A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Elsewhere in the present issue of L. Neil Smith's The Libertarian Enterprise, I discuss (if that's the word for it) the treacherous and predictably bi-partisan passage by Congress—on Bill of Rights Day—of the vile and blatantly illegal "National Defense Authorization Act". To say that I do not think highly of anybody who voted for the thing (or anybody who abstained from voting; are you listening, Ron Paul?) is the most massively restrained understatement I am capable of making.

We will be suggesting measures to be taken against what amounts to the worst assault on America since Pearl Harbor or the World Trade Center.

For now, we will pursue the following practice, and suggest you do the same (fair warning—we will edit contributions accordingly): when discussing individual Democratic Senators and Congressmen who voted for the NDAA, we will append to their names the epithet (DT-X), the X standing for their state, and the T standing for "traitor". Republicans who voted for the NDAA will similarly be labeled (RT-X). Those who abstained will be (DC-X) and RC-X), the C standing for "coward". [I would prefer "Mother-fucking Traitor" and "Mother-fucking Coward" myself, but I'm an uncouth country bumpkin kind of feller—Editor]

It may not be much, but, as somebody said, "All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Or, I would add, to hide under their beds having failed to vote against the end of America.

But then, those wouldn't be good men, would they?

In fact, they wouldn't be men at all.

THE EDITOR SEZ:

Remember, the Purpose of The American Revolution was to elevate the individual to the highest political level, and to make the government a minor subservient function. Anyone who says otherwise is a fookin' liar. And that's the truth.
