Rand Paul: People Are Calling For A “Libertarian Moment”

http://libertycrier.com/rand-paul-people-calling-libertarian-moment/

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) explains that the good people of the U.S. are calling out for a "libertarian moment."

His comments came during an address to the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas at the Texas GOP convention here. Liberty, he said, “infuses traditional conservatism with the excitement, the energy, the outreach that we need.” Libertarian views and traditional conservative values complement each other, Paul added.

“The interesting thing about it is, as I go around the country, no matter who I talk to, whether it’s the establishment — the wealthy who support our party sometimes — or the poor, people say it’s time, time for this libertarian moment, this liberty moment,” he said. “It’s no longer something that scares people, it’s what [makes] people say, we can’t run the same-old same-old, we’re not going to win with the same-old, same-old.”

He was speaking to a Republican Liberty Caucus group in Texas, where he talked about his outreach plans for non-traditional Republican types.


He called for reforming the criminal justice system so it doesn’t disproportionately hit minorities and poor people; school choice; and promoting policies that help economic development in poorer areas.

“You have to show up, you have to show you care, people have to believe that you care and then we’ll win, be the dominant party,” he said. “In Texas you are, but we’re not nationally.”

Whole thing.

He's right that a GOP that becomes libertarian—more socially tolerant and inclusive and actually dedicated to limiting the size, scope, and spending of government—could become the dominant party nationally. It would also be a radically different Republican Party (and a better one).

We've written a thing or two about the Libertarian Moment here at Reason over the years. Though all signs are pointing to a Libertarian Era, amirite?

Another way of talking about this is to say, Libertarianism 3.0, you're ready for your closeup!

Indian, Chinese Central Banks on track to absorb 90% of Gold mine output -
Jun 10, 2014 06:35 GMT Source:Scrap Register
INDIA June 10 2014 10:35 AM
MUMBAI (Scrap Register):

Indian and Chinese central banks on track
to absorb the equivalent of 90% of all mined gold production this
year, said ETF Securities in its Precious Metal Weekly.

China, India and central banks absorbed just over 80% of global
mine supply in 2 013 according to recent data.

Recent data indicates that these three entities alone are likely to
absorb the equivalent of nearly 90% of mine production in
2014 said ETF Securities.

Demand from India is likely to increase with
the curtailing of the 2013 import restrictions.


Central banks purchased 122 tons of gold in Q1 which is essentially
unchanged year-on-year and China’s imports of gold from Hong Kong
are up 18% year-on-year as of April .

On a similar note, sales of US mint silver coins are on pace in
2014 to surpass the record 35 million ounces sold in 2013.

The US mint must purchase its silver from US sources and the amount
of silver mined in the US in 2013 was only 35 million ounces.

Most of the demand for silver is for industrial purposes and
inventories are the lowest in decades - the majority in ETFs.

E.g.,
Russia of the the world biggest oil producer -
will buy more GOLD 2014 than before is note even incl. in the
above demand - not the rest of the world eder -
