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

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....

Wait. I thought Libertarians approved as long as nobody else was harmed. If it wasn’t harmful and nobody was coerced into dancing nekkid, why should Libertarians object?

Please. I beg you. Do not post a photo of this naked Weeks guy.

I'm already sick from the GI's since Saturday. I would just wretch more into the toilet.

Thanks ahead of time for your understanding.

His “dance” did not make me think of ‘the powers that be in American Politics’. He had people thinking Trump or Hillary hired him to do this and embarrass the Libertarians. I don’t think Rand or Ron Paul would care for the performance at all.

Nice to see that Howell, Michigan is just as weird now as it was when I lived in the Wolverine State.

Wow. I thought the guy was a real high point, for the party.

A step up from recent LP candidate for the Presidency Harry Browne, who blamed America for 9-11-2001.

And Gary Johnson, with his policies

—Abortion on demand
—Open borders
—Huge cut in military
—Same sex marriage support
—Legalize most drugs
—Oppose death penalty

Why do any thinking “conservatives” pay a minute of attention to the LP anymore? It might have had an appeal in the past, but not much since

"Wait. I thought Libertarians approved as long as nobody else was harmed."

Everyone who saw that live or the video of the striptease was harmed. What has been seen cannot be unseen....
