Justice and Fortitude

To bring some holiday cheer, the LP shares this article written by former Director of Communications George Getz:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - When Santa Claus comes to town this week, he’d better watch out — because the federal government may be making a list of his crimes (and checking it twice), the Libertarian Party warned today.
 
“Hark the […]

*sigh*
It’s times like these that make me scratch my head whenever someone claims that the government can do anything effectively (besides applying force).

A day later and a dollar short, the citizens of Indianapolis have been vindicated.
According to the indystar.com…
