If they can't get these passed I hereby pledge to become a card carrying Libertarian.

That might not be a bad attitude to take in general... Not letting a bill come to a vote just because your name/branch isn't on it is almost the definition of juvenile.TresHuevos wrote:If they can't get these passed I hereby pledge to become a card carrying Libertarian.

It's less the shenanigans of the other parties, and more the ideals, that make libertarianism great. A small government, which minds it's own business, and is not in the business of banning things. Allows people to decide what is best for themselves, as long as they do not harm others. What's not to like? I believe the only reason everyone ISN'T libertarian is because they have personal beliefs that they think everyone else should HAVE to follow. Ideas so good they should be mandatory. Nobody likes to mind their own business.canvasbck wrote:With the chronic shenanigans in DC and Austin, it's hard to NOT be a card carrying Libertarian.
I've always supported the Liberian party vs the same old R and D. Even though I have religious beliefs that go against certain things (abortion, gay marriage) I understand that not everyone shares my beliefs and therefor should be able to decide what is best for themselves and their own situation. As long as it does not interfere with me directly or my pursuit of happiness then frankly it's none of my business.

Pretty much everything. Libertarians love to promote only two or three of the Libertarian Party's Platform planks like gun rights and smaller government. The vast majority of its Platform is either dangerously naive or outright crazy.CJD wrote:canvasbck wrote:. . . it's hard to NOT be a card carrying Libertarian. . . . What's not to like?

Make no mistake... I'd guess that the majority of us who are libertarians are NOT, in any way, shape, or form, affiliated with the Libertarian Party. It's unfortunate that we share a name.nightmare69 wrote:I've always supported the Liberian party vs the same old R and D.

There's plenty. One example is their platform of "Economic Liberty". It's not only an idealistic impossibility, it's downright dangerous to capitalism.CJD wrote:May I ask which points in particular you don't like?Charles L. Cotton wrote:Pretty much everything.
