In a recent article by the left-leaning site Daily Kos, a complaint was lodged against the Minnesota Republicans for introducing legislation that would repeal the 1984 Local Government Pay Equity Act (LGPEA). This act “…directs local governments to ensure that women are paid the same as men.” But with local governments stating that the reporting [...] The gentlemen on this show discuss the belief that the “rich” in this country should be (essentially forced) to “voluntarily” help pay to end the economic recession. If they don’t want to, we should create a list naming everyone who is “rich” in America, and to note whether or not they have paid any money [...] Tim Sandefur, Pacific Legal Foundation attorney and author of the book “The Right to Earn a Living,” visited the Independence Institute for a recent event co-sponsored with Liberty on the Rocks.

Governor. (See “Maes tries to ease supporters’ anxiety over running mate“). Williams has been criticized, among other things, for her support of Refs C & D when she was a member of Bill Owens’ cabinet. Maes sent an email to supporters addressing those concerns.
According to the Post, Maes’
“… e-mail says Williams, as a Cabinet member under then-Gov. Bill Owens, privately opposed the referendums but had to support them publicly because her boss did.” This type of attitude is the problem. Tambor Williams is just one example of thousands. It is not fair to single her out. She is just another career politician, assimilated into party politics, where party unity is subservient to truth and principle.
If one does not believe in something, but publicly espouses it for private gain, that person is a hypocrite. Or perhaps a liar. Such conduct should not be excused in the name of political expediency.
If a person is asked to support a position contrary to one’s beliefs, a person of principle says, “no, I will not compromise my principles for your political gain.” A resignation should then be offered.
We, as an electorate, accept this unprincipled conduct. We get what we deserve: unprincipled politicians.
Asking Libertarians to join the GOP and help “fix the party from the inside” is like inviting someone to your house for a party but telling them they have to clean the bathrooms first.
Most people react to the term “antitrust” with favor, and support the antitrust efforts of our government. But is it possible that instead of protecting consumers, the government is actually hurting individuals with their antitrust cases? Considering the government’s track record, I think it’s fair to say that it’s at least worth looking into. |
