, as would be a desire for the instant elimination of poverty or the instant transformation of everyone into a concert pianist. For instant justice could be achieved if enough people so willed.

WASHINGTON: Republican lawmakers, under whose dispensation the first pervasive intrusions into civil liberties began in the post-9 /11 era, were scathing against NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and his ilk of what they considered misguided youth.

According to one account, South Carolina's Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the biggest threat US intelligence these days isn't so much Russian spies, but disaffected young men like Snowden; Private Bradley Manning, who is accused of being behind Wikileaks; and Aaron Swartz, the activist founder of social news site Reddit who committed suicide earlier this year after the government brought charges of wire and computer fraud for illegally downloading millions of documents on him.

"I think that there's a group of people, younger people who are not fighting the war, who are libertarians mostly, who feel like the government is the problem," Time's national security blog quoted Graham as saying, while maintaining that, "those who are trained to defend us are a bigger threat than those who are trying to attack us." Graham not only wanted Snowden to be brought to justice and punished severely so that "the next 29-year-old who thinks that they're going to be some cult figure will think twice," but he also recommended a government unit of "watchers watching the watchers.''

There have been some rare exceptions to this establishment credo of national security above all else. Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican whose libertarian father Ron Paul was the recipient of a $250 political donation from Edward Snowden, said Snowden's act was mere one of ''conscientious objector.'' Another outlier was Vermont's self-professed socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, who argued the debate really ought to be about excessive government intrusion.

But they were in a minority in a political establishment that largely backed the government's argument of national security imperative over civil liberties.

Meanwhile, the "Pardon Edward Snowden" petition on the White House website racked up more than 61,000 signatures as of Wednesday morning, about a third of the way to the 100,000 threshold that will merit a response from the White House.

Across on the west coast, tech giants Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter among companies caught in the flap, urged the Obama administration to allow them to disclose governments request for information, which is prohibited under current law. The tech giants, whose clientele include the kind of disaffected youth agitating against the older establishment, have also been embarrassed by suggestions that they are in cahoots with the government. Some experts have gone so far as to advise people to ditch these companies if they are found to have knowingly collaborated with the government.
