</font><div class="field-content">

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Bob Barr was born in Iowa City, Iowa in 1948, but spent his childhood living in a number of countries around the world. He initially joined the College Democrats while a student at the University of Southern California, but was persuaded by his parents to join the Republican Party. Barr attended graduate and law school in Washington D.C. and worked as a CIA analyst before becoming active in Republican politics. In 1986, Barr was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia by President Ronald Reagan. Barr was first elected to office in 1994 as a Congressman for Georgia’s 7th district. Barr left the House after succumbing to a primary challenger, John Linder, in 2002. While known as a Social Conservative in Congress, Barr joined the Libertarian Party in 2006 and ran for president on the party’s ticket in 2008.</font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Controversial Actions and Statements:</font></p>

</div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In a January 23, 2012 op-ed for <i>Townhall</i>, Barr wrote, “Today’s young youth are more narcissistic than ever … Of course, they are not completely to blame. Parents and adults share responsibility for creating this monster. For decades, parents were told by so-called parenting ‘experts’ that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer. Now, trophies are awarded to every child on the team or in the class so no child’s self-esteem is bruised by virtue of being ‘left out;’ letter grades from ‘A’ to ‘F’ give way to vague and slippery narratives. We encourage every teenager to pursue their passion in college—something to which they are ‘entitled’—regardless of the marketable value of the skills they gain after many tens of thousands of dollars spent on that education … It is this delusion of entitlement that served as the catalyst for the recent ‘Occupy’ movement.”</font></p>

</div>

<span class="views-field-phpcode"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> <span class="field-content">Labor</span></font></span></div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In a November 12, 2012 op-ed for the <i>Marietta Daily Journal</i>, Barr wrote, “Had Reagan faced President Barack Obama on Nov. 6, he almost certainly would have won. For virtually every element accounting for [Republican presidential candidate Mitt] Romney’s failure to connect with a majority of voters last week, Reagan’s genuineness, good humor, vision and optimism would have carried the day for the GOP. Fielding such a candidate to represent the Party in 2016 will greatly increase—not decrease—the chances that the 45th President of the United States will be a Republican. And fortunately for the GOP, there are a number of such potential candidates in its farm team—young Ronald Reagans ready to lead the country to a new Morning in America.”</font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an October 28, 2012 op-ed for the <i>Marietta Daily Journal</i>, Barr <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney</span> and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan in the November 2012 election, stating, “The inescapable and overriding importance of re-charting America’s course away from the Big Government Liberalism of the current administration has prompted me to support the GOP ticket of Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan. The stakes are simply too high to admit any degree of hesitancy in this regard. The decision I have reached, and in which I ask other libertarian-leaning and conservative-oriented voters to join, is not one based on a serendipitous view that Romney is the perfect candidate … He is not [the perfect candidate] … We cannot afford a search for perfection. We cannot afford to withhold votes from a candidate we perceive to be imperfect. What we do know beyond any doubt, is that the current course on which our nation already is well-embarked is not sustainable.”</font></p>

</div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In a July 9, 2012 <b>op-ed for the <i>Daily Caller</i>,</b> Barr wrote about a January 2012 report issued by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) entitled “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970 to 2008.” Barr claimed that the report provides “an insidious analysis of Americans who happen to hold certain philosophical or political views,” stating, “Americans who ‘believe that one’s personal and/or national way of life is under attack’ or who are <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">‘nationalists, anti-global, [or] suspicious of centralized federal authority, [and] reverent of individual liberty,’ are painted in a negative light</span><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">.”</span> He complained, “And though the report is meant to document acts of terrorism inside the United States, there is only a passing mention of 9/11 and Islamic extremism … It is deeply disturbing that the executive branch of our federal government continues to demonize and delegitimize political beliefs, particularly those challenging the ‘conventional wisdom’ or the status quo. It is even more distressing that neither the U.S. House of Representatives nor the Senate has moved to put a stop to such efforts, which they could if their members possessed the understanding and the backbone to do so.” START asserts that the report qualifies individuals and groups as terrorists because they have actually carried out or attempted to carry out violent attacks in the United States, not based on their ideological orientation. The report breaks violent perpetrators into ideological categories, including extreme left-wing, extreme right-wing, religious, ethnonationalist/separatist, and single issue. START asserts that “<a href="http://www.start.umd.edu/start/announcements/announcement.asp?id=369" target="blank">descriptions of these categories in the report do not suggest that an individual or group with one or more of these characteristics is likely to be a terrorist</a>.”</font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In a June 28, 2012 op-ed for the <i>Daily Caller</i>, Barr wrote about a Supreme Court <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-393c3a2.pdf" target="blank">decision</a> issued that morning which upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Barr stated, “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/28/a-devastating-decision/" target="blank">By upholding Obamacare, the Supreme Court—a court nominally ‘conservative’ and supposedly ‘non-activist’—has driven the final nail into the coffin of limited government … Tragically, this foundation of sand on which [Chief Justice John] Roberts and his majority colleagues based their decision now takes on enhanced power as a basis on which the government will be able to seize freedom from the people … [2012 Republican presidential candidate] Mitt Romney has commendably asserted that if elected, his first priority will be to repeal Obamacare. Unfortunately, unless he simply declares that he will not enforce the laws of the land—as President Obama likes to do—it will be neither that simple nor that quick. Obamacare is now the law of the land and it has the Supreme Court’s seal of approval to back it up.The damage truly has been done, and we will not soon—or perhaps ever—undo it.

Barr stated, “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/28/dc-school-decides-trayvon-martin-case-trumps-abcs/" target="blank">Much like the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll’s fable, Alice in Wonderland, many would just as soon sentence Zimmerman first and try him later, if at all</a>.” Barr also criticized the Florida prosecutor, Angela Corey, who brought charges against Zimmerman, stating that she “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/28/dc-school-decides-trayvon-martin-case-trumps-abcs/" target="blank">based her decision on some of the flimsiest evidence and legal analysis I have ever seen</a>.” The “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/28/dc-school-decides-trayvon-martin-case-trumps-abcs/" target="blank">latest absurd development</a>,” wrote Barr, occurred at Malcom X Elementary School in the District of Columbia which hosted “Trayvon Martin Day.” He referred to the program as dealing with “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/28/dc-school-decides-trayvon-martin-case-trumps-abcs/" target="blank">some manufactured problem about an already highly politicized legal case in Florida … Perhaps the program honoring Trayvon Martin was accompanied by a chorus of ‘Kumbaya’ to help foster a ‘happy spirit</a>.’”</font></p>

Barr also added, “<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/26/taxpayers-foot-bill-for-lazy-students/" target="_blank">The debate over the extent to which schools should be forced to care for mentally or physically disabled students is a legitimate debate.

Many of the agency’s problems are exacerbated by a highly unionized labor force that accounts for some 80% of its budget. Private delivery services, including UPS and FedEx, on the other hand, have labor costs that are substantially lower. The GAO has recommended that Congress eliminate ‘layoff protections’ in the collective bargaining agreements between the USPS and labor unions. The postal union, true to form, will hear no such blasphemy</a>.”</font></p>
