As I myself look at a personal credit card statement for several hundred dollars, 100% of which is for San Francisco Pride parade and festival booth fees, very...
I second Rachel Hawkridge's question below about the intention of the LP and the LNC to endorse shooting people who have not harmed anyone's life, liberty, or...
Unfortunately, the broader libertarian community's ability to address this issue credibly has been somewhat undermined -- a large number of even Big-L...
From an Outright perspective, I see no difference between this "policy" and the one used by the Republicans (and supported by Democrats for decades) to exclude...
Brian; Good points! But there is a response to the question our communications director might ask... we spoke but no one listened during the Barr Campaign, we...
You need to stop harping on it Brian, and then maybe people won't get that impression! It's ridiculous to try to blame Donny Ferguson or the LP's problems on...
I also think it's fair to say that we've changed our engagement policy towards LP communications. Whereas in the past we were less activist about confronting...
Starchild: It's really very simple. Less than 12 months ago, you were an outspoken advocate of one of the three Republican candidates who scored 100% on the...
Gentlepeople - One of the things that you can do is to write to the LNC, ALL of the LNC, about this kind of thing. Don't quote me, or Mary, or say we asked...
The reason we can't "stop harping on it," Starchild, is that there are rumblings of a 2012 Paul campaign for President. Anyone criticizing Donny Ferguson...
Agreed, and it is fair to say. I have to admit that I was one of the voices for spinning the party's and Barr's conservatarian statements in a positive light...
If we discard our principles every time some honey-voiced prophet of instant political success comes along, we'll have two nominal outcomes: 1) Nobody will...
How was the ticket you supported, Barr Root on open immigration and HIV issues? Unless they had perfect libertarian positions, which they did not, you and...
Outright Libertarians did NOT endorse Bob Barr nor the Barr Root campaign. Nor did Rob, Brian, or any leader in this organization endorse Bob Barr nor the Barr...
I don't recall withholding criticism from Bob Barr. I criticized his positions on immigration, gay rights, military policy and the budget, in public, on...
The closest I came to "supporting" Barr/Root was to say in the Advocate that the ticket was the most libertarian on the ballot. (And, financially, as a county...
I joined the Libertarian party a couple of years back, because I was tired of voting for the lesser of the evils. If the LP is not going to put up a candidate...
Now, if we can get them to support the Reuniting Families Act, we might undo some of the damage from the "border wall" nonsense that went out last week. ... ...
Unless you're willing to do things like become active in your local and state parties, and show up to national conventions to vote for leadership and...
I agree. I'd also encourage people to step up to the plate. The people "you always hear about" aren't any different from anyone else, except that they put...
So much for the silly contention that Outright or any of its board members don't support the rights of the polyamorous, asexual, or any other group of free...
Rob, You're absolutely right about this. If you want a libertarian Libertarian Party that stands up strongly for civil liberties and GLBTQ rights among other...
Rob, A key difference, as has been pointed out, is that Donny Ferguson is speaking on behalf of the *Libertarian* Party, and therefore needs to be held to a...
I'm surprised you buy into "formal structure" thusly, Starchild. ;) I think it doesn't matter whether he's "official" or not. The most-watched Libertarian...
Rachel, Hopefully LNC members understand that I'm my own person and will speak out as I see fit, and would have done so in this case whether you urged it or...
