Op Ed reply on the Tapp's Arts Center Project"
As a Libertarian, I'm naturally opposed to Government (at any level)
interfering in the free market place. But as you well know, Government
constantly interferes in the market place. From onerous licensing and
regulations, to the extent of telling private property owners what they
can do on their own property through zoning laws. These impositions into
our lives never seem to meet with as much scrutiny, and herein is the
crux of my argument.
In all of these debates over Main Street America Revitalization Projects
no one ever asks, "Why is Main Street America in trouble?" Many short-
sighted people with a leftist bent will blame business itself: Walmart,
'greedy' businessmen who have abandoned urban centers, etc, etc....
I BLAME Government!
Specifically Government's Land Use Programs that began in the 1960's
through UNESCO (yes the UN) an fully implemented in the 1970's
nationwide. Onerous ZONING LAWS were the result. I could write a book
on this issue; and I might one day. But for the sake of this single debate,
the Tapp's Arts Center Project, I will restrain myself.
Main Street is dead because Main St. DIES each day at 5 PM.
Thanks to onerous zoning laws people don't LIVE there, so people don't
SHOP there, so people don't EAT there, etc. etc. Granted this is changing;
a property owner can now go to the Government and ask (or plead) for a
variance to have residential living space in commercially zoned areas.
Government interference created these problems, and Government
has an obligation to remedy these problems. And to the extent of
giving reparations(money) to property owners for the damage that
bad anti-business Government interference caused! - Joe Schwarz

WMD in Iraq was a lie.....
Well there you go. Bush and every other leader of the Western World
was hoodwinked about WMD in Iraq by a LIAR. We should have
water-boarded him to see if he was telling the truth in the first place.
Is there an empty cell at Gitmo?

Are you a John Galt?

Ok, I admit I must be Islamophobic...
Ok, I admit I must be Islamophobic. As a Libertarian, the
Jihadist Muslims scare the bejesus out of me. (pun intended),
but this is how the so-called 'Moderate Muslims' of Egypt think:
48% say Islam plays a large role in their country's political life
85% consider Islamic influence over political life to be a positive thing for their country
61% see no struggle between those who want to modernize their country and Islamic fundamentalists
54% support making gender segregation in the workplace the law in their country
82% endorse the stoning of people who commit adultery (Meaning Women?)
77% support whippings and cutting off of hands for crimes like theft and robbery
84% support the death penalty for those who leave the Muslim religion
My Liberal friends, that doesn't scare you, but Sarah Palin does?

Happy Valentine's Day America! Hope you got chocolate with the F###ing Obama just gave US!! Wake Up America!!!
Obama's budget has a 1.6 Trillion dollar DEFICIT!
again, for the third year in a row. That is 3 times the
highest deficit George Bush ever had; And the Liberals
screamed Bloody murder then! Where are you Liberals
NOW??? Obama has racked up 5 Trillion in debt in just
Three Years! That is over half of the TOTAL debt the US
racked up in 222 Years! All the while he has the balls to
tell us that he is cutting the deficit? This guy is more a
Svengali than Svengali. A bold face LIAR is more accurate.
Wake Up America!!! This President is ruining us!!!!
PS. Happy Valentines Day! Hope you got some chocolate
