The Southwest Missouri Libertarian Party is committed to America's heritage of freedom and individual liberties

A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim. -- L. Neil Smith

"We Libertarians are constantly judged falsely for the stances we take
against government intrusions into individuals' lives. If you believe
the political rhetoric of the Democrats and Republicans, mixed with
all the media hype, you will think that Libertarians are 'for' all
kinds of reprehensible behaviors instead of seeing the truth of the
philosophy which is, in fact, 'against' government making decisions
for people that should be left to the individuals themselves. You
see, Libertarians believe that most places where government has its
collective nose today are just none of its business." (11/10/04)


1. Government does things it shouldn't.
2. People get used to it, eventually.
3. Someone comes in and points out number 1.
4. People refuse to believe number 1 is true because number 2 feels
comfortable.
5. More of the same and lesser of two evils is the final result.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the federal government.
