John Stossel - Libertarians And Republicans - Video

Americas foremost libertarian, Ron Paul, received a standing ovation Friday from Canadian conservatives gathered for an annual conference, after a speech that advocated the abolition of central banks, income tax and social programs.

But on the sidelines of the networking conference, sponsored by the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, some Tories noted that Mr. Pauls views were disconnected from the more moderate Canadian conservative movement and the nation in general.

A survey released at the conference indicated Canadians still count on government to handle the economy.

Were not Americans in that sense [Canadians] regard government as a positive force, said longtime conservative pollster Andre Turcotte, adding that the public is looking for more innovative ways of service delivery.

Few Conservative parliamentarians attended Mr. Pauls morning speech, in which he encapsulated his views on the primacy of individual liberty and the problems with current economic models all centred on the concept of government getting out of the way of peoples lives and the free market.

Mr. Paul formerly a Republican leadership candidate and congressman is an opponent of centralized monetary policy, government support for industry, federal social programs and the regulation of illicit drugs. At home, he has advocated for the abolition of the federal Health and Education departments.

Wouldnt it be correct to assume that the fruits of your labour are also yours to keep? Mr. Paul said, interrupted by applause.

My goodness, that would be a challenging thought. What does that mean? There wouldnt be any income tax? Thats right, we wouldnt have income taxes, because it would be your money. Then everyone would start worrying then how would you pay for the government? Well, why dont we have a lot less government and we wouldnt have to worry about that. Thats what Id like.

Preston Manning, the former Reform party leader and host of the conference, later asked Mr. Paul questions but did not challenge his views. Much of the conference agenda was dominated by guests associated with the more libertarian Reform party-Canadian Alliance side of the Tory family.

But the current Conservative government under Stephen Harper has heavily branded its stimulus project the Economic Action Plan as the cornerstone of the governments agenda. Its skills programs, funding for seniors and snowmobile clubs, and various industrial subsidies would appear antithetical to Mr. Pauls non-interventionist policies.

Conservatives warmly welcome U.S. libertarian Ron Paul in Ottawa

Senior Operations Manager for Butler/Wilson Dining Services Donald DeZarn has announced that he will run as the Libertarian candidate in Novembers election for state senator of the 14th Legislative District of New Jersey. While his platform includes advocacy for small businesses and free enterprise, he said he also hopes to initiate a dialogue on what he calls sensitive issues by openly supporting gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana.

Because the New Jersey Libertarian Party does not conduct a primary election, DeZarn will automatically be nominated at a statewide Libertarian convention on March 16. He will run against the incumbent Democratic Senator Linda Greenstein. The Republican Party has not yet announced any candidates.

The 2013 run for state senator will be DeZarns first political campaign. He has been employed by Dining Services for the past 17 years, although he took a yearlong military leave in 2005 to serve in the Iraq War.

DeZarn became interested in pursuing a political campaign after waking up one morning and asking himself, What happened to my country that I love? DeZarn explained that he was inspired to run for office after hearing about the financial struggles of both his neighbors in East Windsor and his colleagues in Dining Services. He added that he believes that both Democrats and Republicans today are limiting the free enterprise system.

It makes me sick to see our state give out subsidies while the mom-and-pop private businesses dont get that even playing field, he said. No one really has a plan to get us out of this mess.

DeZarn said that in addition to minimizing government regulation of small businesses, he intends to start a movement by generating conversations about marijuana legalization and the rights of gay men and women.

There are politicians in Trenton who agree with me on these issues, but theyre not willing to be the first to stand up for them for political reasons, DeZarn explained. But Im not a politician, so I have nothing to lose.

In particular, DeZarn noted that he believes that marijuana could benefit many patients. He said that elderly individuals with chronic ailments should be able to access the drug.

DeZarn added that marijuana prohibition laws are racist, as he believes certain groups in the population are targeted more heavily than others.

Its not only young black males that use marijuana, he said.

The big draw guest at this year's Manning Networking Conference is former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. He's best known as the world's most prominent libertarian politician.

But are libertarian values a large part of politics in Canada?

In the annual Manning Barometer report, less than 1% of Canadians identified as libertarian. This is despite the fact the majority of respondents indicated a preference for small government over big - the hallmark of libertarian philosophy.

While many small government proponents may end up siding with big tent conservative parties - like Ron Paul did throughout most of his political career - Canadians on both sides of the border also have the option of electing outright libertarians.

While not widely reported, the official Libertarian vote more than doubled in the United States' 2012 presidential election to 1.3 million votes. Their candidate was former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson.

The Libertarian Party of Canada was founded in 1973 and received registered status after fielding 50 candidates in the 1979 election.

The party has yet to capture a sizeable number of votes. In the 2011 federal election the party received 6,017 votes, down from their 1988 peak of 33,000.

"I didn't become a libertarian until 2008 because I didn't know the party existed," says Allen Small, current leader of the provincial Ontario Libertarian Party. "The most important thing we want to do is raise the profile."

Ron Paul speaks Friday morning at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

Gun Control, Libertarianism, and the coming economic collapse in light of the Gospel (2/27/13)
R3VOLUTION RADIO February 27, 2013 R3V RADIO relaunches with the aim of testing a variety of pressing political issues and influential movements from a Christ-centered perspective, including: * The coming economic collapse as it relates to the Gospel. * The ruling class #39; inclination toward disarming the ruled class (aka "Gun Control") and how this relates to the Gospel. * The rise of Libertarianism as it relates to the Gospel. * The Alex Jones radio program, and other growing voices in the Libertarian movement, and how they relate to the Gospel. (See a trend here?) As this preview of things to come closes, and in preparation for future broadcasts, listeners are encouraged to revisit and contemplate the meaning and relationship between two particular, and particularly significant items. This pre-relaunch intro is a bit on the rough side (the creaking chair heard in the background will be banished from all future broadcasts). Your patience is much appreciated as we get settled into the new R3V RADIO HQ. Thanks for taking the time to listen and prayerfully consider these things. Please send your thoughts, feedback, correction and/or hate mail to feedback@FireBreathingChristians.com.

UPDATED: March 1, 2013, at 8:26 a.m.

Members of Harvard College Queer Students and Allies and the Harvard Libertarian Forum gathered Thursday evening to seal and send off a box filled with 1,624 letters for the Food and Drug Administration.

The letters, signed by approximately a quarter of Harvard undergraduates, protested a government policy that universally bans men who have had sex with other men from donating blood.

Over a six-week period last semester, the campaigners visited every dining hall to collect signatures and raise awareness among students.

The policy, a holdover from the era of the AIDS epidemic, effects a lifetime ban on blood donation for males who have had sex with another male since 1977.

The members of both organizations decided to start thecampaign when they noticed that despite frequent blood drives at Harvard, there was little dialogue on campus about the ban, which they called archaic, judgmental, and ineffective.

Students were extremely receptive, and [for] others that werent, we had a chance to engage with the issue, which is really valuable, too, said Benjamin L. DeVore 15, a former political co-chair of the QSA.

Though they acknowledged that theirs was an unusual partnership, both groups said that their interests aligned perfectly on the issue.

We come from the standpoint that the government shouldnt be intervening in medical affairs, said Corinne H. Curcie 15, president of the Libertarian Forum.

Every unit of donated blood gets tested for HIV, said Curcie, who also referred to a study by the American Medical Association that called the policy ethically inconsistent with the FDAs other regulations.
