 President's
Corner
by
Sharon Harris
Is This "The Libertarian
Moment"?
Are you optimistic about
the future of liberty?
I am -- very much so! I've been
involved in the liberty movement
since the late 1960s. And I
firmly believe that we are in a
period of unprecedented growth
and acceptance of our ideas.
It is vital that we libertarians
cultivate and share honest
optimism about the possibilities
for libertarian success.
Honest optimism -- based on
reality, not wishful thinking --
encourages us, lifts our
spirits, and makes us eager to
go out and do the great work for
liberty that is still urgently
needed. Honest optimism is one
of the essential vitamins all
libertarian activists need.
If recent headlines have gotten
you down,
 I'd
like to recommend a lengthy
article that appeared in the
December 2008 issue of the
libertarian magazine Reason.
It's entitled "The
Libertarian Moment."
The authors, Reason editors Nick
Gillespie and Matt Welch, lay
down the case that we are living
in the dawning of what that
title implies.
Here are a few excerpts:
"We are in fact living at the
cusp of what should be called
the Libertarian Moment ... a
time of increasingly
hyper-individualized,
hyper-expanded choice over every
aspect of our lives."
"The only real growth market in
politics is voters who decline
political affiliation, and the
only political adjective
seemingly gaining in popularity
is... libertarian."
"From lefty comedian Bill Maher
to righty columnist Jonah
Goldberg, from in-the-tank
Democratic blogger Markos 'Daily
Kos' Moulitsas to in-the-tank
Republican talk show host Neal
Boortz, you can't turn around in
a political discussion anymore
without hearing someone identify
themselves at least partially
(whether rightly or wrongly) as
a 'libertarian.'
"The 2008 presidential campaign,
and to a heartening degree the
public debate and
all-too-temporary congressional
defeat of the Wall Street
bailout, gave the first hints at
what may soon become a permanent
libertarian strain in politics.
An uncharismatic libertarian
congressman from Texas, Ron
Paul, ignited a decentralized
swarm of money-bombing donors to
the Republican presidential
primaries with his message of
not wanting to run people's
lives ('we all have different
values'), or the economy
('people run the economy in a
free society'), or the world
('we don't need to be imposing
ourselves around the world')."
And the bang-up concluding
paragraph:
"[T]he power to swarm in the
direction of freedom is the new
technology fueling an idea that
is as old as the American
republic itself: No central
government shall interfere with
our life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness. The Libertarian
Moment is taking these
self-evident truths and
organizing them into a
comprehensive approach toward
living. It started where it
always does, in business and
culture, where innovation is
rewarded. Statist politicians --
it's not fully clear that there
is any other kind -- will ignore
that epochal shift at their
peril. And will eventually be
forced to fly to their own
personal San Clementes."
We try to include reasons for
optimism in each issue of the
Liberator Online. You'll find
some startling good news for
liberty in this issue's Good
News, Bad News, Unbelievable
News.
I believe, like the editors of
Reason, that we are indeed
living in The Libertarian
Moment. The goal of the
Advocates is to supply you with
the tools, techniques and
information that can help you
bring that glorious moment to
full fruition.
Thank you!

Good News,
Bad News,
Unbelievable News
by James W. Harris
40% of Americans Say
Marijuana Should Be Legal
 Three
startling new polls find
that a near-majority of
Americans are ready for bold
drug law reform:
legalization of marijuana.
A February national
telephone survey by
Rasmussen Reports finds
that a whopping 40% of
Americans say marijuana
should be legalized. 46%
disagree, and a
balance-of-power 14% are not
sure.
Further, a plurality (the
largest number, but not a
majority) of Democrats
supports legalization, as
does a plurality of those
not affiliated with either
of the two largest parties.
Two other recent polls back
this up. A
January CBS/New York Times
poll found 41% of
Americans in favor of
legalization. And a February
poll, conducted by
Zogby for the marijuana
legalization group NORML,
finds 44% of Americans in
support of legalized pot and
52% opposed.
Further, in some parts of
the country legal marijuana
already enjoys the
support of a solid majority.
Zogby finds that 58% of
respondents residing on the
west coast agree that
cannabis should be "taxed
and legally regulated like
alcohol and cigarettes."
Finally, demographics
predicts a bright future for
reform on this key issue of
individual liberty.
Rasmussen found that
"Americans under the age of
40 are much more supportive
of legalizing the drug than
are older Americans.
Obama Wants Gun Bans
Never mind that the Supreme
Court recently declared that
the Second Amendment
protects an individual right
to keep and bear arms.
The Obama administration
plans to
 reinstate
the Clinton administration
ban on so-called "assault
weapons" that expired in
2004 under the ban's sunset
provision. They have other
gun controls measures in
mind as well.
"As President Obama
indicated during the
campaign, there are just a
few gun-related changes that
we would like to make, and
among them would be to
reinstitute the ban on the
sale of assault weapons,"
Attorney General Eric Holder
told reporters on
February 25.
Holder said that re-banning
"assault weapons" would not
only be good for America, it
would help Mexico, which is
currently plagued by gun
violence among drug cartels.
Of course, the certain way
to stop such Drug War-caused
violence would be to end the
War on Drugs, but Holder
chose not to explore that
approach. Holder also
neglected to explain why
American freedom should be
limited at the request of a
foreign nation. Most
glaringly, he did not
explain how the federal
government, utterly unable
to stop immigrants or drugs
from freely crossing the
border, could somehow be
successful in stopping
weapons from doing so.
"Assault weapons" are not
the only victim-disarmament
measures the Obama
administration wants to see,
Holder says.
"I think closing the gun
show loophole, the banning
of cop-killer bullets, and I
also think that making the
assault weapons ban
permanent, would be
something that would be
permitted under Heller,"
Holder told the Senate
Judiciary Committee during
his confirmation hearing.
("Heller" refers to the
Supreme Court ruling in
Washington, D.C. v. Heller,
which declared the Second
Amendment protects an
individual right to own
firearms.)
"Assault
weapons," "cop-killer
bullets," and "gun
show loopholes" are all
lurid, bogus, deceptive
anti-gun propaganda terms.
In the past, legislation to
"control" these made-up
menaces have been Trojan
Horse laws -- vehicles with
wide-reaching, Draconian gun
control elements hidden in
their language.
The term "assault weapon,"
as used by Holder, has no
real meaning, as such guns
are semi-automatic firearms
that look different --
sometimes more "military" --
than traditional hunting and
self-defense guns, but
possess no additional
firepower. Thus the guns
were essentially banned for
cosmetic reasons, and the
ban was often derided as the
"ugly gun law." The
propaganda term "assault
weapon" leads the public to
often confuse these weapons
with automatic weapons,
i.e., machine guns, though
they are not. This
confusion, of course, is
often deliberately
encouraged by anti-gun
forces.
"A semi-automatic is a
quintessential self-defense
firearm owned by American
citizens in this country,"
said Wayne LaPierre of
the National Rifle
Association, in response to
Holder's remarks. "I think
it is clearly covered under
Heller and it's clearly, I
think, protected by the
Constitution."
"Cop killer bullets" have
never killed a cop, and laws
to ban them would arguably
ban vast amounts of
conventional ammunition. The
"gun show loophole" merely
allows citizens who are not
licensed firearm dealers to
sell guns at gun shows. It
is not a "loophole"; the
current law was deliberately
written to protect such
private exchanges from
government control.
Check the links above for
more information on these
topics, which are sure to be
widely debated in the days
and weeks ahead.
Russian Leader Putin Warns
U.S. of Dangers of Socialism
 Who
could possibly have
predicted
this a few years ago:
the Kremlin singing praises
for free enterprise and
warning the U.S. about the
dangers of socialism!
Yet that's
exactly what happened in
January at the annual World
Economic Forum, an
international gathering of
business giants,
politicians, activists,
journalists, intellectuals,
celebrities and other
influential figures in the
Swiss city of Davos.
Speaking about the current
economic crisis, Russian
Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin told the assembled
glitterati:
"In the 20th century, the
Soviet Union made the
state's role absolute. In
the long run, this made the
Soviet economy totally
uncompetitive. This lesson
cost us dearly. I am sure
nobody wants to see it
repeated. ...
"Nor should we turn a blind
eye to the fact that the
spirit of free enterprise,
including the principle of
personal responsibility of
businesspeople, investors,
and shareholders for their
decisions, is being eroded
in the last few months.
There is no reason to
believe that we can achieve
better results by shifting
responsibility onto the
state."
This is mind-boggling. As
libertarian journalist
Justin Raimondo of
antiwar.com noted, here
Putin sounded "more like
Barry Goldwater than any
Russian leader I ever heard
of."
But Putin went further,
warning against the dangers
of military expansionism as
a means of solving economic
woes.
"Unfortunately, we are
increasingly hearing the
argument that the buildup of
military spending could
solve today's social and
economic problems. The logic
is simple enough. Additional
military allocations create
new jobs.
"At a glance, this sounds
like a good way of fighting
the crisis and unemployment.
This policy might even be
quite effective in the short
term. But in the longer run,
militarization won't solve
the problem but will rather
quell it temporarily. What
it will do is squeeze huge
financial and other
resources from the economy
instead of finding better
and wiser uses for them."
Ron Paul could hardly have
put it better.
Of course, Putin's remarks
should fool no one into
forgetting his brutal
violations of civil
liberties and human rights,
and the massive restrictions
on economic liberty he
supports.
But this was one truly weird
moment in history.
As Justin Raimondo
concludes: "That a Russian
leader is now telling
Americans that their turn
toward statism and
militarism is harmful both
to themselves and to the
world is a turn of events no
one of my generation could
possibly have imagined,
certainly not anyone of
libertarian inclinations. It
is a sad and telling
commentary that no American
leader of any stature, aside
from the previously
mentioned Rep. Paul, has the
courage to tell us what we
need to hear."
"Atlas Shrugged" Sales
Soaring
Sales of Ayn Rand's 1957
classic individualist novel
Atlas Shrugged have almost
tripled over the first seven
weeks of this year compared
with sales for the same
period in 2008,
according to the Ayn Rand
Center for Individual Rights.
Even more remarkably, this
comes
after
 bookstore
sales reported an all-time
annual high in 2008 of about
200,000 copies sold.
"Americans are flocking to
buy and read Atlas Shrugged
because there are uncanny
similarities between the
plot-line of the book and
the events of our day," said
Yaron Brook, Executive
Director at the Ayn Rand
Center for Individual
Rights.
"Americans are rightfully
concerned about the economic
crisis and government's
increasing intervention and
attempts to control the
economy. Ayn Rand understood
and identified the deeper
causes of the crisis we're
facing, and she offered, in
Atlas Shrugged, a principled
and practical solution
consistent with American
values."
Atlas Shrugged has never
been out of print. Far more
copies are now sold each
year than were sold any year
in Rand's lifetime. Atlas
Shrugged is routinely
praised as one of the most
influential novels of the
past century.
Henry Hazlitt Predicted
Housing Crisis -- In 1946
Free market economist Henry
Hazlitt predicted the
current housing shortage in
his marvelous book Economics
In One Lesson -- which was
first published in 1946.
Wrote Hazlitt:
"Government-guaranteed
home mortgages, especially
when a negligible down
payment or no down payment
whatever is required,
inevitably mean more bad
loans than otherwise. They
force the general taxpayer
to subsidize the bad risks
and to defray the losses.
They encourage people to
"buy" houses that they
cannot really afford. They
tend eventually to bring
about an oversupply of
houses as compared with
other things. They
temporarily overstimulate
building, raise the cost of
building for everybody
(including the buyers of the
homes with the guaranteed
mortgages), and may mislead
the building industry into
an eventually costly
overexpansion. In brief, in
they long run they do not
increase overall national
production but encourage
malinvestment."
The Advocates has long
recommended Hazlitt's
classic short book as a fast
and painless way for
non-economists to quickly
gain a solid understanding
of free market economics.
Jargon-free and written for
non-economists, Economics in
One Lesson is surely one of
the most pleasant to read of
all books on economics. The
great H.L. Mencken once
described Hazlitt as "one of
the few economists in human
history who could really
write."
(Hat tip to the
Ayn Rand Center.)

Quick Shots...
THE NEW GENERATION IS
LIBERTARIAN: "Young
people are more likely to be
libertarian than
conservative. Conservatives
and Republicans, to win,
need to do a better job of
making the [Republican]
party a more welcoming place
for libertarians." --
David Kirby, president
of America's Future
Foundation, a non-profit
network of young
conservative and libertarian
leaders, speaking at the
national Conservative
Political Action Conference.
HOW TO INSTANTLY REVIVE THE
U.S. ECONOMY: "All
you need to do is grant
visas to two million
Indians, Chinese and
Koreans. We will buy up all
the subprime homes. We will
work 18 hours a day to pay
for them. We will
immediately improve your
savings rate -- no Indian
bank today has more than 2
percent nonperforming loans
because not paying your
mortgage is considered
shameful here. And we will
start new companies to
create our own jobs and jobs
for more Americans." --
Shekhar Gupta, editor of
The Indian Express
newspaper, quoted by
syndicated columnist Thomas
Friedman.
JUST HOW BIG IS THAT
STIMULUS PACKAGE?:

 PERSUASION
POWER
POINT
#264:
All Credit is Debt
by Michael Cloud
Most stock market insiders,
Wall Street gurus, and
economic and political
pundits claim that we're in
a "credit crisis." They seem
united in their calls for
the government to "thaw the
credit markets" -- so
businesses can recover.
They wring their hands about
the "credit freeze," "credit
crunch," or "tight credit."
If only the Federal Reserve
or Congress would provide
the money to "loosen" or
"ease" or "thaw" the credit
market...
For a moment, let's set
aside their assertions and
opinions.
Let's examine the word
they're using to define the
issue: "credit." The word
"credit" is one side of the
coin. The flip side is the
word "debt ."
You can't have one side of
the coin without the other.
"All credit is debt," wrote
Henry Hazlitt in
Economics in One Lesson.
"Proposals for an increased
volume of credit, therefore,
are merely another name for
proposals for an increased
burden of debt. When they
say the way to economic
salvation is to increase
credit, it is just as if
they said the way to
economic salvation is to
increase debt: these are
different names for the same
thing seen from opposite
sides."
So why are the analysts and
commentators only talking
about "credit"?
Why aren't beating the drum
for "debt"?
They could claim: "To make
corporations solvent, we
must put them deeper in
debt."
Or: "Borrowing and debt are
the lifeblood of American
business."
Or: "We have a debt crisis:
the only remedy is to let
business get further and
further into debt."
Or: "Unless major
corporations can
dramatically increase their
financial liabilities, they
can't start turning a
profit."
Or: "Wall Street's biggest
problem is a lack of access
to greater borrowing, more
liabilities, and increased
financial burdens."
Or: "Major corporations are
failing because they do not
owe enough money, because
they cannot run up a bigger
debt."
Or: "Businesses are failing
because of a shortage of
debt."
Turn over the word coin.
Take their sentences, their
words, and replace the word
"credit" with the word
"debt." Ask them whether
they still believe it. Ask
their listeners and readers
whether they still want it.
Call in to talk radio shows.
Use the Henry Hazlitt quote.
Then replace the word
"credit" with the word
"debt" in pro-bailout
sentences and phrases. Ask
listeners what they think of
the word trickery.
When you read an essay or
article online that uses the
half-truth word "credit,"
post the Hazlitt quote --
and replace the word
"credit" with "debt." Ask
readers to comment.
Sometimes you don't have to
argue a point. Simply reveal
what they're trying to
conceal.
We may be only one insight
away from convincing people.
All credit is debt.

 Ask
Dr.
Ruwart
Dr. Mary Ruwart is a leading
expert in libertarian
communication. In this column
she offers short answers to real
questions about libertarianism.
To submit questions to Dr.
Ruwart, see end of column.
Will immigration lead to
homogenization of culture?
QUESTION: Will open
immigration homogenize nations?
That is, will it make their
cultures the same? Looking at
the European Union we see a
continent where an elite is
trying to homogenize and unify
it. Open borders are one of the
tools being used.
MY SHORT ANSWER:
Ultimately, societal attitudes
contribute as much or more to
homogenization than open
borders.
If each of us stayed in our own
 countries
and never left, we wouldn't have
intermarriage, which definitely
contributes to homogenization.
However, through TV, radio, and
the Internet we might all
eventually adopt the same
customs and lifestyle even if no
borders were crossed.
On the other hand, some ethnic
groups keep to themselves even
when they enter a new nation.
These communities are often
large enough to make it possible
for many immigrants never to
even learn the language of their
host country.
Some people think that
homogenization means less
strife. However, having similar
physical characteristics,
language, or customs is no
guarantee of peace. Mutual
respect, honoring our neighbor's
choice, and righting any wrongs
that we do (i.e., the
libertarian philosophy),
however, is a tried and true
path to that end.
Switzerland, for example, is one
of the most libertarian nations
in the world. This wealthy and
peaceful nation was founded to
unite -- but not homogenize --
diverse groups of people. It has
three national languages:
French, Italian, and German.
Peaceful coexistence is about
mutual respect and delighting in
our differences, rather than
feeling a need to force everyone
into the same mold.

One-Minute
Liberty Tip
Who's the REAL Enemy?
by Sharon Harris
With government getting
bigger and ever more
intrusive, libertarians have
no shortage of opportunities
to criticize Congress and
the Obama administration.
This is a great opportunity
to present libertarian
solutions to the massive
economic problems that Big
Government has created --
and is now making even worse
by its own statist
"solutions."
But there's a potential
pitfall here as well.
If libertarians merely
attack "liberal" or
"progressive" or "leftist"
economic policies (as in
"liberal big spending
programs," or "progressive
central planning of the
economy"), inevitably many
people will assume, by
default, that we are
speaking as "conservatives."
It's far better, instead, to
label the government
programs we are criticizing
as "statis t,"
"authoritarian," or
"big-government" policies.
We must make it clear that
our objections, and our
proposals, are from a
libertarian,
small-government,
pro-freedom viewpoint, not a
conservative one.
That lets us accomplish some
powerful things for the
libertarian movement.
* It prevents us from
inadvertently being heard as
a voice for the conservative
movement, which favors many
non-libertarian policies.
* It helps us point out the
weakness of the "left versus
right" model of politics --
which excludes libertarians
-- and gives us the
opportunity to point out
that libertarianism is a
large and fast-growing third
voice in American politics.
(As always, the
World's Smallest Political
Quiz is tremendously
helpful in quickly making
this clear.)
* Large and increasing
numbers of people are
looking for an alternative
to both liberalism and
conservatism. And they are
increasingly hearing about
libertarianism.
Distinguishing our position
as "libertarian" lets our
listeners know that we are
different from the other
political philosophies --
and encourages them to seek
more information.
Libertarianism is today a
significant and fast-growing
part of the American
political scene. It is more
important than ever that we
establish and clarify a true
and distinctive libertarian
brand.
Let's not hide our
libertarian light under a
basket!

"name-branding"
libertarianism at the
