Bump.

[SE Mom]

Excellent!

I've searched everywhere I can think of- but haven't found this anywhere else- would you be kind enough to post a link?

[Mo1]

Well .. stranger things have happened

[TexasCowboy]

It would be nice if the Libertarian Party would morph into one that I could support.

Gonna take a lot of morphing....

Good for Dr. Hospers.

THC(the "high" in marijuana) out of the brain works miracles.

[bahblahbah]

Where did you get this letter? I've already started posting it elsewhere and I don't want it to end up being phony.

[thingumbob]

Wow...that's good news. It's nice that he sees that dividing and conquering has been helping the left in this country for far to long..........thank god he had this revelation.

[ride the whirlwind]

Wonder how the libertarian candidate is stacking up in the polls. My guess is he's really off the radar, but when eavesdropping at an enemy site the other day, some dems were saying that they thought he might actually be in a position to take more potential votes from GWB than Nader would from Kerry. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

I see nothing on their web page http://www.lp.org

"This time, if we vote libertarian, we may win a tiny rhetorical battle, but lose the larger war.

Bump

Interesting letter.

However without a source it is completely worthless. Could you please share the source with us????

[muleskinner]

How did you get this letter if nobody else has it and it's not posted anywhere? Are you John Hospers? Does the name Gene Burns mean anything?

You are taking a big chance posting this and encourageing folks to post it elsewhere.

This better not be a CBS moment.

[muir_redwoods]

I am one more libertarian (small "L")who will be voting for Bush. Let the left be the idiots who vote for Nader and shoot themselves in the foot.

The Democratic Party today is a haven for anti-Semites, racists, radical environmentalists, plundering trial lawyers, government employee unions, and numerous other self-serving elites who despise the Constitution and loath private property. It is opposed to free speech – witness the mania for political correctness and intimidation on college campuses, and Kerry’s threat to sue television stations that carry the Swift Boat ads. If given the power to do so, Democrats will use any possible means to suppress opposing viewpoints, particularly on talk radio and in the university system. They will attempt to enact “hate speech” and “hate crime” laws and re-institute the Fairness Doctrine, initiate lawsuits, and create new regulations designed to suppress freedom of speech and intimidate their political adversaries. They will call it “defending human rights.” This sort of activity may well make up the core of a Kerry administration Justice Department that will have no truck with the rule of law except as a weapon to use against opponents.

Powerful paragraph- really makes the case against sKerry and the Demoncraps. This is a lot of the reason why I wouldn't dream of voting for Lurch.

Um, yahoo search lists only one John Hospers living in CA. If anyone wants to call him up and confirm that would be nice, though I'd bet he wouldn't like to be swarmed with phone calls .

Yet to hear from Harry "blame America first" Browne.

Whata partee.

[aj7360]

"johnjhospers" is currently online on AIM. I'm afraid I don't have the nerve to IM him... not that it's really him.

Any takers?? lol

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[Bat_Chemist]

I sent an email to johnjhopsers@aol.com, and the person with that address confirmed that he did write the letter, and he gave me his phone number if anyone wants to confirm that it is him. Thanks for the post, Y2!

[bahblahbah]

Now that we are pretty sure that he wrote this, where might it be published? According to wikipedia, he is an editor of Liberty magazine which I've never heard of.
