General / Christopher Cantwell's Open Letter to the Free State Project Board
« on: April 18, 2014, 06:57:43 PM »
I think everyone should read this. Let me know what you think. I'm withholding my opinion on here (and I've already expressed it on my sleeves on Facebook more than enough) until I see some traffic beginning and responding to this post.

General / Mama Alley on FTL Talking About Old Drama At Last Year's Porcfest
« on: January 20, 2011, 08:34:37 AM »
In last night's episode of FTL, Ian and Mark interviewed Savannah LastBiscuit's Mama Alley who was talking about an incident that happened at last year's Porcfest (which I didn't attend and only heard about it on Facebook a while back). Apparently Gee got into an altercation with a customer over his and Mama Alley's dogs, which was never resolved at the event.
For the record, I know the details of the event, as the "lady" mentioned on FTL was Avant Fixx....Xaq Fixx's wife.
Here's Xag Fixx's blog on the incident describing his side of the story: (URL) http://blog.xaqfixx.com/?p=154

General / FSP Controversy: Mark's Anger on the FTL Podcast Extended Edition
« on: December 13, 2009, 12:36:29 AM »
So what do you all think about it?
Should it be an area of concern for people who are interested in the FSP? Is this a serious matter? Is this matter overrated or underrated?

General / Gene The Christian Anarchist's Rant on The Work Ethics of African-Americans
« on: October 06, 2009, 02:08:25 PM »
It annoys and even disturbs me deeply that Gene The Christian Anarchist, a fellow freedom fighter of ours who has every right to voice his views (whether they are laced with racism or not), appears on Friday's FTL and makes a blanket, generalized statement about blacks (particularly in the South and who work in his business), saying that they are slower in terms of work performance than white people and that they have no work ethics whatsoever.
While it may be true that some individual blacks lack work ethics, the idea that we must cast aspersions on an entire racial group because of the bad actions of a few bad apples is just unfair, wrong, and absurd. We can apply that thinking to any group of minorities out there, even and especially if it's meant to be or not meant to be very racist to the core.
Ian and Mark said that Gene called his black employees "shiftless" on the show. While Gene may not have used that term on the air, he did imply it (despite the fact that he lied on the air saying that he didn't imply that). Sorry, Gene, but you're being intellectually dishonest when you say that you didn't use the term "shiftless" on the air (which is true; you didn't say that word), but actually meant it in that capacity when you stated that your employees of color "lacked work ethics." How else is someone supposed to interpret that?
The truth of the matter is that employees regardless of race, color, religion, age, and creed who lack work ethics do so because of many factors that come into play, primarily because of their upbringing (i.e. how their parents have raised them), the inculcation of this vile statist idea that people who work in the retail, clerical, and other areas of the private sector that individual employees as groups must do need to do the bare minimum (and this garbage is taught in the government schools), and the lack of responsibility in their lives, thanks to parents who refuse to treat their young teens like young adults and learn the need for work ethics and responsibility in the workplace. Accusing a racial minority group of lacking work ethics in the job market is, as far as I'm concerned, akin to assigning blame to a rape victim who holds up a neon sign saying that she wanted to be raped. Race has nothing to do with this problem; it's the lack of personal values, ethics, and responsibility that parents fail to instill in their children because they cart them off to the state's government schools that don't teach them those values to begin with. Saying that blacks in a business "lack worth ethics" (which might be true on the individual level) in comparison to whites (who also lack such ethics in the workplace as well) is no different from saying that a victim of government policies asked to be victimized in comparison to another victim of said policies who asked to be victimized the same way. This is pathetically insulting rhetoric, not to mention racist and very anti-Liberty to the core.
Unless Gene has data to back up his points, they are, as far as I am or anyone is concerned, quite anecdotal.
Gene tried to rake Ian and Mark over the coals last night by correcting them, saying that he didn't use that term, but I heard the podcast from Friday's show too. It's true that he didn't use that term, but he surely meant it in that fashion.
On Friday's show, Gene gets irate that Mark, Sam, and Ian are talking over him, claiming that they are not allowing him to speak (which is not true; they devoted an entire segment to his racist rant). He brings up this pathetic point that "blacks in general" do drive cars with "big wheels," but then later in the conversation says that he doesn't "want to talk about big wheels." Gene, if you didn't want to talk about it, then why did you bring it up? What was the point of that entire conversation when it turned me off as well as a lot of listeners off?
On last night's show, Gene angrily tells Mark and Ian that he heard Friday's show and that they made it sound like Gene called his black employees "shiftless" when that was never true to begin with. That was an unfair broad-sweeping statement that Gene made to Ian and Mark, and I think he owes Mark and Ian a serious apology over it.
Sorry, Gene, but I'm on Mark and Ian's side on this matter, not yours.

Todd Andrew Barnett

General / Cassidy Nicosia Interviewed for 40 Minutes on Liberty Cap Talk Live
« on: September 05, 2009, 02:36:02 AM »The show aired, and Cassidy did an awesome job, although she sounded kinda shy on the phone. That's ok, though. I was salivating over her while I was doing the show.
Episode 5: A 40-Minute Interivew with Cassidy Nicosia, Cash for Clunkers, etc.
LibertyCapTalkLive
Date / Time: 9/4/2009 11:00 PM
Category: Politics
In the fifth episode, Todd and Jim and their panelists libertarian writer and commentator Brett Bittner, Peace, Freedom, and Prosperity Movement Radio and TV show host and PFP Movement founder James Cox, and PFP Movement Radio and TV co-host Mike Shanklin discussed "Cash for Clunker" participating dealerships not getting paid the rebate money that the Obama administration promised them, the "C4C" dealerships paying taxes on income for the $4500 rebates, more news on ObamaCare, and the 1776 Project.
Jim, Todd, and the panelists interviewed Cassidy Nicosia, the topless Free Stater who held her one-woman topless protest, for 40 minutes from 11:10 p.m. to 11:50 p.m. EST on what got her interested in Liberty, the reasons for the protest, her subsequent arrest, and the dropping of the impending charges against her.
[*Note: Cassidy was on the line much earlier and on top, so top kudos for her; she's welcomed back anytime. The show went very well, despite a little bit of annoying feedback on the caller line, but it wasn't that bad. Also, Mike Shanklin had to leave at around 12:27 a.m. EST, so the show continued on and did fine without him for the rest of the broadcast.]

General / J.H. Huebert of LewRockwell.com Attacks FSP, Topless Women Protest
« on: July 29, 2009, 05:03:41 PM »J.H. Huebert, a blogger and writer for LewRockwell.com, has come out on the Libertarian Forum group (of which I'm a member) and has criticized the Free State Project, Sam Dodson, and the planned topless women protest. I even forwarded it to Angela Keaton of Antiwar.com, who is also a member of the Ladies Liberty Alliance which endorses the protest and Ian's girlfriend Julia who also supports it as well.
Ian and Mark already have the email. Here's Huebert's ludicrous and pathetic anti-Liberty rant.
(Personally, Huebert is a fucking sexist and dipshit for writing this bullshit, but you guys decide for yourself....)
I hate libertarians.
by J.H. Huebert
Okay, not all libertarians. Just the ones in the Free State
Project.
Okay, not all libertarians in the Free State Project. Just the ones
in Keene, New Hampshire.
Okay, probably not all of them. Probably not most of them. Just the
ones I've noticed.
For something I'm writing, I've been researching the FSP, and I think
it's a brilliant idea with a lot of potential to work. The
mastermind, Jason Sorens, appears to me to be a libertarian hero
worthy of much praise. The whole thing is extremely well thought out,
and the reasons for choosing New Hampshire as their state are
excellent. When I read his stuff, it makes me want to pick up and
move to New Hampshire.
The only flaw with the project is that it requires the members of the
libertarian movement to act like sensible, reasonable human beings,
which apparently is asking too much.
Overall, it seems like the FSP people, especially its leaders, are a-
okay principled libertarians. For all I know, they're *all*
principled libertarians, or at least good enough for me
ideologically.
But in their approach, some of the people in Keene appear to be
extremely foolish.
The first and worst things are the "Sam Dodson" type stunts, where you
go do something pointless that you know is likely to get you
arrested. Or you just make an ass of yourself for no obvious reason,
like pretending you don't understand a judge when he's speaking plain
English to you. Typically the point of civil disobedience is to call
the public's attention to an injustice. But if an anarchist
libertarian like me can't understand the point of your protest, what
is it going to teach anybody else? It's going to teach them that
libertarians are lunatics, or at least extremely frivolous people who
don't have any serious ideas that would actually improve their
lives.
Then there's their "parking meter Robin Hood" stunt, where they go put
money in people's parking meters and leave a note explaining that
parking meters are unjust because people are forced to pay for parking
spots through taxes, then forced to pay again when they actually want
to use them. People may appreciate being spared the ticket, but
parking meters are one of the worst things you could use to try to
illustrate government injustice. It's a fact that the government owns
streets and parking spaces, and that's about the last thing that the
NH libertarians will ever change, no matter how successful they are
otherwise. So given that we're stuck with government streets for the
foreseeable future, we can have free parking and therefore parking
shortages, or we can try to at least approximate a market. Of course
-- as they're showing their neighbors -- libertarians prefer chaos.
And you know what these people would do if the town took the parking
meters away -- they'd try to "homestead" a space permanently by
plunking some junk car or other big object in a space. Then when they
government tow truck came, they'd lie down in front of it, yelling
about how they're being oppressed, hoping to god they get tased and
arrested so all their friends can see it on YouTube.
Now the latest is that some young women in Keene want to get topless
in public to fight for the right to do that. Of course, I'm of two
minds about this. But it's an idiotic cause because it's a fight over
what you can do on public property, and there's no obvious reason why
your desire to be topless should trump some other person's desire not
to run into topless women when going about their business. Plus it
needlessly offends a large segment of the community who might actually
appreciate you if you chose as your battle one of the hundreds of
issues that *actually matters*.
Ugh!

General / Ian and Mark Need to Fuck to Get It Over With
« on: July 24, 2009, 07:17:34 AM »After listening to last night's extended edition of FTL, I think Ian and Mark need to engage in gay sex to release their sexual tension they've got going for each other. LOL! I swear, after those two and Dale were clobbering each other over the civil disobedience/political action matter, those two have more hard-ons for each other than Batman and Robin in their campy-ass superhero outfits.
Seriously, when you hear Ian and Mark calling each other "bitch" (even if it's not for sexy conversation and kinky adoration, you know that they've got repressed sexual attraction to each other. LOL!! Seriously, dudes!!! LOL!! (Well, not seriously, but hey, it's too funny not to mention it!!!)
And this is just humor coming from an openly-bisexual free marketeer/voluntaryist. ROTFFLMFAO!!!!!

General / David Amos' Supposed Phone Number
« on: June 20, 2009, 11:25:45 PM »When David Amos called me tonight, my caller ID picked up this number from some town or place called Petitcodic, NB. The number, for those who are interested, is 1-506-756-8687.
This is what Address.com revealed to me:
Bock, Werner
street address not available
Petitcodiac, NB
(506) 756-8687
This guy's number is registered with someone by the name of Werner Bock. If this is true and Address.com never lies or is always on the money, I think the guy is bullshitting.
I thought everyone should know....

General / David Amos Calls into FTL and Me Tonight
« on: June 20, 2009, 10:41:35 PM »Some dude by the name of David Amos who claimed to be originally from Massachusetts and currently in Canada called into FTL tonight and me. I had just gotten out of the shower, and I was about to go on the air to do my co-hosting duties on a TV show on Livestream when this asshat called.
I asked him how he got the number, and he said he got it on the Internet. He claimed he got it from the Boston Tea Party website (where I'm currently secretary), and he read my blog, which I believe he's referring to Let Liberty Ring (http://letlibertyring.blogspot.com). He mentioned he read the blog posts on Ian's arrest.
Anyway, I'm gonna post 5 emails that he sent me and Ian. You're gonna fucking laugh your ass off.

General / Scott the Bigot Turning Free Talk Live Into "Free Bigot Live"?
« on: January 23, 2009, 12:56:53 AM »What is the deal with this anti-black, anti-gay, pro-Christian, anti-Jew, and pro-Ku Klux Klan/white supremacist Scott a.k.a. Scott the Bigot calling into FTL so much lately? Is he trying to turn the show from Free Talk Live into "Free Bigot Live"?
This dude seriously needs a muzzle. Just about every night, it's "this Jew did this," and "this Jew did that." A couple of nights ago, he was on the air, reverting back into his anti-Semitic nonsense about how all the original Federal Reserve bankers were Jewish, which I doubt is true. But, even if it were true, so what? The Fed is EVIL, yes. But to lump all Jews into that "those damned, evil Jews" is crazy all the way around.
Can someone please explain that to me?
Thanks!
