A rare moment when I agree with a Maureen Dowd column: The Clinton Contamination. The Clintons have always been self-serving, above the law— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 10, 2016
The politically correct police are hilarious. Maureen Dowd in her Clinton column once refers to Obama as "Barry": #PresidentObamaNotBarry— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 10, 2016
As a college professor, I was used to disrespectful students calling me 'Ron' vs. Dr./Prof. Guillemette. Don't sweat the small stuff.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 10, 2016
The funny thing is that in my own family, I'm Ronald, not Ron. My brother-in-law is Ron. A late paternal aunt used to call me Ronnie.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 10, 2016

A Troubling New Type of Warfare With Little Accountability
The House Committee, FBI Director Comey, and the Clinton Email Scandal
Facebook Corner
(Reason). The pool of voters who describe themselves as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal"—the explicit sales pitch of Gary Johnson—is up to half of American adults. Those voters currently have no political home. It's no wonder that the Libertarian nominee has hit double digits in several national polls. With the worst big-party nominees in decades, many traditional Democratic and Republican voters will be faced with a long-overdue challenge to their tribal loyalty. The Johnson-Weld 2016 ticket deserves to be taken seriously as an alternative
The slogan "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" is vacuous, pretentious, self-contradictory nonsense. Social liberalism embraces the notion of so-called positive rights, a potentially unbounded claim on the assets of others, that the government must provide for the needs of other people. This necessarily extends the reach of the State, which contradicts the goal of fiscal conservativsm, which is a low-cost, sustainable state.
One can be socially conservative as a libertarian, as I am. For example, probably at least a third of libertarians find elective abortion as a violation of the Non-Aggression Principle. We also don't believe in the State defining or regulating marriage, imposing other standards on local communities.
Either the government is out of marriage completely or everyone gets to do it. Adding a another check, is the couple comprised of two sexes, on the approval process is not libertarian.
Marriage is a social construct and government has no business intervening in the social context. Any two people have the right to engage in voluntary contracts.
But to the contrary, nobody is denying the right of gays to migrate to supportive communities. Gays do NOT have the right to impose their agenda on community standards, period. If I choose to live in a traditional state, that's my right--you don't have the right to impose your value preferences on my voluntary association. And THAT is REAL libertarianism, not your take.
