If only you were a Democrat or a GOPer this would all be easier. . . .

I have never seriously considered voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party, but you have to love the song-and-dance any legitimate third-party candidate has to perform to get on the ballot in some states.

This from Third Party Watch:

The Kansas Reform Party is ballot-qualified. At its recent state convention, the sentiment was strong for nominating Chuck Baldwin for president. Some kinks remain to be worked out, however. The Kansas Secretary of State seems to feel that a state ballot-qualified party cannot nominate the presidential candidate of another nationally-organized political party (even though that nationally-organized party is not on the ballot in Kansas). Clarification is being sought. Chuck Baldwin, of course, is the Constitution Party’s presidential candidate; he was nominated at the national convention in April 2008.


You see, the problem is one of numerology. Two (as in two parties) is both an even number and a prime number. In fact it is the only even number that is prime. This, of course, makes it far superior to three (which is only prime and not even) or four (which is only even and not prime).

See, if you take the 12 letters in Chuck Baldwin's name and divided by 6 (the number of days in the week if you leave out Sunday, which is only in the week due to a Christian conspiracy), the result is 2, which is the proper number of candidates, and the reason why neither Dorothy nor Toto would want to have him on the ballot in Kansas. . . .

You haven't? What's the matter with you? Are you a socialist? communist? atheist? dimmercrack? ripofflicon? Sheesh at the anti-Americanism of some people!

Sincerely,
Ronald Goldwater, a Constitutionalist
No, just happen to be a Libertarian who believes in freedom of religion (which can also mean freedom from religion); the right of all adult Americans to marry whomever they want; and the right of women to reproductive control of their bodies.

Sort of rules Chuck out for me.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
