    I haven’t said you should take it down. I agree that it should stay.

    AW @ 5: Thank you for your input, but this article’s already up, and I don’t see any reason to take it down. I do my best to follow IPR guidelines, and will continue to do so in the future.

    It’s not about Roberts Rules. The question is why is this on IPR at all if she is not big L, nor pro- big L, nor addressing anything directly related to big L.

    It’s fine if you want to start posting videos and stories from anyone and everyone in the libertarian movement talking about anything and everything at any time – but if you are going to change IPR guidelines and subject matters then change them, don’t just start posting stuff that would normally not be considered relevant.

    Also, would this then apply to the other movements that are somewhat related to the other parties IPR covers?

    Jill–

    Thanks for posting.

    Both Julie and Cathy are doing the freedom movement a HUGE service by promoting our ideas and ideals in a fun and often humorous manner.

    Yes, I know they don’t have 987 detailed footnotes and probably never adhere to Roberts Rules, so the nay-sayers here no doubt will continue to belittle their efforts….

    I found both Julie’s and Cathy’s Youtube channels around the same time. I certainly do think that Cathy’s are more Libertarian and libertarian, but Julie’s have a degree of humore that I think is effective.

    I didn’t know about Julie’s call to take over the GOP. I’ll keep that in mind in the future.

    Why is this filed under the LP? It wasn’t long ago she made a video making the tired “We have to take over the GOP, the LP is a dead end” arguments.

    She does flap her jaw, and makes a lot of claims, but provides no substantion of anything she says. It’s a good proganda speil, but it’s not factual

    Domestic violence is not a fifty fifty problem, and the VAWA has contributed to the reduction in violence against women in domestic situations.

    And as far as the act being cover for federal funding to “liberal” organizations to elect more Democrats. Rubbish. No better than a Glen Back rant. The funding actually goes in to these sorts of programs

    I realize she is just trying to be hip and femme Howard Beale, but just because someone is on youtube doesn’t necessarily mean anything they say based in reality.
