d Ross Kaminsky, a self-described libertarian and radio talk show host who writes for the conservative American Spectator magazine, said he sometimes feels like he — a white man — is subject to racism because of the color of his own skin. “My parents weren’t here 400 years ago. My family arrived here way after the Civil War. We had nothing to do with it, and I think that a lot of people in the rest of America feel like we’re being blamed for things we didn’t cause.”
I found that nearly everyone feels they are “the rest of America,” the ones who get blamed when things go wrong. But there is no hope of bridging that divide unless we come out of our corners without insisting on guilt and blame.

As I mentioned yesterday, the Libertarian Party of Colorado sued the State of Colorado to get more time to petition candidates on to the ballots to replace two state senators who are facing recall elections.
It seemed to me that the Libertarians were likely to win because their argument was based squarely on the state constitution, even though a victory by them would through some chaos into the election, particularly by making it impossible to conduct a proper mail-in ballot election.
Yesterday, the judge in the case ruled for the Libertarians, meaning they will have until late August to try to submit enough valid signatures to have their candidates’ names appear on the ballot.
I am a strong supporter of the Libertarian Party, have been registered Libertarian in the past, and have probably voted for more Libertarians than Republicans over the past two decades.
However, given that John Morse, the horrendous president of the state senate who seems about to be recalled only won his last election because of the presence of a Libertarian candidate, I encourage all conservative, Libertarian, or simply rational voters in CO’s 11th Senate District to vote for the Republican candidate this time around.
Joing me on the radio at 7:45 AM Mountain Time (9:45 AM Eastern Time) on Wednesday morning on 630 KHOW in Denver will be Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gesslerto discuss the ramifications of the judge’s ruling.
