“What if I have made the decision that I wish to allow someone on my own property, evaluating my own risks, but the government will not allow me to because they have determined that there is too high a risk that this individual may harm me?”

 

But what if your neighbor wishes to allow several people on their property who intend to blow up you and the town you live in? And then they do. Now that you’re dead, it’s up to the surviving property owners to find the murderers – if they didn’t blow themselves up, too – and bring them to justice. Or maybe they won’t because their properties – and lives – are still intact and therefore their property rights weren’t violated.

 

You seem to be assuming everyone has good intentions at heart and for those that don’t, it just has to be left up to chance.

The fact that governments are nefarious and work towards their own advantage does not negate the justification for vetting those entering the country. Your argument that the government could exclude the next Murray Rothbard is better suited to the pro-life proponents who could use it against abortion – what if the child murdered in/out of the womb would have been the next Murray Rothbard? You see how that works? We don’t need Murray to be physically present in the country for his ideas to flower but we do need a Murray to be born and live to expound such ideas in the first place. A Murray Rothbard can be excluded from entering the country because his ideas cannot be stopped at any border. The only way to stop him from coming up with and expounding at all is to kill him. For this reason I reject your argument on that point.

Laugh. It makes you feel good.

it tied together. You landed that one. So you can chase the wind and tie it together huh? That will come in handy. We might need somebody that can wrangle tornados. Gonna have to get you new boots and spurs but it's plausible.

yeah that's right you know me

Can't wait until the caucus, we will know then. Hope Cruz, Santorum, Carson, and Huckabee split that religious vote. The Trumpies get drunk and the five Neocons Christie, Rubio, Bush, Kasich, and Fiorina scarp for the libs and war crowd. Should be fun.

Gotta' try one now...

Once lived a person

He was a Hot Dog guy

Who came back to earth

from the pie in the sky

When I asked him what had happened

He looked into my eyes

and said "a wise man never tells,

because one knows when one has tried"

So I scampered offf foolishly

feeling a bit of shame

Then his voice from behind me said

son, it's just a game

Now here we are on a different ark

To brushfires of liberty, we are the spark

All hail, all hark

All hail, all hark

haha, oh well...

Glad to see some familiar and some not so familiar liberty accounts on their.  Didn't know if that was possible or not but glad you figured it out Anne!

How often do those update?

that students would be willing to use to aid the campaign in meeting numbers at key precincts?  Could there be something applied to the Rand app that would notify friends that you have arrived at your caucus location?  Ask them are you coming, will you join me, kind of like a reminder.  When the doors close students are the ones typically showing up late.  Is there a clever way to get them out early and fire them up ahead of time, discuss delegate strategy as those seats are almost always left vacant.
