Listen to Me
Monday, April 26th, 2010Over the weekend, I spoke at the Georgia Libertarian Party’s annual conveniton. My speech was on police militarization, focusing specifically on the Kathryn Johnston and Jonathan Ayers cases.
While I was there, I recorded a podcast with Jason Pye and Brett Bittner for the United Liberty website.

I’d love to hear a weekly or monthly Agitator podcast which breaks down a few stories/subjects like this every episode. Just use a few of the stories that get the most mileage in the comments. Perhaps get 1 or 2 like-minded (read: libertarian) and/or Left/Right politi-bloggers involved and you’d really have a great jumping off point.
Damn. All the Arkansas LP gets is Wayne Allyn Root.
I gather he’s running for Chairman of the LNC now., and I cringe realizing he might actually be an improvement.

What JP said. I would even pay a little to listen to them! ;-)
All I can say is, Thank God the Georgia LP has decided invite true libertarians like Radley rather than pseudolibertarians like Neal Boortz. Libertarians have so much to say about individual liberty, limited government, and the non-aggression principle. The LP shouldn’t allow that message to be clouded by warmongers and partisan hacks like Boortz.
Unfortunately, even with all its money and publicity, the LP has failed to effect much real change. I mean, Radley managed to get an innocent man off death row. What has the LP done in the name of freedom that’s even remotely close to that in terms of accomplishment?
Hey Nicrivera, don’t be so hard on Boortz. He’s been fairly firmly in the Libertarian camp for about 25 years now. He routinely trolls the audience on his show to entertain and get a rise, and he may not agree with your every libertopian desire, but to call him a partisan hack is a bit over the top. He’s routinely anti-republican, although to a much lesser degree than anti-democrat, but he enjoys the same comfortable perch all of us carrying the L moniker do: a pox on all your houses. Of course when the general election rolls around we all still have to make that D or R decision in most races. I personally pull the L lever every chance I get, unless the “lesser of two evils” choice is close enough that I feel the need to chime in for one of the evils, lest the other win. Just because a guy is on the radio doesn’t mean he’s a right-wing LINO.
