Yes, oh please, can I be a part of the party filled with self worshiping people who want Americans to believe the lie that the founding fathers wanted us to have government only in order to secure the greatest freedom to be the most irresponsible that we people can possibly be? Where do I sign up?

Get real.

I'm sorry but I'm afraid you wouldn't qualify. People who don't believe in Freedom aren't happy in the LP. You would probably be more comfortable in a party that believes in controlling how other people live their lives. Socialists would certainly welcome you with open arms.

Good Day!

I prefer this guy's government, my Randite friend:

Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.  The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place.  It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?  If men were angels, no government would be necessary.  If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.  In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
James Madison, Father of the Constitution
