This Saturday is Sept. 11, the third anniversary of, well, Sept. 11. A political organization holding a meeting that day urges its members to show up "wearing some clothing article colored black to mourn the deaths of the thousands of people who have died as a result of U.S. government policies."
That's right, this outfit thinks the anniversary of an attack on America is an appropriate day for a Blame America First-fest. Ah well, we've come to expect such things from moonbat Muslims and commie peaceniks. There's no point in getting upset.
Only this group of ideological extremists consists neither of Islamists nor commies. It's the Libertarian Party and its "presidential candidate," Michael Badnarik. They are, of course, perfectly entitled to exercise their right to freedom of speech. But really, what a bunch of sickos.

I used to fancy myself a liberatrian, but "no mas, amigo!"
Losertarians.
How long will it take their meeting to bring up history's real tragedy...the War on Drugs??!!!
I still do, but thanks to the whackjobs running the LP I must constantly emphasize the lack of capitalization.
Well, there is nothing wrong with being a libertarian. There is, however, something very wrong with being a member of the "Libertarian" Party.
"I used to fancy myself a liberatrian, but "no mas, amigo!"
Same here. I'm just glad that the libertarians I liked in the first place, Neal Boortz and Larry Elder, are on our side...
It's scheduled right after their first snack break of Slim Jims and Ho Hos
LOL. Or a dyslexic librarian.
These guys are not true libertarians. That is, if they truly supported liberty, they would support the war on Islamic terrorism because they would understand that the greatest threat to liberty today is radical Islam. Those killed by Islamists have no liberty, and neither will the living if we go soft on radical Islam.
Islamists' stated goal is complete world domination, the unification of all nations under a totalitarian Islamic theocracy.
The reason libertarians don't support the war on terrorism is that the same arrogrance, short-sightedness, and pseudo-intellectual bed-wetting that has invaded the Democratic Party has also taken control of the Libertarian Party.
I am a libertarian. And I am certainly not a Libertarian. The party has gone to pot. Literally.
I'm a Drew Carey Libertarian.
Sadly though, if you look at www.Cato.org on the terror war, there are some small l's that aren't completely reality based. I say this after years of absolutely swearing by Cato's positions.
I thought one of the legitimate libertarian approved functions of government was homeland security. Not for this crew. Buh-bye.
Oh, the HUMANITY!!!
I use to be a libertarian. This kind of nonsense isn't going to bring me back, that's for sure. As long as there are infidels in the world the true Islamic believers are going to try and kill or convert them. The one's who say they are Moslem but don't kill for Allah are not following the tenants of their evil religion.
Yeah, if we only allowed heroin to be sold in kindergarden, all would be well with the republic. Sorry guys, ya lost me.
For a noble moment it seemed to have some promise. But the last year they just seemed to become liberals again. I can barely read them any more. Seems like they went back to being liberals all the way. The only good stuff these days is the good stuff. Conservatism. There is just nothing else out there right now. You don't attack your country when your country is being attacked. I guess the war destroyed the libertarian movement.
