Vermin Supreme had a really big day yesterday. For one, it was his first debate against Justin Amash. But more importantly, my son Dante (9), interviewed him for a school project about someone he really respects and admires. Vermin’s “that guy with the boot on his head” running for President whose major platform includes a…
by Joshua Ferguson Like many libertarians, small ‘l’ and large ‘L’ alike, I have been watching the entrance of Congressman Justin Amash into the Libertarian Party Presidential contest with some interest. And, I’m going to have to disagree with the opinions of Bob DiCostanzo in his recent article published on The Libertarian Republic. I’d like…
I have great respect for Tom Woods and Dave Smith. They are both smart, talented and have interesting things to say. However, their recent conversation on Woods’ podcast about the problems with Justin Amash’s candidacy was not very persuasive. Woods and Smith focused a great deal on Amash’s temperament and how he conveys his ideas…
As the Libertarian Party gathers for its presidential nominating convention in Austin at the end of May, or July, or maybe in another city at some outdoor high school football stadium on wooden bleacher seats that allow for proper spacing, one thought should be in the forefront of all decisions – 2020 provides the circumstances…
In the short time since Justin Amash announced his exploratory committee for his Presidential run, he’s had no problem getting coverage from major news outlets. They’ve asked him about current issues like COVID-19 and government’s response to it, about Trump and Biden, and about the likely effect of him running as the Libertarian Party standard…
Ladies and gentlemen, the Libertarian party officially has representation in Congress. No, they didn’t win an election or anything, but Justin Amash switched his registration from Independent to Libertarian prior to announcing an exploratory committee for the party’s presidential nomination on Tuesday. There had been rumors last week that Amash purchased a lifetime membership, but…
At the beginning of March, controversy arose in the Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY) after it was announced that, out of the eight qualified candidates for the 2020 Libertarian presidential nomination, seven of them were being kicked off the ballot. The one candidate who remained: Jacob Hornberger. While all primaries in the Libertarian Party…
TLR: This is Gary Doan and talking to Jo Jorgensen. She’s best known for being Harry Browne’s running mate on the ’96 Libertarian presidential ticket and is currently running for the nomination, herself. Jo, thanks for talking with me. JJ: Oh, thanks so much for the interview. I appreciate it. TLR: Yesterday was Super Tuesday…
I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Libertarian Party Senate Candidate for the state of Georgia, Shane Hazel. Mr. Hazel is co-host of The Rebellion Podcast with Banks Wise, which aims to articulate the ideas of personal and economic liberty in an exciting way while also educating listeners on the importance of American…
Last week, the 2020 Libertarian presidential primary got a little spicy when Mark Whitney, a fairly new and at-the-time surging candidate, told our very own Gary Doan exactly what he thought of two of his competitors, Jacob Hornberger and Lincoln Chafee. Whitney also used some choice epithets, which prompted the Libertarian Party of Florida to…
