The LP of today are social Marxists. They believe in doing everything and anything is the way to go. Homosexual “marriage” ? Fine with them. Slaughtering fetuses ? Hey that’s a-ok for the LP. Surrendering to Islamonazis ? Let’s ask the LP’s hero Surrender Monkey Ron Paul.
If you believe in any of the above, you’re simply not a Conservative.
Even Ayn Rand, who helped start the Libertarian movement, thought it was farcical.
Agreed. But the philosophical principles of libertariansim (as opposed to the diametrically opposing official LP party stance which in fact BETRAYS and CONTRADICTS libertarian principle in much the same way that Romney betrayed true conservatism) marks some of the THE FINEST conservative thinkers in America: Thomas Sowell. Milton Friedman. Walter E. Williams. Or, Absolutely Nobama, prove otherwise by posting anywhere idea and opinions put forth by them that are leftist? No? Why is that? Because the official LP Party is fraudulent ... but STUPID PARTY "conservatives" are rejecting a vast number of Americans who are philosophical allies (who aren't members of the LP party but who consider themselves somewhat libertarian) becuase stupid-emotional "conservatives" STUPIDLY ignore what libertarianism really is, and allow themselves to be used LIKE THE TOOLS THEY ARE by the Marxists who have taken over the LP. Tools like yourself are rejecting on false premises those Americans who could join us in votes to SAVE AMERICAN FREEDOM.
IT IS STUPID AND SUICIDAL for "conservatives" to reject out of hand a philosophical principal (not the official political party, whicn NO ONE, an certainly not me, is advocating) of libertarianism (HELLO??? That's small-l libertarian) shared by some of the finest conserative minds on politics today.
Free Republic is REPLETE with Stupid Party people.
The LP of today, then is as fraudulent with regard to libertarianism as Obama is with regard to being American and as pro-abortion, pro-nationlized-healthcare, pro gay agenda Romney was with regard to being "conservaive."
PROOF? Take homosexual "rights," for example. Were there laws on the books specifically prohibiting homosexuals from adopting childrn? Were there laws on the books specifically prohibiting two men from going through a charade wedding ceremony? NO.
Instead, there were adoption agencies that said, "Hell no, we're not going to let you two homosexual 'parents' -- ha ha! -- adopt one of our kids." Instead, there were churches, businesses, that said "Hell no, we're not going to participate in or officially recognize your fake 'marriage.'"
So along comes government tyrants (you like to call them "social Marxists," which is a MISNOMER) who want to use government, in the false name of homosexual "rights," to pass laws rescinding free Americans' rights, the God-given rights of adoption agencies and churches and businesses, to refuse to play along with the gay charade. Desire for such law is the antithesis of libertarian principle.
TRUE libertarian (small l, buddy!!!) practice would be limited government where gay guys could pretend to get married in communities where they could get away with it and not be run out of town on a rail, to let them approach adoption agencies if they want -- and just SEE how many adoption agencies would cooperate, how long they would last if it was known that they catered to homosexuals, how long it would be before vice and child pornography cops rightly shut those agencies down; just SEE how many churches and businesses would play pretend marriage. Some would, maybe more than some, but YOU and I and everyone else would be free to tell them to get lost.
But what you erroniously call "social Marxism" and what I correctly call GOVERNMENT TYRANNY, the EXACT thing that the Founders deliberatly side-stepped in the Constitution by not including laws prohibiting moral failings, GOVERNMENT TYRANNY acts to prohibit what IT sees as a moral failing -- that is, governmnt tyrants in the Republican party, in the Democrat party, and in the Libertarian party, believe that it is immoral to tell the homosexuals to go to hell.
The LP Party is a FRAUD if it advocates using government to probhibit people from discriminating against open homosexuals in their businesses, churches, adoption agencies (!), etc.
The LP Party no more represents true libertarianism, the kind that Sarah Palin talks about so many of us having a "streak" of, than Romney represents conservatism.
So again, IT IS STUPIDITY SUPREME to reject out of hand a natural philosophical ally, the libertarian such as Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, and Milton Friedman, not to mention the wisdom of Ronald Reagan who stood by his statement, when challened, that libertarian limited government philosophy was at the heart of conservatism, when that philosophical ally can swing the votes in FAVOR of FREEDOM the way the Founders intended.
