Harping. I don't know. The paranoid rantings of every single Libertarian I know relates to legalizing drugs and the paranoia of the conspiracy that the Muslims didn't attack, George Bush and the US Government were behind 9/11.

That's a pretty crack-pot bunch in anyone’s book.

I'm sick and tired of this BS, the war criminal crap that occurred at CPAC, the anti-war movement, and the endless harping by the fringe of society that has all attached itself to Ron Paul and the cult of personality.

Too much is too much.

I see by your profile that you claim Kentucky as your home, BP.

The LP of Kentucky is looking to register all of 5000 Libertarian voters, out of, what, 5 million or so? That's not even a hair on an elephant's rump.

I can say with some degree of certainty that there are well over 5000 (small-"l") libertarians in your state, and with nearly 100% certainty that you don't know half of them, or even 10%. And if the polls I've seen are anywhere close, many more Americans are "truthers" than you'd want to think. I don't happen to go along with that fantasy; however, when you have more and more revelations each and every year of government malfeasance and subsequent cover-ups, it's entirely understandable that a portion of the population goes off the deep end into conspiracy land.

Republicans are just as susceptible in their own way (e.g., 0bama is a Muslim; a new Caliphate to control the Whole World; the Trans-Texas Highway and the Amero) but we can agree, I hope, that irrational explanations for world events is not limited to any one party, nor to just this country. (I'd hate to think what the anti-Mubarak demonstrators might conjecture about our government's role in keeping that despot in power all this time. Wikileaks to the rescue!)

You need to get out more. You have a very narrow experience, it seems.
