The LP went insane on the illegal immigration issue—very bizarre.
They didn’t go anywhere, it is what they are and always have been, drugs, abortion, hookers and trans and gay marriage and so on.
You might be shocked to learn that they will not take a position opposing pedophilia.
“”The fracas started with Mary J. Ruwart, the candidate with perhaps the deepest, purest libertarian roots (her rejection of government is so complete that some party moderates have begun warning of the anarchical dangers of “Ruwarchy”). In April, a rival called her out for her thoughts in a 1999 book called Short Answers to the Tough Questions. “Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it’s distasteful to us personally,” Ruwart wrote. “When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.”
That has been a part of the LP platform from the very beginning. I think strongly that it should be reconsidered.
