OK, I voted Libertarian in the last congressional election. Still it's funny how many Libertarians come to FR seeking validation; instead they just get the "smurf" kicked out of 'em.
No, a group of well known statist trolls ambush threads, start flamewars and attempt to get the threads move off the main page.
And then there were the ideological purges here, that led to most of the best leaving.
Might wanna check on the alleged goal of the site, btw... you'd find the trolls don't agree with the goal in their deeds and words (easily verifiable... pick a troll and do search, and find out if their positions agree with the Founder's intent of the Constitution or Ted Kennedys) , while we do.
Hello....many of us have been here for quite some time and find there are fellow travellers amongst the republicans.
Interesting within congress there exists the Liberty Committee, made up of Libertarian Republicans who espouse legislative goals like:
1. Stop Terrorism Before it Starts
2. Stop Identity Theft, No National ID
3. Restore Workers' Freedom, Right to Work
4. Restore States' Rights, Second & Tenth Amend.
5. Restore Enumerated Powers
6. Repeal Tax Hike on Social Security Benefits
7. Repeal Tax Entirely on Social Security Benefits
8. End the Income Tax, Restore Liberty.
I must be mistaken, these are obviously no longer Republican goals....Yeah, you guys must be right....this is fodder for the custom fit tinfoil hat crowd.
