Exteme Right Wing: Lies on ‘Frivolous Lawsuits’ to Justify Jury Award Caps. Facepalm Award

…right-wing extremists are pushing  jury award caps citing false stories such as these…and even claiming this is a ‘libertarian’ position…In contrast, many complain that jury awards are cut massively by appeals courts in cahoots with crony capitalists… Amusing article questions the nonsense and shows why we need more open info, not less as right-wingers would claim: http://www.cracked.com/article_19150_6-famous-frivolous-lawsuit-stories-that-are-total-b.s..html Highlight: A website dedicated to scare-stories of runaway awards admits the story it was named after–a coffee spill incident – when seen as a whole has a very different interpretation…

Saul Alinski’s Rules

How To Network If The Internet Shuts Down

 

…and you wonder why LIO still uses old-fashioned mail, phone-trees/round-robins,  and couriers…these are, however, the techniques passed on in the Mid-East by Libs that foiled attempts to shut down the internet…dot-dot-dot-dash….http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2012/05/22/communicate-govt-shuts-internet-136801/

LAW SWITCHEROO? SEE HOW THEY SELL US ANTI-VOTER ‘VOTER ID’ -Just look at your old voter ID. This Month’s Libertarian Facepalm Award.

Libertarian-Liberal Facepalm Award

From Free and easy Voter Identification to Voter INFORMATION cards then claims that we need new, expensive, hard to obtain State ID? It’s happening all over the US…

In the US recently  laws to have people show expensive state ID’s to vote–so purging the voter rolls of students, the elderly, frequent movers, ’by mistake’ those in smaller parties,  the poor, unhappy Hispanic and other immigrants caught in inaccurate federal immigration status lists, and others of those who tend to vote against the fanatic extreme hard right–are being justified on the basis that the automatic free voter cards are just ‘voter information cards’…BUT if one looks at one’s old voter card, in previous years the cards were called VOTER IDENTIFICATION as often seen at the top…and were provided free after personal and address verification…

This is an example of ‘salami slicing’ where

‘Hard Tools, Fluid Action’–Activists Discover Libertarian ‘Un’-Organization

…Pareto blamed. And this is why the bad hats keep trying to mess up platforms and bias the group towards parliamentary paralysis, or claim Libertarianism is exclusively about electoral politics, or create false choices between purity vs. practice, individuals vs. community, etc. MG has seen that all you need is at http://www.libertarianbookclub.org and here, of course.

Your Lib Consumer Union: The Web! 5 Ways It Helped You Stamp Out Idiocy in 2011

In the mid-70′s LIO Libertarians fought a trial-balloon US government plan to impose one big computer. Now millions enjoy the result, including as rapidly self-organizing consumers in virtual unions and insta-campaigns…for both better private AND public services…Here’re 5 from 2011:

1. The Mid-East Revolutions (see OPERATION DEMOCRACY @ http://www.LibertarianInternational.org for the decades-long  set up to end last dictaors by networking for peaceful change).
