Prior to the last LP convention, whoever was running the social media pages was very big into the rainbow stuff. Over the past couple months tho, it looks as if Ron Paul was running the social media pages. It has generally been messaging that would be favorable to most people on Free Republic. Really hammering big government, being pro gun, and against fiscal irresponsibility.
I'm sure the current messaging has torqued off LPs that are run by the rainbow folks.
The libertarian party is one-issue, drugs. The democrats beat them on that already.
Fiscally Conservative.
Socially Liberal.
Personally, in over 40 years of watching the Libertarians, I can think of precious few occasions when they placed any importance at all on being Fiscally Conservative. They place massive emphasis on that Socially Liberal part.
And the Deep State? The fact that we now live under tyranny? Our oppressive government runs roughshod over all of our rights? Have the Libertarians noticed? It’s not at all clear to me that they do. But they love that gay stuff and the drugs. Whoo-Hoo! Let’s party!!
Frankly.....good. Anybody who is libertarian minded needs to take one look at what the corrupt federal agencies are doing and make his vote count by voting for the MAGA Republican candidate rather than wasting his vote on a Libertarian Party candidate who has no hope of winning.
Some libertarians object to stop signs. Others object to immigration controls. They can’t agree on how much government regulation is necessary. Personally, if I want to make a political statement and reject the Dems and the RINOs, I would vote for the Constitution or Patriot parties. The Libertarians lack coherence.
I had more than a few arguments with Harry Browne. He was the high water mark for that 🤡 clown show.
The Virginia ones leaving the party are mad because the new Mises Caucus that took over the party are now anti-woke. Doherty is part of the old-guard as well that never wanted to fight. The Mises Caucus have potential as allies at least on single issues.
“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”
Ronald Reagan
They’re upset because the more responsible libertarian Mises Caucus took over.
I am glad to the losertarian party imploding. They only help Democrats get elected anyway.
We need a Constitution Party as a sub-set of the various states’ Republican Parties. Ron Paul was an example. The 16th, and probably the 17th and 19th Amendments were mistakes. As far as the 19th, some family history; my grand mother was an ardent feminist. My mother’s high school year book (The Brecky) said she was going to dedicate her life to woman’s suffrage. In her eighties, she confided in me that she thought the 19th Amendment was a mistake.
“Libertarian Party Faces State Rebellions”
How can the Democrats win close elections if the Libertarians aren’t there to scoop up votes from Republican ‘Purists’?
Let’s get this straight - it’s LIBERALTARIANISM. These people are just Democrat/communists that are too embarrassed to admit what they are.
When a Republican loses a close race where the Liberaltarian takes a few points that, added to the Republican’s total could have meant victory, the uninitiated cry that the Liberaltarians gave the election to the Democrat/communists.
Not true.
The votes of the Liberaltarians are actually rodent votes and were NEVER on the table for Republicans.
The Liberaltarians are divas that enjoy the attention at America’s expense.
Maybe these two state parties are realizing that it is time to go home to the rodents - stay home - or vote to actually support the fight to save America.
