Sarah Palin supporter in 2008 campaign

Actress Janine Turner was one of Sarah Palin's earliest and most vocal supporters in her race for Vice-President in 2008. Now she's taking on a new project: Preaching the Constitution.

From Washington Whispers, US News & World Report, April 27:

Northern Exposure and Friday Night Lights actress Janine Turner has played Martha Washington and Alexander Hamilton's mom. But now she's fulfilling her lifetime role: Queen of the Constitution. "I've always had this fascination with the revolution," says the quirky actress who started Constituting America, which aims to get kids interested in the Constitution. "We live it every day, we just don't know it," she says. And Turner has proof that kids care. She and her daughter studied the Federalist Papers over spring break. Says young Juliette: "It's cool."

From Eric Dondero:

Craig Smith is a Libertarian Republican running for State Senate in Arizona's 25th Senate district. The district stretches from the New Mexico border to the outskirts of Yuma County, and includes a small portion of Pima County.

Smith is a retired U.S. Army Master Sargent with a Masters Degree in Public Administration.
He was born in Nogales, AZ, he's described as "a gringo that speaks Spanish."

He's the former Director of Community Development in Bisbee. He's been married 41 years and currently serves on the Huachuca City town council.

According to David Morgan, Smith's Campaign Manager, and a member of the Libertarian Party of Arizona:

Craig is a libertarian-Republican. A true believer in smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom. He believes in the rule of law, not personal whims, but he's aware that laws are sometimes poorly crafted and unevenly applied.

When Craig Smith takes the Oath of Office swearing to uphold the Constitutions of both the United States and Arizona he means it.

Reached by Libertarian Republican, Morgan said that they have already collected 100 signatures. He also informed LR that they have a number of volunteers, but that they needed more help to get the number needed to qualify.

Smith has taken the somewhat unusual step of refusing public money for his campaign:

I choose not to participate in Arizona Clean Election Public Financing as a matter of principle. Although it is tempting to get $35,000 of "free" public money to run my campaign, it is just morally wrong.

From Eric Dondero:

My old friend and political ally Leon Drolet is quoted in Time Magazine on-line, in the article "Detroiters Ponder Marijuana Legalization."

Former state Rep. Leon Drolet of Macomb Township calls himself "a very proud Libertarian Republican" who favors legalization."We all make decisions about our health, whether it's drinking alcohol or having a slice of cake. There's lots of things people choose to do because they feel, in some way, it enhances their quality of life," he said.

Leon is a former three-term State Representative from Macomb County (he was term-limited). He is a two-time attendee of Republican Liberty Caucus national conventions. He is a longtime close friend of the Libertarian Party of Michigan. (In 2008 Leon actually won a large-screen television set in a raffle at a meeting of the Macomb Libertarians.) He also volunteered as a campaign worker for two weeks in Congressman Ron Paul's first campaign in Texas in 1996.

He is now running for an open seat for the Michigan State Senate. Ironically, he is challenging two of his best friends for the seat, libertarian-leaning conservative former State Rep. Jack Brandenburg of St. Clair Shores, and Rep. Kim Meltzer who Drolet actually recruited to take his seat in the legislature after he was term-limited out.

From Eric Dondero:

There's an interesting post-election analysis this morning from a UK Libertarian Janina Davison-Forder in The Economic Voice. Davison-Forder breaks some remarkable news about Libertarian support for minor parties, in her lengthy piece, "A hung Parliament."

From The Economic Voice:

It is tomorrow morning – the words of Alistair Stewart, this morning. Well would you believe I have lasted this long. I shall be sending ITV a bill for the pack of Proplus and 3 litres of energy drinks I have consumed over the course of the night.

Well at least I can say that I had voted TORY! If nothing else there I was placing the most positive cross I have ever seen upon a piece of paper next to that little Tory tree that I am so glad exists. Although Britain, I am sad to say, that we placed our votes in vain, as we may as well have not bothered! As so many others seemed to on May the 6th!

All through the run up to the elections we saw UKIP and BNP trying their hardest to get ahead. Although despite their efforts and the added support of the Libertarian party urging us all to favour the two above the main parties, they did not see much success. Had the Libertarians had enough numbers to provide a Libertarian candidate for each constituency then I truly believe they would see a good few votes. These would probably come from all those undecided voters who in the end didn’t bother. A few seats filled with Libertarians would not have been a bad thing. Especially as we face five years of rules and regulations (or in case of banks lack of) imposed upon us by both Labour and the LibDems and no doubt, a far bigger presence of the red tape stuck to Britain by the EU. I am sure Clegg would not hesitate to allow his European friends access to all and in doing so allowing himself a bigger bank balance!

Libertarian leader Sean Gabb, a friend of the UK Libertarian Alliance founder Chris Tame, and the group's current Executive Director explained in Free Life Commentary:

The purpose of voting UKIP is mostly to put pressure on a Conservative leadership that understands no other argument than measuring the haemorrhage of its core vote. Indeed, it shows no sign of having understood that argument.

Gabb in his piece "The Conservative Hidden Agenda?" tells of a secret meeting he had over coffee with a top Conservative Party official, who urged him to rally Libertarians in support of the Tories. But he ultimately bulked over the suggestion, citing a similar effort made in the 1980s by Tory leaders to Tame and the Libertarians, with nothing to show for it.

Militant Pakistani, not a White Male Tea Partier

by Eric Dondero

Oh how things have changed so dramatically in this 24 hour news cycle of ours. Yesterday, the Right was on the defensive, fearing that indeed the Terrorist in New York would turn out to be some crazed Militia type, or Tea Party supporter. NPR led off their news report, "Top suspect a White Male..."

As Sister Toldjah describes below, some of the usual leftwing suspects, chimed in with the same talking points:

This is great news, and I hope the Feds have indeed got “their guy,” and I also hope that he leads them to other Islamofascist terrorists who were involved in this plot and perhaps who have been in the proceess of planning future terror attacks on Americans and other innocents both on our soil and abroad.

That said, I won’t hold my breath waiting for apologies from Democrat strategist Bob Beckel and Democrat Congressman Jerrold Nadler, both of whom yesterday suggested the Times Square bomber might well have been part of some “right wing” plot. Liberal NYC Mayor Bloomberg speculated it might be someone who “didn’t like the healthcare bill.” Beneath contempt all.

Watch the story now die a slow death on the back pages of the NY Times, WaPo, and relegated to the sidebar at CNN.com.

TeaBagger Pakistani?

HuffPo (h/t Memeo) is already spinning, saying that the bigger story of the day is the court ruling in Detroit on the alleged Militia members, the Hutaree. A liberal judge released them on bail saying the Feds had not made a strong enough case. Wrote HuffPo writer Louis Klavas, an NYU prof. "Do the Hutaree Militia Members Pose a Terrorist Threat?":

On Monday, while Americans were fixated on the hunt for and subsequent arrest of Faisal Shahzad for his alleged role in the Times Square bomb plot, an equally important terrorism-related story that was breaking in Detroit went relatively unnoticed.

It's also going to be interesting to watch the "head-in-the-sand" on Islamo-Fascism leftside of the libertarian movement. Leftwing libertarians, with the notable exception of Nick Gillespie of Reason, always seek to downplay the importance and the threat of Radical Islam. It doesn't fit their template. After all, if they acknowledge the threat, than they also have to offer a solution. And that solution more than not, involves their dreaded foreign intervention with US Troops.

We on the rightside of the libertarian movement acknowledge the threat we face, recognize it, and wish to fight back on all fronts. The bombing two days ago in Times Square just highlights how much we've been right all along, and all our opponents, liberals, pacifists, paleo-libertarians, paleo-conservatives, socialists, and most especially Obama Democrats have been dead wrong.

The correct capital gains tax rate is zero because there should be no double taxation of income that is saved and invested.

Thank the Fiscal Conservative climate set by the States' Elected Republicans

From Eric Dondero:

Number one again. The Lone Star State has just been rated as "America's best state in which to do business." And my homestate scored that distinction far above all others.

The Republican Party of Texas reports:

The Lone Star State stands alone as America’s best state in which to do business. That’s how more than 600 CEOs across America rate Texas. Chief Executive Magazine polled a total of 651 corporate CEOs, who, for the fifth year in a row, gave Texas top honors for the state’s openness to business, our reasonable regulatory environment, the level of taxation, quality of our workforce and living environment.

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Cathie Adams commented on the findings:

“Texas’ unrivaled success over the past several years is no accident. Texans are can-do people who maximize our freedoms to pursue the American dream. And conservative governance, led by Gov. Rick Perry and our Republican statewide officeholders and legislature, is our secret to empowering Texans. Under Republican leadership, Texas keeps government out of the way by keeping our government small, our regulatory system predictable, our reformed tort system fair, and our tax burden on families and businesses among the lowest in the nation. This all translates into one thing Texans need:

Jobs.”

"Big Government kills Jobs, Period!"

Added Republican Party spokesman Bryan Preston:

“When you look at the Chief Executive list, after you see Texas on top again, it’s hard not to notice who’s at the bottom. The states where the entrenched Democrat left has grown government the most are also the states that are the least friendly to business. And they all happen to have the highest unemployment rates, too. It’s clear that in those states, Democrat leaders care more about a whole bunch of other issues than about fostering free enterprise. Big government kills jobs, period.”

The top states to do business:

Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Utah and South Carolina.

The big losers in the survey:

California, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois.

As reported here at Libertarian Republican earlier, Edward Gonzalez is taking a unique road to Congress. He is the Libertarian Party nominee for Congress against ultra-liberal incumbent Democrat Rep. Zoe Lofgren. But he's also seeking the Republican nomination.

From Offshoreinn.com:

Edward Gonzalez is in a unique position in California District 16 which includes San Jose and Silicon Valley. There are no Republicans running in the primary, yet he is running as the Libertarian candidate. California allows one person to run on multiple tickets.

Here is an explanation from Gonzalez...

Hi Mish,

The primary is June 8th. I am currently on the ballot as a Libertarian, running against an incumbent democrat, Zoe Lofgren. There is no Republican on the ballot, so I have also submitted myself to be the write-in candidate for the Republican Party. I need 2,053 Republicans to write me in. I have over 50 volunteers helping, each walking their own neighborhood with my postcards. If I get the write-ins, I will appear on the general election ballot as a Libertarian/Republican.

Thank you for the support.

Sincerely,

Edward Gonzalez

Note - in New York, Warren Redlich has won the Libertarian nomiantion for Governor, and is also seeking the Republican nomination. Also, Dino LaVerghetta is seeking both the Libertarian and Republican lines for Congress, on the upper Eastside of Manhattan.

From Eric Dondero:

Commentary and repoting on the World's now most famous Pakistani Islamic Terrorist has been light for the most part in the libertarian media, and particularly scarse on the leftside of the libertarian movement.

Reason has one single Hit & Run post by Radley Balko where he offers short snarky commentary making fun of all sides, in a "Round-up" of other reporting from major media on Shahzad.

LewRockwell.com has a bizarre post "Did Alan Greenspan cause the Semibombing in Times Square?":

The alleged sortabomber of Times Square lost his family’s home in a foreclosure and suit by Chase Home Finance. Was Faisal Shahzad fooled into the Fed’s housing bubble, and then victimized by its depression? If so, was this the motive for the almost-bombing?

Knappster has no blog entries on the NYC Bombing. Though, Knappster has informed us that his other blog has covered the story:

At RRND, I've covered the story as news three days in a row (the three editions that have been published since the attempted bombing), twice "above the fold," and blurbed various commentaries on it.

The Libertarian Party at http://www.lp.org has no reporting on the Terrorist attack.

AntiWar.com has re-posts of articles from major media on the Terrorist Bombing, but no Blog posts from Eric Garris in their Blog section.

Kudos to Doug Mataconis at BelowTheBeltway.com. He is running an article, "Faisal Shahzad Charged With Five Counts Related To Attempted Times Square Bombing."

Cato@Liberty Blog has no posts directly on the Terrorist Attack. Though, Julian Sanchez curiously has a well-timed piece on surveillance cameras in Times Square, "The City that Never Blinks." Sanchez makes no mention in the piece of Shahzad or Islamic Terrorism.

The Liberty Papers has no stories at all on the Bombing. Rather, they saw fit to highlight the 40th Anniversary of the Kent State Massacre as their headliner.

Of course, the Right Libertarian media has taken an entirely different tact. Articles galore at Left Coast Rebel, Right Guy, Atlas Shrugs, The Other McCain, HotAir.com.

It tuns out the great NYPD has arrested a suspect in the attempted Times Square Bombing. It turns out the suspect is a Pakistani Muslim, not a Tea Party member as Michael Bloomberg, the ersatz mayor of New York City has asserted.

“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

From the AP via Fox News:

A Pakistan-born U.S. citizen accused of driving a bomb-laden SUV into Times Square and parking it on a street lined with restaurants and Broadway theaters was to appear in court Tuesday to face charges that he tried to set off a massive fireball and kill Americans, federal authorities said.

The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was taken into custody late Monday by FBI agents and New York Police Department detectives at Kennedy Airport while trying to board a flight to Dubai, according to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and other officials. He was identified by customs agents and stopped before boarding, Holder said early Tuesday in Washington.

It turns out Bloomberg was wrong again. Will he apologize? I doubt it. He's too busy with other things, like pushing for idiotic regulations in NYC such as restricting salt or some other nanny state non-sense. Man, don't you wish Rudy was back? May be someone should put up a billboard in NYC with that.

Editor's Note - Jim Lagnese is an ex-New Yorker.

by Clifford F. Thies, Senior Editor

E.J. Dionne’s op-ed “Tory Lessons for Republicans” would be a joke if the guy wasn’t a profound thinker about things political. He starts by asking how can the Republican Party be the party of the Big Tent when, in Florida, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Marco Rubio was so far ahead of Governor Charlie Christ in the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator, that Christ re-registered so as to run for the Senate as an independent?

In today's GOP, someone like Cameron would be condemned as a big-government sellout and buried under a mountain of tea bags. For even as the news in Britain focused on Cameron's comeback courtesy of his effort to detoxify the Conservative Party brand, the political news here was Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's decision to abandon the Republicans and run for the U.S. Senate as an independent.

Could it be that, in the Republican Party, the candidate who better connects with the party’s base will win the nomination, without regard to the fact that the candidate is a Roman Catholic, an Hispanic American, the son of immigrants to our country, whose parents who worked in jobs such as bartender and hotel maid?

Dionne then derides Republicans for passing a law in Arizona what he characterizes as anti-immigrant. Well, what does Rubio say about that legislation? He says, “I think aspects of the law, especially that dealing with ‘reasonable suspicion,’ are going to put our law enforcement officers in an incredibly difficult position. It could also unreasonably single out people who are here legally, including many American citizens.” So, on this legislation, Rubio shares the opinions of Dionne, yet Dionne wants to characterize the Republicans as monolethic on the issue. Rubio is an inconvenient Republican, just like the African Americans who join in the Tea Parties, and the women, starting with Sarah Palin, who are emerging as the real leaders of our party. Dionne has his idea of what a Republican is, and he’s not going to let Rubio get in the way.

Dionne also derides Republicans for not endorsing the welfare state. He says we Republicans should be more like the Conservatives of Great Britain. Dionne is apparently unaware of the reform of the welfare state proposed by center-right parties throughout the world. The issue is how to fashion social insurance. Will it be, as in Chile, actuarilty-sound, pro-work and pro-saving, and run by the private-sector? Or, will it be pay-as-you-go, undermine work and saving, and be run by a government bureaucracy? For Dionne to bring up the U.K. Conservative Party while criticizing the U.S. Republican Party on this matter means he is as ignorant of what the British Conservatives are proposing as he is of the American Republicans.

Dionne then concludes by saying Latinos now know why it is important to vote this fall. He doesn’t mean so Hispanics like Rubio can be elected to the U.S. Senate. No, he means, reflexively, Hispanics will vote Democratic. Hispanics, in Dionne’s mind, don’t think like White People where some are liberal and some are conservative, while others are neither. For elitist liberals like E.J. Dionne, making broad generalizations about people based on their gender, race or ethnicity is considered to be profound thinking.

From Eric Dondero:

Libertarians decades ago founded the nullification movement, both jury nullification and nullification of federal mandates by the states. Now the issue has entered the mainstream of American politics.

State Senator Tom Emmer won the official endorsement of Republican Party of Minnesota convention delegates for Governor. The convention met over the weekend. Liberal news blogs are already attacking him. Ironically, the very attacks from the left, may garner him greater support from somewhat skeptical Libertarians who are often critical of GOP candidates for not being hardline enough.

From TPM (via Memeo):

Emmer was first elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2004. Just this past March, he was a co-author of a proposed state constitutional amendment that would, to borrow the words of Nigel Tufnel, turn the Tenth Amendment all the way up to 11, with Minnesota preemptively nullifying all federal laws unless a state supermajority consents to them. Here is the key quote from the amendment's text: "A federal law does not apply in Minnesota unless that law is approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each house of the legislature and is signed by the governor. Before voting to approve a federal law, each legislator must individually affirm that the legislator has read the federal law and understands it."

Last September, Emmer proposed another state constitutional amendment that would prohibit any individual or employer mandate to carry health insurance in the state of Minnesota, if one were to eventually pass at the federal or state level (as it did eventually pass at the federal level).

Note - Emmer picked up the enthusiastic endorsement of libertarian-conservative Sarah Palin last week, and over the weekend he also gained the backing of moderate-conservative incumbent Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Paul a "grown-up, professional, sane libertarian"

From Eric Dondero:

Two big items of news on the Rand Paul front. Firstly new Rasmussen numbers are out, virtually unchanged from a month ago (via Hedgehog):

Rand Paul (R) 47%
Jack Conway (D) 38%

Rand Paul (R) 48%
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 32

Additionally, Rand Paul picked up the endorsement of staunch religious conservative Dr. James Dobson. He had originally endorsed Paul's GOP primary opponent Trey Grayson.

Josiah Schmidt, regular contributor to Rightosphere and friend of Libertarian Republican blog, editorialized:

In what is almost sure to be the last nail in the coffin of establishment candidate Trey Grayson's Kentucky Senate campaign, former Focus On The Family President James Dobson has retracted his recent endorsement of Grayson, and instead endorsed Dr. Rand Paul. Dobson explains that Grayson's allies deliberately mislead him on where Rand Paul stood on a variety of issues. After Dobson did his own research and interviewed Rand Paul personally, he confessed he had "made an embarrassing mistake" and threw his weight behind the Bowling Green eye doctor and son of Congressman Ron Paul.

Rand Paul's campaign has proven to be an almost flawless example of how libertarians can have a say in the direction of our country if they're willing to focus on areas where they can work together with conservatives, reach out to more traditional Republicans, and present themselves in a sane, professional, grown-up manner.

Liberal Media will have to come up with new spin

From Tim Daniels, Left Coast Rebel:

ABC News has the best rundown on the Times Square foiled car bomb. First off is the suspect(s). I assume that the far-left will be sad to see that the racist/bigot/right-wing mad-hatter meme is not coming into play:

Federal authorities are closing in on the man they say is a person of interest in the Times Square car bomb attempt this weekend, who is described as a naturalized American citizen who hails from Pakistan and just returned after spending five months there.

There is growing evidence the bomber did not act alone and had ties to radical elements overseas, with one senior official telling ABC News there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.

UPDATE!!!

PAKISTANI MUSLIM ARRESTED

Fox News is reporting that Faisal Shahzad, a Bridgeport, Connecticut man, was arrested in connection to the NYC bombing, while on board a flight headed to Dubai. He is a Pakistani Muslim who has dual US citizenship.

RightPundits are reporting:

He is a registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut who may be an Obama donor. He was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Obama administration’s lenient open door policy.

Self-described "libertarian," 2008 Sarah Palin for VP backer, and Reason contributor David Harsanyi, has a syndicated column today from his home-base Denver Post: "ShareThisImmigration is fine; it's the 'illegal' that rankles." Harsanyi presents a solidly tolerant view on immigration, but at the same time stressing law enforcement.

From RCP:

Very few Americans, on the other hand, are inherently opposed to immigration. For the most part, the controversy we face isn't about immigration at all. It's about the systemic failure of federal government to enforce the law or offer rational policy. There's a difference.

In closing, Harsanyi quotes libertarian economist and Libertarian Republican icon Dr. Milton Friedman:

When Nobel Prize-winning libertarian economist Milton Friedman was asked about unlimited immigration in 1999, he stated that "it is one thing to have free immigration to jobs. It is another thing to have free immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both."

Following a year of tea parties, candidate rallies and town hall meetings, the promise of change within Indiana’s entrenched parties did not materialize on Tuesday as a small majority of primary voters rebuffed the “change” message opting, instead, for more of the same brand of decision-makers that fueled the current uproar across the nation.

Naturalized citizen and Islamic Terrorist Bomber Faisal Shahzad opposed the War in Iraq. New reports suggest he held views much in line with leftwing AntiWar activists who fiercely opposed the Bush administration's policies in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There are even indications he may have been aligned with the so-called "Truther movement." A witness told the Associated Press, that Shahzad believed that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11. In truth, Hussein harbored top Al Qaeda Terrorist Abu Massad al Zarcawi and hosted two Al Qaeda-linked Terrorist training camps: Salman Pac and Answar Al-Islam.

Investigative journalist, and author of two Best Selling NY Times books Richard Miniter in his book "Shadow War: The Untold Story of How the Bush Administration is winning the War on Terror" (2005) documented 23 hard instances where Hussein and the Iraqi government were cooperating and actively assisting Al Qaeda prior to the 9/11 attacks.

From Tampa Bay On-line (via Memeo, Memeo):

Shahzad's behavior sometimes seemed odd to his neighbors, and he surprised a real estate broker he hardly knew with his outspokenness about President George W. Bush and the Iraq war.

"He mentioned that he didn't like Bush policies in Iraq," said Igor Djuric, who represented Shahzad in 2004 when he was buying a home.

Djuric said he couldn't remember the exact words Shahzad used about Bush but "something to the effect of he doesn't know what he's doing and it's the wrong thing that he's doing."

"I don't know if he mentioned 9/11," Djuric said, "but something like that, Iraq has nothing to do with anything."

The New York Times (via Memeo) adds this ironic note:

a real estate broker who helped him buy the house, in Shelton, Conn., in 2004 remembered that Mr. Shahzad did not like President George W. Bush or the Iraq war.

“I didn’t take it for much,” said the broker, Igor Djuric, “because around that time not many people did.”

Yes, indeed. Around that time many Americans did not like Bush either: Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Al Gore, NetRoots, the Greens, the entire Progressive wing of the Democrat Party, and a host of other AntiWar advocates.

Is it safe now to begin referring to Shahzad as a "Liberal Progressive"?

From Eric Dondero:

The Obama Administration's War on America: The Post-American Presidency to be released in two weeks.

Pamela Geller, famed author of Atlas Shrugs blog is a longtime friend of Libertarian Republican blog. We urge our readers to order a copy.

(And No! we don't make a dime off of this endorsement. Pamela just happens to represent the beliefs and values of Libertarian Republican to the greatest degree.)

Here's what another icon of Libertarian Republican blog had to say:

This book is a chilling analysis of how the policy of president Barack Obama is chipping away at the very foundation of America’s leading role in the world. It exposes his philosophy of near universal ‘moral equivalency’; a philosophy that is a dead ringer for the cultural relativism that has been poisoning Europe for the past decades. America is the last man standing and it is vital that the people in Europe adopt the attitude of proud American citizens and learn that it is not shameful to be proud of one’s heritage. This book is incredibly fascinating and at the same time holds a deeply disturbing message — a message we should all take to heart.
