The Nuts and Bolts of Muffing It

Ken’s guest was swallowed by a crack in the schedule, so instead the topic du jour is a nuts-and-bolts primer for those who want to become involved in politics without muffing it.  Topics range from initial contact to strange bedfellows to making your own news, replete with press releases, dealing with the cops, and living with yourself afterwards.  Listeners question how Libertarians deal with sinister, inane gun reporting, and suffering under self-imposed condo restrictions.

What “sticks in Ken’s craw” this week?  The two old parties stealing Libertarian ideas

Guest Toastmaster Narrator and Cohort: Dodie Preston of Cerner Toastmasters in Malvern PA

Found in this episode:

What’s in the Mail Bag?  

• Why does the national media portray gun owners as sinister and inane – and what you can do about it.
• The University of Chicago, Northeastern University and the CDC all agree the MSM gun rhetoric is all wrong.
• What have we done to ourselves?  Condo agreements on the loose!

How to Become a Force for Freedom – Without Muffing It   

• How to transition from being a voice in the wilderness to becoming a political force to be reckoned with
• The three basic concepts: Know your Enemy, Know Your Friends, and Know Yourself
• Your enemy as friend, friends becoming enemies, and strange bedfellows.
• Make your own news?  How to reach reporters, clue the cops, corral a crowd, and attract attention all around.

What Sticks in Ken’s Craw?  The Two Old Parties Stealing Libertarian Ideas

• Political thievery!  From cannabis to homeschooling to helmet laws to microbreweries to slavery, examples of intellectual theft abound.
• Personal political thievery!  A flip-flopping governor quotes directly from Ken’s gubernatorial playbook for dealing with the insane War on Drugs – using the chronically-ignored Pennsylvania Constitution, of all things.
• Finally retiring Ken’s 20-year-old signature soundbite about the Grateful Dead
• The sweet, sweet taste (and smell) of political victory!.

Moore Elected Libertarians

Ken’s guest is Jennifer Moore, Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania and the elected auditor of Upper Providence township, discussing the challenges she faced in her court-contested election, and how she helped orchestrate the upcoming uncontested elections of dozens more Libertarians. The listener-submitted questions include DUI checkpoints and liquor store privatization.

What “sticks in Ken’s craw” this week?  Pennsylvania’s self-manufactured troubles

Guest Cohort and Toastmaster Narrator: Ariel Kamen of the Drexel University Toastmasters

Found in this episode:

What’s in the Mail Bag? 

• Three DUI checkpoints in Montgomery Township?  Not the most efficient, not the cheapest, and definitely not constitutional
• Hauling away in irons people who are not drunk – and the cops know it!
• Why privatize liquor stores?  Certainly they should close early, be closed on holidays, refuse to carry random brands, and make it a crime to shop in other states.  NOT!
• The relic known as the Johnstown Flood Tax on alcohol purchases: 80+ years after the flood and the rebuilding are a dim memory, yet it lingers on and on.

A Conversation with Jennifer Moore  

• The basics of Pennsylvania’s third-largest political party
• How to withstand a court challenge to getting on the ballot
• How to win dozens of elections for the Libertarian Party
• The annoying powers of an elected Pennsylvania auditor

What Sticks in Ken’s Craw?  Pennsylvania’s self-manufactured troubles

• A long laundry list of lousy legislation, including out-of-control spending, racist courts vilified law-abiding gun owners, the opioid crisis, over-militarized police, second-class citizenships, rigged elections, the trashed Pennsylvania constitution, and more, sad to say.
• What’s the solution?  Stop voting for the perpetrators: The two old parties.
