Here's a couple of good sentences on the subject, from our leader:
Free Republic is a place for people to discuss our common goals regarding the restoration of our constitutionally limited republican form of government. If people have other agendas for FR, I really wish they would take them elsewhere.
Thanks, Jim

Thus, as I see it, the best course of action to right these wrongs is to continue removing the liberals, socialists and leftists from our government as fast as we can. Eliminating the liberal influence automatically raises the level of conservatism in our government and its institutions.
We eliminate them by replacing them with non Democrats. This means, for the most part, supporting and voting for the Republican candidate in each race whether it be federal, state or local.
The Libertarians, Reformers, and other third parties know they cannot win national races. They do a great job writing, debating, and fighting for our constitutional rights, but they are not effective enough to win races. God bless them, they do not have and never will have the numbers necessary to win.

As other articles note, contempt for irrational laws and more conservative youth are on the upswing. Seems to me those bode well for a stronger Libertarian party. Whether that means a future second party or not, we shall see. Just because things have always been thus does not mean they will remain so.
But all things come to those who wait.
I find it fascinating that there is such an outpouring of contempt for Libertarians on FreeRepublic (witness the next article). I'm not sure why. I feel like a Republican at Paul Wellstone's funeral on here sometimes.
