"Show me chapter and verse where the Constitution says all fringed ideologues have a right to be heard."
The constitution was not the salient point in my post.
My point was that libertarians stand for individual liberties protected from the group (mob rule), or more aptly, the government. This government has built in a system that is now constructed to support the 2 party system and exclude potential 3rd parties. This is very much in the spirit of libertarianism to give the little guy a voice against the powers that would exclude him.

Nonsense. The mere fact that the Libertarian Party is present on the ballots in 48 states certainly undercuts your hyperbolic statement that the government exludes potential (or even viable) 3rd parties.
People are well able to see the shabby political product sitting on the LP shelf and choose, in a freewill choice freely made, to walk away from it. Any other explanation or rationalization is sour grapes.
