I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself.

The Future of Freedom Foundation's Jonathan Turley suggests America is not much of a free country anymore. Whether you agree with him, or not, I thought it was nicely written. I happen to agree and believe things will get much worse.

Freedom has never been free. It has always been very costly. Either paid for in blood or money. Freedom belongs to those who can afford it, or those who fight for it.
When Franklin, exited the hall after the signing of our nations founding documents, he was approached by a young woman and asked, "Sir, what have you given us?" Franklin replied, "A Constitutional Republic. Freedom in the pursuit of happiness, with individual inalienable rights." The woman asked, "So, it will protest us?" Franklin replied, "No Ma'am. It can not protect you, for it hath not legs to stand upon. It is you, who must protect it."
Whoever sent in the more recent comment (not showing), try sending it again. It showed up in my inbox but I don't see it here. That's been happening more and more often.

Worse before better, absolutely.
Freedom is not free, but it sure has been a costly idea where freedom is lesser than it used to be, kinda a one direction scenario. Dupe people into beliefs of freedom but dwindle that freedom generation after generation because dead people can't fight for freedom any longer, only the dumbed-down decendents of the former freedom fighters.
America is a joke today, and so many of those backstabbers who try to deceive for continued sociopolitical power seem to lie in order to achieve more benefit in times when we have less and less.
Ever wonder why most politically local candidates shmooze voters so much?
Answer: Voters are easy to shmooze, just look at thye continued election results and then the term results of that particular elected official.
HOJ wants to know that the county CAO tracks voting records, but is unsure at this point. Pin the elected officials with their voting records (straw votes included)

I find it interesting the correlation of the rise of tyranny with the dying off of the World War 2 vets I wonder how much s*** the younger generation will swallow before we start vomiting it back up on the government between the all out assault on our rights and the mass stockpiling of small arms armored vehicles and body armor one can only conclude that the government is getting ready for something

Thw WW@ Vets simply lost track of their family values because they were thrusted into war.
War breaks-apart families for an extended period of time. Children without their biological parents (children know what's-up) are not being raised properly enough to be able to be "free thinking adults later in life.
This is partly the scheme by all levels of government - make your neighbors think that the government employee next door is looking out for you or would never hurt you because of the neighbor status.
Ya see, when this country is "in-fighting again", death will come to those tyrants that worked for government using the veil of power and control to make their lifestyle better at the victimizing of the good neighbors in the neighborhood.
HOJ does not like neighbors who are government shills, but does appreciate and like those good neighbors who are not abusing their government employment positions. Separation by fact is key, so hopefully the good public employees will appreciate HOJ slamming the terrible public employees. If not, then it speaks to the peer relationship of those on the job as "cover-up artists", which then makes the good public employee untrustable and unworthy to be employed.

The WW2 Vets .......
"shift key" error.

I would submit to you that the World War 2 vets were the last generation with moral values and now that they've all but died of the government is clamping down
