A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Attribute to The Libertarian Enterprise

Elsewhere in this issue of The Libertarian Enterprise, we have reprinted a story about a woman who expressed herself truthfully to an Obama campaigner, and ended up with Secret Service thugs on her front porch, asking her impertinent questions about her private thought processes.

The Thought Police have arrived.

Around about the same time, we heard that Obama had shown a flash of bad temper (not for the first time) when asked a question he didn't care for at a press conference and that the asker was likely to be declared persona non grata at future press conferences. We were also aware that he'd had at least two reporters thrown off his campaign aircraft when their publishers had perfidiously endorsed his political opponent.

Remember Bush II being castigated for saying "If you're not with us you're against us?" Obama has given that ideas legs—and roller skates.

All of this is set against a background of hatred and intolerance—with a definite odor of religious fanaticism—displayed by Obama supporters from the top of the heap right down to the humblest rank and file, and amplified by many in the socialist mass media, as well. This vicious hysteria was observable almost from the start. It was as if no mere mortal could possibly have the right to criticise—let alone to run against—America's future god-king. Over two thousand individual complaints of intimidation and similar malfeasances have allegedly been filed against the Obama campaign in the state of Texas alone.

We reiterate these points in order to ask a serious question. If the Obamaniacs were this bold during the campaign, when votes were on the line, and the whole world was supposedly watching, what will life be like once the god-king has been ceremoniously installed and begins raising the "domestic security force" he has mentioned in several speeches? When will his unaccountable thugs start going door-to-door—as they did in the Chicago voter farms—looking for the guns you own?

There is a way to fight back—a perfectly legal way that can defeat the god-king's ambitions—but it requires more elbow grease and determination than libertarians have ever mustered before. This administration and its glorious leader can turned into a lame duck in its first year, but only if those who oppose it have courage and resolve.

I will explain thoroughly in a future article.

This is absolutely our last chance before we're all taken on the long Cambodian march. Libertarians have always been better at making excuses than getting things done. It's a tradition we must put behind us.

Now.

Stay tuned.
