Pro-Liberty News and Opinion | Libertarian Voluntaryist

At a recent “Town Hall Meeting” in Portsmouth New Hampshire a man was spotted open-carrying a loaded fire arm on his lower leg. The main stream media, particularly MSNBC, was shocked and appalled by this. “How could a man be allowed to exercise his second amendment right”, they seemed to be asking.

Some notable facts: The man was on the private private property of a church and the owners of that property knew he was there and permitted his presence. Obama was going to be at a near by high school hours later. Also, open-carry is legal in New Hampshire and the firearm was registered correction: guns do not have to be registerd in NH and this one was not. MSNBC got this wrong. Law enforcement was aware of his presence and the crowd did not seem to be bothered. Only the media was making a big deal out of the situation.

Some reactions from MSNBC pundits. Notice how they pull the race card:

The man was later identified as William Kostric. He was later interviewed on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. Personally I think Kostric did a great job of disarming the notoriously hotheaded Matthews. He got his viewpoint out there without raising his voice and without allowing Matthews to step all over him.

I will let Kostric speak for himself on the reasons why he decided to open carry at the event:

Three “Libertarians” discuss the health care and health insurance situation in America.

Penn Jillette probably takes the most extreme position and I must say that I seem to agree with him the most.

Penn says, “One thing is all this pretending that we are going toward socialized medicine. We are not going towards it, we’re already there.”

The Young Americans For Liberty were holding a protest in D.C. when the cops were sent to break them up. See what happens here:

Make sure you watch to the end so you can see the vehicle that was sent out. This is your tax dollars hard at work.

Looks like the government is suggesting that good citizens report any e-mails that oppose the Obama Administrations Health Care policy.

I, of course, would never suggest that anyone reading this should send copies of the first and fourth amendments to flag@whitehouse.gov

I wonder if the submissions will end up on a terrorist watch list:

The first one was on the music industry. This one tackles the current political hot-topic of the day: Health Care.
