The Libertarian Opposition is Rising…
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” – Mark Twain Financially speaking, we are being told that things in the USA are good. Really good! Turn on CNBC or any news channel and the stock market is surging; the economy is “bouncing back.” The Fed is keeping rates fixed (or may be even LOWERING […]
I wrote the following poems between 2011 – 2014 while working at a corporate “desk job” for the behemoth insurance company, Liberty Mutual. There were probably a few hundred poems written during this short timeframe, but most have been lost (along with a good chunk of my sanity) and scattered to the winds of time. […]
By Sean Dempsey06/18/24 See the waving of our flag— Heroic flag!What a patriotic story of this gentle, simple rag.How it stiffens our resolve;For no problem it can’t solve!How it gushes and it rushes,For our soul it does enflame—A pure passion for The Cause:Our homeland’s gentle reign.Oh, what glorious, awesome mightOf our nation’s righteous fight!How it […]
It is a curious irony of the human condition that we often kill what we profess to cherish most — or, as it is said in Latin: “Occidimus quod nos fovere profitemur.” However, this irony may be lost on the Libertarian Party. The May 2024 nomination of Chase Oliver in Washington DC as the Libertarian […]
Author’s Note Dear Parent, Thank you for reading my book. I wrote this children’s story for my six year old daughter – as both a warning and a plea. I hope it may serve as a desperate search for light and sanity in dystopian times, fading more and more into darkness each day. The social […]

The Lost Path by Sean Dempsey The air, just breezy enough to be warm,Cast a spell on our walk, as sun trick’d through:No risks to be seen or signs to forewarn:Not but the trees and the brush in our view. And divine was it, our walk on the path;I still will attest, with every breath […]
The screams of children, young and dying—Tear the fabric of our world;Yet old men plead for bombs to fallOn Gaza’s boys and girls. “Their parents voted; the die’s been cast;Fathers’ sins sowed their fate;Their infants must be blown to bits;We must trade hate for hate!” A child of seven kneels before Mars;Her home’s reduced to […]
The Unbroken Circle Continues… Violence begets violence begets violence. Hate begets hate begets hate. We are all a victim of our berth in time and our place of birth. For one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist. Man falls victim again and again to his circumstance, perspective, and his lonely place in time. He […]
By Sean Dempsey, 6/5/24 For ol’ Truth, you ask, with misty eye?No, I’m afraid he’s gone today.Left out those doors and not seen since—Though I long begged him to stay. His words ignored, his children bored;Unloved, he took his leave;His songs unsung for many years,His proverbs not believed. Ah, but he left behind a note […]
