Fellow conservatarian Tim Nerenz is not channeling his inner Louis Armstrong when he writes:

Here is your moment of clarity: either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson himself could not write a more succinct argument for limited government and individual self-sovereignty than is self-evident in that awful truth.

I would prefer any of the three Libertarian Party candidates for the LP nomination over those two, but realistically our guys are not going to win. Gary Johnson is a CEO of a pot company; the Nevertrump conservatives can’t forgive the weed part and the Bernout communists can’t forgive the CEO part.

So one of the two old white people with higher unfavorable than favorable ratings is going to be elected and handed the levers of power that have been unjustly appropriated by Republicans and Democrats alike over the years. Everybody on the left who cheered King Obama’s decree on hourly wage exemptions can now look forward to King Donald’s decisions about the wages and benefits for the serfs. And everyone on the right calling for Apple to give up the master codes so NSA can suck the data out of our cell phones can imagine what sort of vindictive purposes Queen Hillary will find to use your own information against you. Always imagine the worst and you will never be let down by government.

Hillary says Trump’s gun policy is “dangerous”. What is dangerous is that she understands what his policy is on guns or anything else. That is some kind of psychic witchcraft at work — nobody else has the slightest idea what he is talking about, including himself five minutes later. With one of these two deciding which bathrooms we can use and whether or not we can vape and how much of our 401(k) they will swipe to fund their government, that second amendment is looking better and better all the time. I hope the Libertarians nominate McAfee at our convention — that boy’s gun policy is somewhere to the right of Ted Nugent and he knows where to buy copies of Hillary’s emails from hackers in Romania — faster than the FBI and cheaper too. It might bother some people that his wife was a prostitute, but I’m thinking it will be refreshing to have a retiree from the trade in Washington.

And speaking of Bernie Sanders, the college his wife ran went belly up this week. Can’t imagine why, with less than 200 students and $10 million in debt, Burlington College got rid of grades and course schedules, and offered majors in woodworking and media activism, among other course credits that would not transfer to accredited schools. It was on probation for lying about its enrollment, failing to pay property taxes, defaulting on its loan to the Catholic Archdiocese and breaking covenants for a Vermont government loan purchased by a “Peoples Bank”. The article written in 2014 about its impending doom did not say how many administrators it employed, but did mention that 25 had left recently — that is 25 less administrators for a school with only 180 students who paid $23,546 a year to listen to marxists professors lecture them about the evils of capitalism and the need for free education. That is why Trump University will not be an issue.

The commies at Burlington College had their chance to provide some free education and punted — they are taking unemployment instead of teaching for free. And the capital fund launched to pay off the debt taken on by Mrs. Sanders during her tenure as President only raised $500k, a pittance considering the deep pocketbooks of Sanders’ celebrity supporters, like Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. The property will be sold to a real estate developer — a capitalist who will put it to good use after the Sanders regime proved that Venezuela was no fluke and ran it right into the dirt. …

So yes, in fact I do think that the average Walmart manager is smarter than our current Attorney General and the Democrats and Republicans at the city, state, and federal levels of government. That is why I am a libertarian; liberty is the absence of government in choice, government is the absence of liberty in choice, and tyranny is the absence of choice in government. Fix a bridge, arrest a bad guy, and then go lay by your dish. Just leave us alone and we all get along just fine.
