It is very simple if you are awake. Do you want an open border or not? This is an invasion. Fentanyl and child sex trafficking as well as military age men are streaming over our border right now. The choice is clear. This is not Democrat versus Republican versus Libertarian. Those days are over. We are in the middle of a war and Donald J. Trump is between us and our enemies. The Marxist Left hate you and me. They hate this country (did you hear the chants on the college campuses?). Look at their actions. Listen to their words. Believe them when they say: "death to America!". Wake up sleepy dreamers! Wake up!
No way I could ever be a democrat or any of its thousands of offshoots. Trying to be a republican is an exercise in frustration, foolishness and futility. And I have no energy I want to waste on trying to figure out what a libertarian is. That leaves me without a political party and I couldn't be happier. There is no political party that could represent me for as being an anti-vaxxer, I am also anti-government as the means to govern a society.
Fighting with one another is what Libertarians do. Put ten Libertarians in a room and you'll have 23 different opinions. In other circumstances it's called foreplay.
What is funny is that Libertarians should be the majority. Most Americans are social liberals and fiscal conservatives.
I am 76 years old and autistic. I went to English Protestant School in Quebecois speaking CONSERVATIVE CATHOLIC Quebec. My father and mother did not believe in life after death or a Messiah they were not Christian. Quebec was a THEOOCRACY in 1948.
Bill 21 said ALL religion is forbidden in public affairs, but Quebec is invisible behind America's electronic curtain. In Quebec there no such things in law as gender, race or religion in our JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY.
I went to ENGLISH PROTESTANT PUBLIC school because I wasn't Catholic if you spoke French as your mother tongue you went to English Protestant school if you weren't Catholic in a country that lost all contact with France in 1759 more than a generation before the French Revolution and was over 85% Catholic.
In my school libertarian was the antonym for conservative. Noam Chomsky was a democratic socialist Libertarian and Ronald WILSON Reagan was a FASCIST and Karl Hess III wrote Goldwater's BULLSHIT. Hess was a libertarian philosopher and Goldwater was a politician who craved power.
I use Samuel Johnson Dictionary 1755 revised 1773 to understand the United States Constitution. Oxford Dean of Philosophy Charles Dodgson AKA Lewis Carroll wrote in Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass. 250 years after the King James Version Legal English was still Gibberish.
The religious conservatives are the POLAR OPPOSITE of Libertarians.
Libertarians put the individual at the apex and conservatives put a Deity, a Messiah, a Pope, an Archbishop, an Ayatollah, a Rebbe, a king, a president, a triumvirate or a parliament at the summit. I live in Quebec and the ballot box is SUPREME and our media is as independent as America will allow us to be. I prefer America to Putin.
I am not a scholastic I just play one in real life I am diagnosed a genius in abstract mathematics and linguistics
Instead of listening to the teacher I read. I know George the third was the first Hanover to speak English and his only responsibility was to apply the Royal Seal and obey the Prime Minister. America was a constitutional parliamentary oligarchy in 1689 under the Toleration Act which ended the English uncivil War.
No one who was Jewish attended the translation of the Greek and Roman translations understood Judaism because Jews were banned from England from Richard's return from Crusades until Cromwell and Dutch Calvinism.
In 1789 America's conservatives were very liberal and Samuel Johnson was an English Supremacist who considered Benjamin Franklin the most evil SCOUNDREL on the planet
Thanks for the translations, and the patient stamina. I understand the philosophies, and agree with many, but... Thinking of a "Libertarian Convention", the political LARPing, conjures up images of beanie wearing neck beards playing in a Dungeons and Dragons death match marathon ...
A few years ago you wouldn't have been wrong. From what I've seen of this year's convention, that vibe is absent. (The Mises takeover of the party being the reason)
I volunteered for Ron Paul's 1988 LP presidential campaign. I've been a small "l" libertarian most of my life, a big "L" Libertarian for a few years, too. But when Bill Weld was on the 2016 LP ticket that was the death knell for any LP claim to stand for libertarian values. Bob Barr's candidacy was bad enough, having supported the Patriot Act knowing it would outgrow the parameters he claims he stood for and was surprised didn't constrain it. But Bill Weld?!?! Massachusetts RINO governor (think: Mitt Romney)!?!?! Clinton administration official??!?! A Libertarian Pres/VP offering?!?!?! A fake, phony and false libertarian party. More like opportunistic. Without any authentic libertarian core principles. Beyond worthless. A spoiler party at best.
While I have never voted democrat, and sometimes even not voted at all, I do not consider myself "aligned" with the republicrats. Nor would I consider aligning with the "independants", however they came up with that bs................ When I vote, I like to look at what's on the ballot and ask myself, ....... DOES THIS s%%^t make sense? And if so, I vote for it. Pray tell, what political party is that?
You guys keep getting it wrong (I write with a smirk) It is not "screaming into the ether or the void" If it had been silence, we would have made a lot of noise. But like a void which has no sound, it was far worse...screaming into a hurricane of fear, panic, and propaganda. It was relentless and obtrusive. I could have been "this close" to naming my substack "Screaming Into A Hurricane" but alas, us bare-face plague spreaders must air our pathogen-stained grievances and "let them rip" in the open air.
Fun fact: Originally the name of my stack was something like "A lone wolf screaming into the uncaring void" or something like that, but that was too long ;)
“This position dates back to the earliest years of the Libertarian Party, especially the 1974 platform, which called for “the repeal of all laws restricting voluntary birth control or the right of the woman to make a personal moral choice regarding the termination of pregnancy.”

The professed tenets of D, R and L are rarely manifest in our politically perverted bloated government.
i hear you.
I heard RFK Jr. say he'd pardon Snowden and Assange at a rally in AZ... not a libertarian rally. So it has come up before. Just Sayin'
Interesting!

Smith even mentioned that they were focused on the disagreements because they all already agreed on lower taxes and whatnot.

America's divide is semantics

Yes, Lars Mapstead, future President of the United States 👀⁉️

Liked.
NAILED IT
Waiting for the debate to begin on C-SPAN. I hope you're enjoying mingling...
I wish! I'm sitting at home watching online ;)
Have to give Vivek credit for his courage in suggesting a coalition with Trump. (He started out quite nervous.)
Note to self: Showing up on time has its advantages. Sometimes big advantages!
Sorry! Misunderstood!

Is Tom Woods going to be there?
He doesn't have a speaking spot as far as I can tell, but I'd imagine that he's there. Edit: His twitter says nothing about it, though.

A.L.W.S.I.T.U.V
That doesn't look good in a t-shirt.
“He noted that RFK Jr. just said he would pardon Snowden... ”
--------------------------------
So his daughter-in-law’s contacts can kill him?
[You decide which “him.”]
Until the Libertarian Party gets rid of its hypocritical stance on in utero blending, I won’t be able to help make it viable.
"Blending"? Is that a euphemism for Osterization?
Yes. Because I am a pixel herder and not familiar with the culinary arts.
What stance is that?
In other words… the party cops out, sidestepping the “do no harm” aspect. A sticky wicket.
“This position dates back to the earliest years of the Libertarian Party, especially the 1974 platform, which called for “the repeal of all laws restricting voluntary birth control or the right of the woman to make a personal moral choice regarding the termination of pregnancy.”
Interesting, because I don't know if I've ever actually met a libertarian with that position.
Is all Principle until it’s politics.
Yeah it's easy to have the principles when nobody cares what your position is.
