The Convoluted Muse

I was at the Libertarian Party’s website tonight looking over a few articles for information. In reading through some of their material I came across this article. The article quotes Mike Huckabee, former Republican Presidential candidate, calling libertarianism, among other things, a “threat.” Of course Huck, the schmuck, wasn’t through denigrating people with different political views than his own. He further averred,  “libertarianism is a soulless type of economic conservatism.”

For those who’ve been following this story a small, yet important, victory has recently been won against the totalitarian legislation known commonly as the RealID Act. In the month of May, a bill passed through Alaska’s state legislature preventing funding for this legislation. In effect, the Real ID Act would create, or more precisely, solidify efforts at shifting us from a representative government to a police state.

For some time now the R.I.A.A. (Recording Industry Association of America) has whined incessantly of how “pirated” music hurts sales thus making life for “artists” extremely difficult if not unbearable. Of course if all the RIAA did was to whine like spoiled brats we could, at some point, grow used to it and move on. Unfortunately for U.S. customers, they’ve become as rabid fanatics seeking out heretics to be burned at the stake. Stories abound of their unjust tactics and indiscriminate targeting of private citizens; all with government approval.

Over the last few days I’ve been following an interesting situation. George Soros, founder and sponsor of moveon.org, has his people working diligently to further his latest cause. In their fervor to affect change, these zealots have employed strategies that are dishonest, at best and, more- likely, flagrantly fraudulent.

I must begin this post with an apology for not keeping the content up to date. Things have been rather hectic of late and my muse has been somewhat silent as well. The result of these issues has been a sort of apathetic inaction. I assumed my situation would change within a day or two and the delay would be a short one. Unfortunately, that proved a forlorn hope. So, please forgive my absence the last week or so. Moving right along, I have had the distinct privilege of experiencing  unwarranted, moronic, and tortuously laughable bureaucratic nonsense lately.
