Living, breathing fart jokes

In Libertarian on December 16, 2006 at 6:12 am

So a juvenile gay libertarian and the Galactic Emissary of Aescir walk into a bar…

Sometimes the best part of being a libertarian blogger is watching two living, breathing fart jokes go at each other in the comments section. Sucks that we’re the punchline, though.

  1. I’m not so sure Mike N. is far off here, to be honest. He goes a little too far most of the time, but sometimes you need that person.

  2. Some times the Fart Button is ‘inaction’……….

    1776 L I B E R T Y FLAG

    Library of Congress: “Fort Moultrie Flag, rectangular, a royal blue field with a
    crescent moon in the ‘north west’ quadrant & capitol block letters L I B E R T Y
    centered in the lower third of the body.

    In 1776, Colonel William Moultrie
    commanded the defenses of Charleston, South Carolina. He ordered and supervised
    the construction of a fortification on (then) ‘Sulivans Island’. This facility was
    located at the entrance of Charleston harbor and would later bear Colonel
    Moultrie’s name. Later yet, it would the site of the failed infantry charge by the all
    black Union Civil War Infanty Unit as depicted in the major motion picture ‘Glory’.

    During the American War of Independence, on June 28th, 1776, British Naval and
    Hessain ‘shock troop’ units attacked the fort. The primitive installation was mostly
    constructed of palmetto trees* and sand berms. The Royalist – Loyalist take over
    attempt ended in a crushing defeat which helped to keep the English out of South
    Carolina until 1780. Until General Washington’s December 1776 victories in New
    Jersey, this stubborn resistance was the high light of the colonial effort for
    independence.”

    *official flag emblem and state foliege of South Carolina….

    As some one who has helped and even managed the political efforts of Libertarians,
    and a citizen who has wide libertarian streaks in my social philosophy, I have
    admired some of the Libertarian Party symbolism for many years. Thomas Jefferson,
    the Statute of Liberty, and the Liberty Bell are all well known public domains.
    Jefferson has starred out over the Great Plains of South Dakota from Mount
    Rushmore for decades.

    With out fee, fine, penalty, or contract, all these public icons adorn Libertarian Party
    property. Just as Andy Jackson silently toils for the Democratic Party and ‘Honest
    Abe’ represents the GOP— Jefferson is an ubiquitous emblem for the Libertarians.

    But for decades I have also been bothered about the lack of an official Libertarian
    Party flag. As early as 1776 there exist yet one other free, no cost, public domain
    completely that is completely unexploited by the libertarian movement. The Fort
    Moultrie icon even has the word ‘Liberty’ prominently displayed. So much than the
    circle of stars or the ‘Don’t Tred On Me’ snake banner, the Fort Moultrie emblem
    is tailor made for the official LP flag.

    And here it is, over half a decade
    into the 21st Century and over 230 years since the historic battle for Fort
    Moultrie, and this lost opportunity for Libertarians local, state, and national, just stares back, unblinkingly, from the wall of
    American History. Could someone please explain this gross LP stupidity to me?
