I have been somewhat reticent lately due to a myriad of personal issues. I suppose that my recent campaign and election would be the paramount reason for my absence. Ideally, I would find the time necessary to blog, campaign, fundraise and a whole host of other activities I am involved in. However, I remain resolute in maintaining my family as the priority in my life. As this activity (blogging) is perhaps the lowest on my list of priorities, it has suffered the most from my increased involvement in other areas.
I make not apologies for my involvement in the Libertarian Reform movement. Nor will I apologize for being a constitutionalist. Being such allows me to utilize a broad brush in my criticism of our elected leaders. From my initial involvement with the LP, it became painfully clear that many in the party, for some reason, seek exclusivity and dogmatic purity as opposed to adopting a rational approach of providing practical policy solutions. I have watched the LP for over 20 years in electoral politics. Practicing the policy of purges and Puritanism will only result in the marginalization of the libertarian movement and our nation will slip further down the slope to despotism.
