Austin Dispatches | No. 113 | July 12, 2008 |
Wait. This is supposed to be a party that represents libertarian principles. So why am I getting a solicitation from the same Bill Redpath who compromised on the gun issue when he ran for Virginia governor? The same Redpath who, as a member of the Libertarian "Reform" Caucus, succeeded in gutting the party platform at the 2006 national convention, thereby leading to two-plus years of turmoil the party can ill afford? The same Redpath who's been asleep as national chairman while Shane Cory and others on the national staff overstepped their bounds?
That Bill Redpath?
Tell you what. I'll donate $1,000 to the post-libertarian Libertarian Party.Then some national office flunky named Andrew Davis asked if I “showed up at the National Convention to vote for a new chairman?”10
But to ever see a dime of that money, you must strip Redpath of his party position, then expel, publicly repudiate, and blacklist him for life. In short, you must make an example of him, so everyone else gets the lesson drummed in. When a dog craps on your carpet, you don't applaud it. Instead, you smack it a couple of times, then rub its snout in the crap so that doesn't happen again.
Otherwise, we don't have a deal.9
