The 2010 Republican Primaries. Where to Start?

Sadly, she is not the brains of this operation.
Might as well start with Arizona. Those people are stupid for renominating McCain. If you want a Democrat, just get one with a D behind their name.

Now, for the crazy. Charles Krauthammer, in what I hope is a temporary fit of Washington Post nativeism, goes after the Delaware Republican Senate nominee, O'Donnell during an evening visit to FOX news:
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: I'd vote Republican but, you see, I think what Laura is missing the point that what's at stake here is control of the Senate. This is not an ordinary year. This is not an ordinary Democratic administration. This is a Democratic administration with a very ambitious social Democratic agenda. They want to change America. They've had 18 months. They have passed, for example, Obamacare, which will change America structurally and in a way that will not be reversible. Now they have ambitions to do the same with energy, with education, with taxation. They're going to appoint Supreme Court justices.

The paramount objective of any Republican and conservative today is to gain control of one or other of the Houses and stop it, and that's why what's important is winning seats. I think it's a huge mistake to jeopardize a seat in Delaware which was absolutely in the pocket without almost any contention and to jeopardize it with a much weaker candidate, who may or may not win, and I think is overwhelmingly likely to lose.
No, Chuckie, the objective is to get back a conservative government. Nominating and electing a pantywaist whiner does not gain that, especially when there is no real difference between him and the Democrat bearded Marxist running to represent Delaware in the US Senate. (The funny thing about that Politico article is that they picked the same Republican nominee that Krauthammer preferred, as if he already was the nominee in May.)  If you want to join in with the country club establishment Republicans you are doing it at the wrong time. Either take a pill and get sane or listen to Michael Steel and shut up.

Hey, stupid, she's hot.
In one day O'Donnell raised one million dollars for her campaign and closed the polling gap with her Marxist opponent to around 10%.

Mouthpieces of the other parties, keep talking the way you are, all you can do at this point is help. Where 'libertarian leaning' Reason's Moynihan got the idea that O'Donnell was a long shot, who knows. She earned 53% of the Republican vote. Oh yea, she was a "long shot" at Washington, DC cocktail parties. He also thinks she is insane, for reasons like expressing personal choice in masturbation habits, refraining from them herself when she was in her 20s. His article is an interesting blend of Democrat and National Republican Senatorial Committee talking points. She filed a lawsuit against a former employer for violating policy by not allowing her time off for a Masters program, which Reason equates with falsely claiming to have a Master's degree.  Perhaps Reason sees her as a threat to their patron Saint, and ally of Dennis Kucinich (Marxist from Mars), Ron Paul (R-TX) who, with them, thinks the only possible reason to oppose the Ground Zero Mosque is racism. At the same time, they cheer on Sen. Harry Reid's cuckold border policy of opening only the US side of the US/Mexico border.

On second thought, Reason is the best source for the hysterical opposition view to O'Donnell, as their latest boss, Matt Welch, has declared Esquire Magazine as an official judge of "side show freak" certification.  If you want the liberaltarian view from the DC Beltway, that is the place to go.

Were there any other races happening this week? Apparently yes (via my blog buddy).

Islam: The Religion of Peace and Cosmotarians

This is the first image Google gives
me for "Cosmotarian Slut"?
John took his shot, now I am taking mine.

The coverage on the Ground Zero Mosque by Reason is laughable. Does their Cosmodroid fixation on the personal biases of some really have any place in a libertarian discussion about anything? I say no and I am pretty new to this too. I thought personal preferences were a big libertarian issue, that is preserving the rights of individuals to think as they may as long as it does not harm others.  In the case of the proposed Cordoba Mosque (re-branded as Studio51 or something), Reason has article after article about how any objection to the facility (recreation center, Mosque, foot washing fort, whatever) is only based on bigotry.  Hey, Cosmotarians, bigots are people too, and that is not even the issue.

People certainly have a right to be offended, in the same way that Tim Cavenaugh has the right to be offended by people who do not share his love for Judy Garland and her body of work. Why waste time complaining about that when there is a real issue of government steam rolling abuse going on? Is that not a true libertarian issue, or am I missing the whole point of being a libertarian?

I read Reason for a reason, to be informed of libertarian issues. For some reason, Reason has been ignoring the private property issue in Manhattan (yes, there are many, this is about the WTC site, that was attacked by the adopted soldiers of Cosmoitarians and I think the reason mentions in this paragraph only count as two drinks). Today is one of the first days in over a year that I did not bother looking at the site (until after work) since my “good morning” message, and I see I didn't miss a damn thing, unless you call Radley Balko managing to mention the Ground Zero Mosque (actually I missed that yesterday and caught it today) without bashing Sarah Palin an improvement.  That is another staple of Reason, if the Cordoba Mosque is to be mentioned, Sarah Palin must be bashed.  If there are Cosmotarian Sacred Scrolls, this must be one of the top edicts and Radley must be drinking virgin martinis for this infraction.

Enough of that, the issue at hand is the overly powerful mayor of New York and the even more powerful New York Port Authority misusing their power to streamline one house of worship into a space while they prevent another, that had been in the neighborhood for ages, from even rebuilding. THAT IS THE FUCKING ISSUE, REASON COSMOTARIANS!

Some troll ass (“The Angry Optimist”, who seems to only appear when he wants to call me a boy and changes his name to one of several and call John me) repeats the same comment about this issue, never providing anything of substance to any conversation: “No conservative cared about the Church being slighted until a few days ago.” So damn what? Many of us didn't know about the Greek Orthodox Church getting screwed by the Port Authority until a few days ago and that still does not change the fact that the Port Authority and the Mayor are giving the Mosque special treatment just because it is a Mosque. Reason is doing the same thing. It would still be special treatment if the Saint Nicholas Church never existed. Why didn't we read it first on the pages of Reason about this Church getting shafted? Simple, Cosmotarians hate Christians and they love Islam. No? Then you come up with a better answer.

Reason saying anything nice about Church or Synagogue property is as rare as them using “illegal” in a discussion about immigration. In yet another rarity, even that happened today in a Gillespie post. One person in the comments seemed to notice it too.  The fact remains, when property is owned by a non-Muslim congregation, Cosmotarians become Marxists on the private property issue.

So, Libertarian Magazine of Record, give me a reason to keep reading you instead of Slate, The Nation, The New Republic, or the World Socialist Web Site. They have the same attitude you do when real property is owned by a group of people who worship anything besides Ayn Rand.  I was being overly nice there.  I think my business is going to The National Review soon anyway.
