BTP-NC Revival ... can I get an amen!

I have been taking with Jim Davidson about reviving the BTP-NC. My ulterior motive is to make the BTP-NC an active voice for presenting the libertarian perspective on NC issues through letters, op eds, press release and a website.

First to File

RALEIGH (Feb. 8) – Dr. Mike Beitler was the first candidate to file for U.S. Senator today. Beitler is seeking the Libertarian nomination. No other Libertarian candidate is expected to file, so Beitler will probably be in a three-way race in November.

He was joined by three Libertarian candidates for U.S. Congress at the State Board of Elections office in Raleigh. Thomas Hill filed for the 8th Congressional District and Thomas Rose filed for the 2nd CD.

The Government Has a "Dirty Little Secret"

There are many claims about Republicans and Democrats that are false. However, don’t think for one second that I’m defending the Political Duopoly. The claim most often heard is either: “Democrats are ‘Socialists’!” or “Republicans are ‘Nazis’!”. Neither of these claims is acurate, both parties – actually two parts of the same “Ruling Party” – are FASCISTS! Not every member of the Republican or Democratic Party are fascists, there are a few that are freedom loving people, there are even a few avowed Socialists; but the leadership of the Ruling Party is fascists and they know it.

Welcome to the Police State!

Welcome to the Police State! No, this isn't something that just happened. It didn't happen over night; it's been a long time coming, just like the story of catching wild pigs. In the documentary “America: Freedom to Fascism” Ron Paul says, “You have to get permission from the government for almost *everything*. And if that is the definition of a Police State -- that you can't do anything unless the government gives you permission -- we're well on our way.”

Beware, your right to bear arms may be in jeopardy

Recently the Department of Homeland “Security” issued two startling
“reports” concerning “Right wing extremism”. The first report to be leaked
mentioned supposed “threats” posed by military veterans and those who
support Constitutionally limited government. The second “report” to leak
was titled "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" and supposedly rescinded. However,
a bill (HR 2159) was introduced by Representative Peter King (NY-3) titled
“Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009”.
While this bill “sounds” good, once you realize that YOU could potentially

Tea Party response to President Obama's 100 day Press Conference

I know it's normally only the State of the Union Address that gets an “opposition” reply, but President Obama's 100 day Press Conference deserves a REAL response.

President Obama began by stating that he would throw $1.5 billion at “solving” a flu “problem” that is not near as severe as the “regular flu”. I honestly believe that he will use this “pandemic” as a tool to further push his “universal health care” agenda.
