I believe that this should be the theme song for the year. It is amazing how irrelevant the campaign and the issues are in a long history of irrelevant issues and presidencies. Your comments are sad, but true, Bob Barr offers some alternatives, but as Lew Rockwell noted, the Libertarian Party is about to join other third parties on the ash heap of history. The real interesting thing about this election is that it has rendered itself trivial in the minds of people. There is a real sense of discontent and long time grievances that the State can’t just wish away.
McCain (Il Duce) or Obama (Uncle Ho) will be a one term president; yet that president will be the one who socializes totally the American economy. I believe the best course of action is to push the government to the extreme and let it collapse. I am tired of defending the Constitution or monarchy, or democracy, or dictatorship. Let the whole thing fall apart and see what emerges. In the coming years, there will be a ground surge of real libertarian projects coming down the pike. I see a good chance of this because the libertarians for once have passion and some novelty, which the Republicrats entirely lack.
I wish there were more to say, but this election has been as interesting as a bite from a kitty litter sandwich. I wish that we could send Obama/Biden & McCain/Palin to go colonize Mars and hunt for Bigfoot in the Alaska wilds respectively, not letting them return until completed. If we want to do something positive, we should again and again repeat the message against the government and for the market until we make some headway. The libertarian message has stagnated because of the absolutely abstract way in which most people present it.

Hope the aren’t a new Pentagon secret weapon.

Almost?

Our representatives have now placed
unelected bureaucrats above any court
in the land.

Should I laugh, or cry?

Cynicism is the new Pragmatism
