Alaska Libertarian Party Blog

Below is a video of Beck expressing his views on the economy. Beck has described himself as a libertarian in the past.

The audio from the video below is being played on radio stations throughout the United States. Go Libertarians!

The U.S. Military will be assisting with crowd control and civil unrest in the United States in the near future. This is a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Smoking Gun is reporting that a man in Florida is formally charged with wearing saggy pants. Read more about it by clicking here. The police in Riviera Beach arrested the 29 year old man and intend to fine the man as much as $150.00

St. Paul police officers harassed and intimidated individuals planning to protest the Republican National Convention which will be held September 1st through September 4th in Minnesota. Read about this abuse of power by visiting the Star Tribune.

I thought the first amendment in the Bill of Rights prohibited the government from harrassing political freedom of speech.

“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to asemble.”

-1st Amendment, US Constitution.

“…man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”

A few months back, an Aimee Allen video which promoted liberty and Ron Paul’s campaign for President began circulating online (see below). Ron Paul is no longer a candidate for President, but Allen’s video is a call for political activism to preserve our few remaining liberties.

By now, most, if not all have heard the news about presidential contender McCain choosing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. This blog would like to remind libertarians that Governor Palin has in the past taken her time to address and hear the concerns of the Alaska Libertarian Party.

Palin once described herself as in agreement with many libertarian values when she was running for Governor in 2006. Eric Dondero, a libertarian republican activist for many years, writes a good article describing Palin’s libertarian tendencies.

Is Palin a full-blown libertarian? No. Is she the best person for the job? I’m pretty partial to Wayne Allyn Root, the Vice Presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party. Bob Barr’s choice for veep, Root has an extensive resume, and is a businessman, television producer and author.

Overall, the selection of Sarah Palin by McCain is a good thing. McCain could have picked rabid gun control advocates Rudy Guliani, Michael Bloomberg or Joe Lieberman, all of whom were mentioned as under consideration by McCain as a running mate.
