Are there Human Rights? By Tom Palven Who’s on the Dole? As a long-time libertarian who originally came from the Goldwater right, I By John Paff have been a staunch supporter of the US Constitution and particularly the Bill of Rights. Many of my numerous letters-to-the-editor over the years have cited one or more of the Have you ever first ten amendments. However, at this late date I have reluctantly come to conclude wondered exactly who is that the term “rights” or “human rights” may be essentially meaningless, and that to cite collecting all those them as a cause for action or as a defense against governmental action is at best useless, and may even be counterproductive. federal farm subsidies? In the 1970’s Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-MA co-sponsored the “No-Knock If so, check out the Law” for Washington, DC allowing government employees to break into citizen’s Environmental Working homes. Arguing against the bill was Sen. Sam Ervin, D-NC who stated that the law Group's web site at would violate the spirit of the US Constitution. He noted that when the British http://www.ewg.org/far parliament proposed such a law in order to enforce a whisky tax, William Pitt argued that a man’s home was his castle, and that “though it might be frail and the wind might m/state.php?fips=us. enter and the rain might enter, the King’s men may not enter”. That measure failed. This site allows you to Kennedy cited the necessity of winning the War on Drugs. The “No-Knock Bill” search for subsidy passed as an emergency measure and is now employed throughout the country, granting recipients by zip code, th Americans less right to privacy in their homes than that enjoyed under an 18 century last name or business monarchy. Gun advocates can recite the Second Amendment until they turn blue, but name. Punch in your questions of the legalities of buying and selling guns, carrying concealed or visible zip code and see if any weapons, etc., will continue to have little to do with the Bill of Rights and a lot to do of your neighbors or with which pressure groups wield more political power. It should have been obvious to local politicians are on me years ago that political power trumps the Constitution, and that the electorate knows the dole. little and cares less about this fact. But it seems that we libertarians who have had a special reverence for the Founding Fathers and the Constitution have worn blinders with the regard to our Constitutional “rights”. How, for example, can our cherished rights to life and liberty possibly be squared with the draft that sent thousands of men to die in the senseless undeclared war in Viet Nam? One can spin it and rationalize it and it still just won’t compute. The best on can do is to take the reverence one step further and pretend that the US Government, like God, works in strange and mysterious ways, its wonders to perform, and that this fact should not be questioned. We seem to be the last to know that the Constitution is a joke. Police academies teach that citizens do not have rights, but privileges bestowed by Save $200 and Help government. Even the one right that police cite, the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, has been overturned. A person is now given a limited immunity and if he or she the NJLP! refuses to testify he or she is held in contempt and permanently jailed. But it is not only Save $200! Become a the police academies that argue against rights. Professor Robert Bork of Yale Law $300 Lifetime Member School said that Americans do not enjoy a right to privacy because it cannot be found in today! the Constitution. And recently Professor Ruth Wedgwood, also of Yale Law School, argued regarding the Jose Padilla case, that American citizens could be jailed Lifetime Membership in indefinitely without charges being filed because this is an emergency. (See – Prof. Ruth the N.J. Libertarian Wedgwood Yale – on line.) Party will rise to $500 I am now convinced that when we libertarians seek to use the US Constitution starting October 1. But to bolster our arguments for freedom it makes us appear quaint and out of touch, if not if you upgrade your downright ridiculous. Rights simply do not exist here, in Nazi Germany, or anywhere, membership to Lifetime but only privileges doles out by the powers that be, and which may not include the before October 1 you'll “privilege to live” for young American men in the ‘70s, but may include the “privilege only pay $300.

If we wish to make a case for gun ownership advantage on this and/or carrying guns, for example, we should forget what Madison or the Constitution limited time offer while said, but make a case regarding crime and self defense in the here and now.

Tom Palven was one of the first two libertarians to run for Congress from NJ, and is past editor of the New Jersey Libertarian. New Jersey Liiberttariian 2 Augustt 2002 Voter Affiliation Update Overnight we doubled our affiliation numbers in Gloucester County! Two of our more dedicated members (who will go nameless to save them the embarrassment) finally got around to mailing in their forms after the last issue of the NJL came out and we jumped from two registered Libertarians to four. Yeah, that's silly. But it shows how easily we can increase our total of registered Libertarians. If every current dues-paying member simply took a minute or two to complete and mail the form below we'd soar from the 112 recorded by the State as of Primary Day to well over 600. The Monmouth-Ocean County organization did a mailing to all members in their locale including a copy of the form plus an addressed reply envelope. It was their second to Monmouth members and their first to those in Ocean County. The first such mailing was largely responsible for the 26 registered Libertarians recorded in Monmouth. If every active local organization did the same it should yield similar, positive results. To register your party affiliation as Libertarian simply complete the form below and mail it to your county Board of Elections at the address on the list.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire

At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

    #111 State of Siege: What the Free State Project Means for New Hampshire’s Public Schools Jennifer Berkshire Welcome to Have You Heard. I’m Jennifer Berkshire. Jack Schneider And I’m Jack Schneider. Berkshire And Jack, this episode features a trip down the rabbit hole. Schneider I feel like that's every episode. Berkshire No, actually, you don't even know rabbit hole until you've joined me for this episode. Schneider Okay. Well, here I am. I've joined you. Berkshire So the idea for this episode actually came from a book talk that you and I did in New Hampshire. And somebody who participated in that, he described a situation where things in his town were kind of unpleasant. And he asked a question just about, you know, like, did we have any tips about how to, you know, make the discourse in a community more positive around the schools? And I think we answered in kind of a generic way. We mentioned some conversations we've been having with other groups around the country. And then he and I started corresponding and I realized, wow, he's not just talking about like ordinary levels of acrimony. There is something really weird going on and I need to know more about it. And so that's where we're headed. Berkshire We’re going to Sunapee, New Hampshire. Are you ready? Schneider I'm ready. Let's do it. Jesse Tyler I'm Jesse Tyler, I'm a school board chair in the town of Sunapee, New Hampshire which has about 3,300 residents spread over many beautiful acres with an incredible pristine lake.
