Libertarian Party: Open Letter to Muslim Republicans
Libertarian Party ^ | December 15, 2015 | Nicholas Sarwark

Dear Muslim Republicans,

I share your outrage and hurt at Donald Trump's recent comments and policy suggestions about Muslims. I share your outrage and hurt that he still is polling well among Republicans. I share your outrage and hurt that we should even have to discuss such matters. But obviously we do.

I have been to the website a few times but did not recognize the abbreviated address. Something does not set right with the story.

You’re probably going to start meeting less and less republicans now as well...to be replaced by more and more conservatives.

When I get home tonight, I’ll be following your actions, but I’m sending a nice letter stating *why* I was driven out.

I’m all for freedom of religion, but that doesn’t mean I put the blinders on when it comes to the theocracy known as Islam and Sharia.

Shame to see took an adherence to the Constitution and pushed it beyond logic and reason.

Regardless, the dirty little secret is that most Americans want nothing to do with freedom.

"Freedom" does not mean the same thing as "License."

"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, - in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, - in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, - in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

Libertarianism is the belief that the top step can exist without the bottom step, that an economic system can exist without a societal moral foundation underpinning it.

In other words, it is a short sighted delusion maintained by whinny brats who don't like being told "No."

In my experience, the vast majority of "Libertarians" are people who's only real concern is to legalize weed.

Dear “moderate” Muslims:

We have not the ability to read minds.

Therefore, there is no solution to the murders perpetrated by your co-religionists that does not include consequences that must accrue to ALL Muslims.

Sorry ‘bout that.

Libertarian Party has ALWAYS been for letting anyone into the country. They have long supported illegals.

Yes they are for open borders but to be fair they are also against all govt handouts, so immigrants must support themselves or starve.

This is why most (l)ibertarians usually vote Republican.

There's a cadre of crazy people at the TOP of the Libertarian Party...like the other parties they are out of touch.

In this particular statement, the LP seeks to reassure and comfort the adherents of a philosophy which is the antithesis of the one they pretend to hold.

Has anyone asked republican Muslims what they thought of Donald Trumps statement. The FULL statement. Not the sound bite.

I doubt any American Muslim is going to welcome the hordes of illiterate Somali, Syrian, and other ISIS infested countries’ muslim “refugees” in to their homes. I’d go so far as to say American Muslims have no problem controlling the border.

“Well, they just pushed me out.

Right now I register Libertarian most of the time and flip to Republican to attend caucuses and vote in the primary upon the very rare occasions they have a candidate like Trump that I want to support.

I’ve always known that most actual, dyed-in-the-wool Libertarians are nutty as fruitcakes, but this official Libertarian Muslim-love-fest, hate-Trump-fest email takes the cake for me. I’m gonna make my default registration Unaffiliated.”

I’m right there with you. I know members of the Libertarian party have a wide range of views and I have had heated discussions before. I actually think this is a good thing for people in a party to not always fall lockstep with each other. However, this pandering for the bigger tent from the top seals the deal for me.

Their morals are right up there with the dems. Of course a party without morals would welcome muslims and not protect women or any other religion. They are just to stupid to see that is will lead to the loss of their freedoms also.
