DeLay Guilty of Money Laundering

Another common misconception. President’s cannot pardon people who were convicted in state court. The President’s pardon power extends only to offenses cognizable under federal law, as a law professor might say.

And as I noted, “where applicable,” I just should have placed that behind the statement of the President of the US as well. If this was tried in a State Court (I wasn’t certain whether it was a State Court IN Travis County, or a Federal Court there) then Gov. Perry DOES have jurisdiction to grant immediate Pardon. He should do so. Of course, Perry is awfully slick. Not sure he can be trusted completely. But he ought to pardon Delay if for no other reason than to just tick the Dems in Texas off — because God knows they’ve gotten away with FAR worse at the state and federal level for ages.

HEY! I’M NOT DEFENDING THE LAW! ALL I’M SAYING IS THIS, IF DELAY BROKE A LAW OF THE LAND ... HE MUST SUFFER. Who cares about that shitty law, anyway? Now. Do the same with other corrupt politicians.

Of course, libertarianism by its name means that libertarians like me seek freedom to live the way they want it, as long as their freedom don’t infringe/curtail/hurt the freedom of others.

Most of all, we are for limited government, which is at least closer to “no government at all”.

Democratic Party was originally the house of the libertarians. Not anymore. Socialists and communist took over that Party. What a shame! Many libertarians are anti-socialist. Nowadays, we find Republicanism and conservatism as more friendly to our way of thoughts, than socialism.

Yes. Libertarians hate hypocrites. Normally, we swing vote depending on the level of hypocrisy of the R or D nominee.

In the last election, many libertarians still voted for Obama because the R nominee was a certified hypocrite. We were cool with Sarah but that’s not enought to counter the poison that was John McCain.

But not anymore. Obama is the biggest hypocritical President ever. More hypocrite than big-government Nixon himself. Before, Obama had a clean card with regards to DC corruption. Now, he’s the leader of all corrupt men in DC.

Notes about libertarianism:

1. We are not “dogmatic’. We hate “ideologues”. I used the word “principle” but it’s inadequate. Libertarianism is more of a psyche.

2. We are free people.

3. We hate the elite people in the government.

4. We kick a government official’s ass. Especially if proven “guilty”. Delay fits that.

Modern example of a libertarian: MUSE’s lead vocalist Matt Bellamy. Listen to Muse latest album: RESISTANCE! The song “uprising” is kinda cool to me! I’ve been listening to that when I went to vote last November. But Bellamy is just one example - he’s a Geoist, but I’m anti-tax. Being “free” makes libertarians too difficult to define in terms of “ideologue”.

[Sadly: We really hate bible-thumpers! But we admire and cherish those Christians who really follow Christ, a true Servant-Leader and “slow in judgment”, like what he did to Mary Magdalene*, right?]

*Magdalene, for me, represents the common people. Delay, on the other hand, is a typical Pharisee. Sorry! Even Christ lashed out at the Pharisees.
