A very interesting and enlightened blog

A good friend publishes a daily blog that is refreshing and thought provoking. Peter is a retired financial consultant and a recovering politician. He grew up on a small farm in southern Oregon and graduated from Harvard University. Most of his posts elicit some very thoughtful comments and discussion. It’s definitely not an echo chamber. He is quick to point out faults that might spell trouble for the Democratic Party.

We have a large surplus of libertarian thinkers. Far more than we need, it seems to me. I think your friend is off base far enough that he could easily be tagged out by a decent first baseman.

I'm not buying what he is selling.
