Libertarian TexMex: Recent Episodes
Cesar Aguirre
With the recent protests across the nation we look at the Libertarian Party platform and the Black Lives Matters platform on their respective websites and compare. Libertarians might not be too surprised to see the amount of overlap that exists, and perhaps where differences do exist, there is room for dialogue.
Libertarian Tex-Mex is back! Conversation on COVID-19 and economic realities and how each individual can find a path forward in this new reality.

As the political theater hits a fever pitch with the presidential impeachment trial, we look at some of the key issues and find focus on what should matter at the core of politics. How a third party or libertarian voter can proceed if being discouraged to vote how they want to.
So much to talk about this week, local politics, environmental activism, and the black hole gravity that is President Donald Trump. Enjoy!
Back with a gamut of topics regarding the behavior of the President and the Democrat national debates. Where are the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the parties?

Libertarian TexMex comes back from the holiday hiatus, discusses what’s going on in his life, libertarian fundamentals going into the new year, the border wall phenomenon, and the so called “government shutdown”. Oh, and crawfish season is upon is!

A quick podcast bite on the dangers of excess. Whether it’s déficit spending, over consumption of your favorite TexMex, or professional burn out. Understanding restraint and balance is key.

We discuss the polarizing views of the left and right, the dismissive attempts from the polar ends on moderates and middle road voters, and how the power to swing topics lie with moderates and middle of the road voters. Finding common topics can help us move from this “winner take all” “us versus them” mentality that is so common in the left-right spectrum.
Today we discuss the current topic of birthright citizenship as the President evokes reaction, the fundamental reason why libertarians promote open borders, realistic solutions to get us there, and how the birth of TexMex came in an undocumented way that gave Texas it’s identity.
