> Ten years back I had a dream.....I got involved with the party, and met some of the biggest jackasses and fruitloops on earth.

Same experience here. What a disappointment.

Still, LRC founder Milsted, when I talked to him Sunday afternoon, was still disillusioned enough by the convention floor's unwillingness to get rid of the LP's controversial pledge (whose language about refusing to initiate force, in Milsted's mind, locks the LP into practically anarchistic irrelevance by making it opposed to all forms of taxation) that he was still set on walking away from the party. By Monday, he had changed his mind and was willing to stay the course with the LP.

What a wimp. Dump the stupid pledge!

As such, the party currently appeals only to a tiny fraction of the voting public

Word up.

They might has well just stop pretending they aren't Democrats because they are really nothing more than cultural marxists.

As if the social conservatives wouldn't use the media, education and entertainment industries to shove a specific ideological agenda down the throats of America if given the chance? Leftists and social conservatives have more in common than they realize.

I am not a "conservative" and never said I was...

Are all cultures equal? Hell no...

Only a cultural Marxist would think so.

Some just have an ax to grind with the Christians and the Jews... I do not. In fact, I have very little problem with the Hindu or the Buddhist (I have practiced the martial arts all my life, which is really a form of Buddhist movement meditation).

I think that a greater number of the people who bash the religious folks here are leftist trolls whose only purpose is to undermine the Republican party. I say this as an unapologetic atheist. I know how the leftist subterfuge works and the one thing they really hate, just like the Islamists do, is Mosaic Law...

Of course, what a lot of the leftists and misguided, myopic liberal-tarians don't want to admit is that Christianity (and they do hate Christians) is just their politically correct proxy for their war against Jews and what is written in the book of Genesis.

Some of them are so myopic and have such a need to do anything contrary to the Christians that what they forget in their own blind, raging ignorance is that Moses wasn't a Christian (this is just one way I spot them).

Cultural Marxism has a goal to feminize males, making them docile and compliant: marijuana is a chemical warfare agent. Homosexual monogamy is a psychological and biological warfare tactic.

No man may become a law unto himself under the guise of freedom of religion...

Some of these liberal-tarians forget, it is THEY who advocate “separation of church and state.” Let me cram it right back down their throats...

It was landmark U.S. Supreme Court precedent Reynolds v. United States in 1878 that made “separation of church and state” a dubiously legitimate point of case law, but more importantly; it confirmed the Constitutionality in statutory regulation of marriage practices.

Now, it ain't so palatable to them, is it? They are the ones here bashing the religious folks, now they want to claim some mercurial, ever changing definition of freedom of religion? I'm not going to live in their hell...

P.S.

Some of the Bozos out there can't get past that word “God,” so they would just piss the entire country away and join the enemies of America; all because they have this polemic need to bash the Christians and do everything in contravention to them.

I say screw them and the filthy practices they want to live by. My children are not going to inherit their squalor if I can help it.

That's how it was in the 40s-80s. Even the Newt era. But they've been viciously purged by the neocons now. Just read NRO or TWS or watch FOX. "Libertarian" is the worst epithet now. But, communist Chris Hitchens gets great respect.

Yes, the RP has moved so far to the left it has become a wing of the DP. The purging of libertarians from the RP swings the balance of power to the socialists. If libertarians don't vote for Republicans, Republicans can't win.

Having watched the last 15 years of Republicans in Congress, the last six in control of Congress and the WH, and finally the intolerance, namecalling, and outright bigotry of this thread, has convinced me once and for all that I'm not interested in ever seeing another Republican win any office anywhere.

Since the Republican Party obviously does not agree with my fiscal conservatism and my Laissez Faire attitude toward social issues, a third party vote is the only choice.

They sure ran me off!
I was a Republican voter for over 40 years. I'll never vote Republican again.

Did you read Willamette Week today? They had a front page report about Oregon changing to a Red State.
