Now extend that thought a little further to Libertarians and Republicans. Are you having an "Aha!" moment yet?
Funny, that is exactly the type of intellectual arrogance I expect the minute I hear Mensas are involved. Actually that arrogance was what tipped me off in the first place. It reminds me of a church group I once visited a couple of times. They loved the fact that there were so few of them, that is what made them special. They are the spiritual Mensas or Libertarians of Christendom.
Christian, Libertarian, and Mensa? What are the odds?
It seems as if the anti-libertarians are the ones who make a big deal about the numbers. I've never met or heard of a libertarian who wouldn't welcome others gladly. In fact, many, many more people claim a libertarian outlook than are registered with the party.
Oddly enough, there are large amounts of people who claim that they's 'be' a Libertarian except for one or two items of the platform with which they do not totally agree. Yet, they are willing party members of larger parties with which they do not totally agree!
Some of you guys can get upset about legalizing marijuana but have no problem supporting a party that participated in treason with bill clinton and the impeachment trial. Go figure.
If we seem too elite for you, it isn't because we want to keep you out. I understand that the ideas of self-control, self-responsibilty, small government, and not using force or fraud on others are concepts that not everyone welcome. You are free to choose, just as you are free to choose to either be a government-reliant welfare recipient or a wage earner.
