Starchild, The problem is that most single-issue activists don't want to join a broad-based group. They want to focus on their pet issue. It's a cliche that...
... The Nolan Chart was an attempt to graphically represent, seemingly in a descriptive manner, individuals' overall political positions or tendencies ...
M, Most single-issue activists not wanting to join a broad-based group is indeed a challenge, though certainly not a unique one. I think it's almost...
Starchild, seems to me that the LP is and always has been accepting of pot smokers and gun owners. Do you see it otherwise? The more interesting question is...
Bob, No no, I wasn't trying to say the LP is not accepting of pot smokers and gun owners. I agree with you that Libertarians always have been. I was trying to...
I am not usually on the bandwagon with Starchild but I think he has a good point. We should, as a group, look for people who share visions of liberty on many...
... We already see Rothbard's anarchism, albeit in nascent form, in _Man, Economy, and State_, published a dozen years before 1974. (His crank faux-economics...
LOL , so both the 'rads' and 'reformers' claim saboteurs and infiltrating of the other . what a deeper and deeper rabbit hole this all becomes. I thought...
Bryan, Certainly many of the people in the marginalized groups are D's and R's, and have their own long-held political beliefs. But it stands to reason that...
You know Starchild...I'd really like the chance to talk to you at length about these issues.... At the national level, I think the platform allows for...
I wonder how many of the folks in this list actually talk to a lot of folks who *aren't* actually Libertarians (or aren't yet), because we're missing a big...
I didn't come from the republicans, I actually was a Green until about a year ago. Therefore, I really do believe in the social freedoms that are listed in the...
A government comprised of civilized people has the authority and the duty to help those who need to be helped. We do not need to be a nation of selfish...
They had a government much like this for about 75 years in the USSR...it failed. The government is not the answer. If you are concerned about the hungry,...
Those who governed the Soviet Union were heartless bastards and uncivilized clods. We are not them. Be confident in US civilization. We are a modern...
We are a civilized society. Churches help people everyday, and the only reason for the existence of many non-profits is to care for the weakest among us. I do...
Bryan... Good. You agree we are a civilized society, not like those barbarians who made the Soviet Union into a slave state. But you want to push us toward a...
I said I didn't like Reagan, not that he wasn't right on some issues....so I stand by that citation. If I believed in a theocracy I would still be a member of...
In this circumstance, I will gratefully accept a B-, as I thought I was talking to a Troll...still not sure but giving you the benefit of doubt. ... From: Alt...
I would like to touch on this in several cases. But you want to push us toward a theocracy, using churches as the only means of helping those who need help. ...
People who have confidence in the american people have no reason to demand that government compel what individuals better do on a voluntary basis. Only...
I'm essentially in agreement on this one, but I think there's a reason for it. When we start relying on government, we become like the old story about how to...
I agree on what you said. Our people have became such wimps that they call the police if they don't like the neighbor's stereo. The problem with freedom is...
All, On the blog Independent Political Report, informal talks have been ongoing about creating a "St. Louis Accord."Â Essentially, the idea is to introduce a...
