Well at least one party is for transparacy in government...

[Bahbah]

I don't even want to think about it.

LOL! But Doc.......nude libertarians? Oh my!:)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

If there's freedom to own a nudist camp, then surely there's freedom to hold a fundraiser on that camp!

How much are they willing to pay? I know a few farmers who wouldn't mind renting out a field if the price is right and they clean up after themselves.

Time to start planting plenty of poison ivy and oak at Lake Edun...sort of as a 'naturist' repellant..ehehehe.

We'll be ok if no-one posts pictures.

Be the last time I ever let some Libertarian on any of these threads try to beat me down when I refer to them as "Libertarian/Libertines".

[justiceseeker93]

This type of situation unfortunately gives libertarians a bad name. No doubt that the large majority of folks who would call themselves libertarians in the US have no interest whatsover in attending political events at nudist camps. Those who do are better described as libertines.

Don't forget the extra large size African mosquitoes ... :)

I used to consider myself to be libertarian but I couldn't get past the everything goes attitude of some candidates.

Hodgkinson said the Libertarians needed to make money so they can compete and get people elected.

Insert bad joke here.

I wonder how the judge would feel if it were his own political party.

My wife's uncle and aunt, who had led a fairly sheltered existence in very conservative community their entire lives, took a trip to France in the late 1980s. By and by their tour took them to a beach where nudity was not only tolerated but celebrated. We were teasing her uncle about it and he said, "There wasn't anything pornographic about it at all. I've never seen so many ugly people in my life!"

Hodgkinson said the Libertarians needed to make money so they can compete and get people elected.

"We've got a chance to actually elect people, so am I frustrated? You bet!" he told the Topeka Capital-Journal.

The police were probably concerned that people would hurt themselves from laughing too hard.

Aw sh*t... we've got several nudist camps within 30 miles of here, and we don't have a moment's problem with any of them (or their patrons).

We sell lots of mosquito dope tho.....

While this is typical of the Libertarian idiocy, what is less funny is the Libertarian Reason magazine's (online) attempt to smear Michelle Malkin as driving some lesbian college president to suicide: Here

Come to think of it......men in those tight European speedo thingy's that they call bathing suits are much worse than "au natural", IMHO, of course. :)

Topics for discussion included property rights and freedom of assembly.

I guess the sheriff's action proves exactly the point the Libertarians are trying to make. They were making political speech, the most protected kind, on private property at the invitation of the owner.
