Can you support this with a reference? Or do you just make up any story to fit your fantasy?

"Invade and take over" are the words used by Mr. Babiarz. I'm merely borrowing them, and am not overly concerned with the accuracy of the terms.

But "invade and take over" are actually a pretty good description of what the FSP is all about.

The "reference" you need is FSP itself -- move a bunch of folks to a small state ("invasion"), and then elect enough LPers and fellow-travelers to turn the state into a LP paradise ("take over").

The FSP is certainly a fantasy. My only point is that Mr. Babiarz is denying the fact of what the FSP is really all about.

I personally find the entire FSP to be a sad joke.

Well, maybe. It's possible that, if they cluster in only a couple of districts, they could elect a couple of people to something more than city dog-polisher. It's even possible that those folks could be somewhat effective -- but I think they'd mostly be relegated to Ron Paul status.

The fact that a few Libertarians have bought into it, only says that the LP also has its kook fringe.

And that's really saying something.....

"Invade and take over"

In my reply #63, I did not quote you on your use, or anyone else's use of the words "invade and take over." Nor did I say anything about those words or their meaning. I have no opinion on this figure of speech that seems to have varying interpretations, and varying degrees of accuracy. I say "seems" because I really don't have any thoughts on the topic.

What I did quote you on, and I quote again:

Well, the plain fact is that the LP is organizing and effort aimed at gaining majority political influence in a small state. Its strategy is to get "their people" to move into said state, for that express purpose.(from your reply #27)

...but in fact the LP is trying...(from your reply #40)

Note: the quotes from you do contain the words "invade and take over." What the two quotes from you have in common is that they both state that "LP" is trying or is organizing such and such. As I asked in reply #63, I ask again now:
