The Libertarians campaign on the Constitution, which spans the left and right agendas, meaning they could only get a small piece of the pie of each side.
Bobo: Never minding the fact that the Public at large has not read the Constitution, the Federalist/Anti-federalist papers, or even have a poor grasp of history, libertarianism will remain at the fringes of society. Without a major upheaval in this present world, liberty will continue to diminish until "1984" is a reality.
Ah! to have read and understand what the founding father's would have done. I pray that someday we can develop such a backbone as they had.
Blessings, Bobo

My wife and I are now working out the logistics of homeschooling our kids. One thing they will learn is all the above, and learn it by heart. Since they're dual German citizenship they'll also learn the Grundgesetz, but hopefully they'll see how much better ours is.
BTW, anyone in NC who homeschools and can give advice, please FReepmail.

Libertarian mythology notwithstanding our founding fathers were as far from Libertarianism as you can get. NONE of them could truthfully be called Libertarians not even Jefferson.
Nor is it true that there is anything in the Constitution which could be called Libertarian.
