Shire Liberty News

[Friday]

Hey y'all, it was good to see several of you at PorcFest last week! 

I thought I'd stop by and pimp my new website, for the benefit of those of you who shun FaceCrack and/or aren't linked to me there and may not have heard about it yet.  It's called Shire Liberty News and reports on liberty activism throughout the state of New Hampshire. There's also a weekly newsletter featuring essays on liberty topics by myself and several other New Hampshire activists, most/all of whom you probably know. Please check it out, and if you like it, share with friends.  I welcome feedback and suggestions.

This months email had a quote from 1944 that was prescient  warning of what we were to become as a nation...

"Fascism will come at the hands of perfectly authentic Americans who have been working to commit this country to the rule of the bureaucratic state... taking part in the management of industry and finance and agriculture; assuming the role of great national banker and investor, borrowing billions every year and spending them on all sorts of projects through which such a government can paralyze opposition and command public support; marshaling great armies and navies at crushing costs to support the industry of war and preparation for war which will become our nation's greatest industry; and adding to all this the most romantic adventures in global planning, regeneration, and domination, all to be done under the authority of a powerfully centralized government in which the executive will hold in effect all the powers, with Congress reduced to the role of a debating society." - John T. Flynn, 1944

Flynn, 1944

And Flynn was a leftist, who supported FDR for president, then opposed the entry into WWII, all foreign militarism, most of FDR's New Deal programs, and predicted the death of Social Security.

Yeah I was reading his bio on wikipedia... fascinating guy. God bless the internet, so much content that would have been very difficult to access in the pre-internet days. His analysis on Pearl Harbor, i found on antiwar.com, was very interesting and convinced me.  The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor

Dale has a well considered opinion piece in this month's Shire Liberty News.

A Little Less Douche

by Dale Everett



I realize the derogatory label of "douche" seems a rather vague term. In fact, this video by Daly Show TV seems to play upon its obscurity as an insult and deserves credit for inspiring the title of this article. I found myself using it lately to describe someone's behavior and it caused me to ponder for a moment what I meant by it. I'm not going to look it up on Urban Dictionary and get hung up on semantics. I'm simply going to clarify for the purpose of this article what I mean by the term.



A douche, it seems to me, is someone with an inflated sense of themselves. They have an ego that far exceeds how most others perceive them. The college frat-boy with rich parents who wears a polo shirt with the collar up and hits on women clearly out of his league and then declares them lesbians when they don't acknowledge his awesomeness... is a douche. When Kanye West says "Imma let you finish but..." he's being a douche. Douches inspire eye-rolls followed by an enlargement of one's own personal space bubble specifically with regard to them.

Just a snippet, wasn't sure how to point to the rest of the article... or if it should be for subscribers.

I see that Dale posted his article on Anarchy in Your Head, Libertarians: A little less douche
