Libertarian Stripper Banned From Party
Livingston Daily ^ | 06/13/2016 | Wayne Peal

Posted on 06/13/2016 9:36:20 AM PDT by Cyberman

The Howell man whose impromptu strip tease last month at the Libertarian Party's national convention made headlines across the U.S. has been suspended from the party.

James Weeks II announced Sunday evening that Libertarian Executive Committee officials approved his suspension earlier in the day because of his actions.

Weeks, chairman of the party's Livingston County branch and an announced party candidate for county sheriff, said "the reasoning behind this suspension is their disapproval of my use of free expression in lieu of a speech during my run for Libertarian Party chair at the national convention."

Weeks has maintained his dance was a statement protesting the powers that be in American politics....

Maybe you meant to be sarcastic but that’s a really weak answer. For years, we listened to how the Libertarians were the only consistent party because they had a defined rule for every situation. If nobody was harmed or coerced, it was okay.

Prostitution was okay.
Abortion was okay (as long as nobody asks the fetus if they are harmed).
Doing illegal drugs was okay.

So you need a far stronger reason that this idiot’s lewd dance was not “okay” by Libertarian standards.

Klatu was the Alien played by Michael Rennie in The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Gort was the Robot in the same Movie.

Klatu Barrada Nikto...

That’s Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet in the GIF.

By running Gary Johnson—a moderate Republican- they lost their whole consistency thing. Johnson is running as some sort of social liberal/fiscal conservative politician. However, he should be pressed on pure libertarian principles and party platform—which is an anathema to the Left—like abolishing public schools, rolling back the New Deal, repealing the 64 Civil Rights act etc. LOL

This year, pushing him in pure libertarian principles would help rather than hurt him — voters want someone who will flip over the tables and shake up the system.

"Maybe you meant to be sarcastic but that’s a really weak answer."

Yes, I was joking. However, though everything may be permissible as long as no one was harmed per their doctrine as you state it there is such a thing as decorum. If you want to be taken seriously as a political party, you probably should not have fat white guys stripping at your convention. I can see why they want to ban him from the party. He's made them a laughingstock...

Realized my mistake after posting. We need an “Edit” option. :-)
