Very long but very interesting points, also. I like the part about some people may agree with the LP on medicinal marijuana but not on legalizing heroin.
Frankly, there are a large number of people who actually agree with the libertarians but can't seem to vote for them given their lack of party strength. Unless you are a hopeless Democrat, how can you not approve of smaller government, lower taxes, the elimination of SS, the Constitution and the power of the individual.
Bush and the current batch of scumholes in Congress have continued to screw the American tax payer over the past few years. Yes, we got some tax cuts but you cannot increase entitlement, education and other non-defense spending while you are at it.
That was a good read.
I agree with many of his points. And lo and behold, here comes someone saying the libertarian party is full of dope smokers. lol
But yes, call them small 'l' libertarians, South Park conservatives, whatever, there is a schism developing in the R party of people who expected less government, not more. Medicare prescription plan anyone? No Child Left Behind? Give me a break.
The libertarians need to look at the big issue of shrinking the government, and not so much at the little issues, such as marijuana legalization etc. The little issues will work themselves out when the big one is working on its own. I mean, look at the clamoring of doing away with the income tax structure, and privitizing social security.
I am worried though that they really shot themselves in the foot with the War in Iraq though. I mean, they almost didn't let Neal Boortz speak at their convention because he agrees with it. They need to make sure they aren't taken over by peace loving hippies.
