@JayLittle he had toyed with joining the Party and seeking our nomination. He attended the California LP convention, and during the straw poll he received 1 vote from the hundreds of assembled Libertarians. Pretty sure that was enough to turn him off.
@mjmurphyva@nsarwark I hear you. There are facists who call themselves libertarians, just as 100 years ago there were facists that called themselves socialists. That didn't make socialists facist.
@stevefoerster I've been a member of the Libertarian Party for over 20 years. The current "leadership" created hostile take over 2 years ago, appearing to do so destroy any chance of anyone "stealing votes" from Trump. I'm a member of the Executive Committee of the Michigan Libertarians populated by those currently being sued by the natoinal committee for daring to use the "trademarked" phrase "Libertarian Party" without their permission.
This coming convention SHOULD be the end of their reign, over the over 1,000 delegates elected to represent the nations Libertarians at the convention the majority are actual Libertarians, who may fight regularly about whether we should campaign for lower taxes or no taxes (and similar) but at least this year are united gains the so-called Mises Caucus, but this appears a last ditch effort to keep our people from coming, and to encourage theirs to show up.
@JayLittle I'm sure they have lots of stupid excuses "it will get us more publicity" and "how else will he hear about Libertarian ideals" but its just bogus.
@JayLittle I'm a Libertarian and I have seen Party "leadership" do a lot of stupid things in the 23 years I've been involved, but this may well take the cake. Also we aren't linked to RFK Jr. either.
@nsarwark My audacious breathern and I were the first to warn about MiCauc back in like '17 when everyone else was "oh they are just baby libertarians, they'll figure it all out, you guys are over reacting"
@nsarwark I've tried several internet searches on libertarians and drugs and not finding anything like what you are talking about. The closest I can think of is the Party chair asking about "Do you really want illegal immigrants doing drugs in public parks?" The answer to which of course was no. It is just silliness because we don't believe any immigration should be illegal, not to mention we believe no parks should be government owned.
But until then we should expect His return and be good stewards of this earth.
I would hope you agree that part of that stewardship is social-economic reform. Jesus told the rich man that to follow him he must sell what he has and give to the poor. The early Christians lived in community and shared everything leaving nothing to themselves.
Maybe not, but she lives in blue colar America were people understand what needs to be done to an unsafe hunting dog.
If the animal rights people run too many attacks against her at home I suspect it would actually help rural Democrat voters, yes those still exist mostly because they like the ag subsidy checks, jump the fence.
FamilyMan been married for >15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls are my greatest love on this planet.I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist. Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so many things: governments aren't the only ones stealing individual rights, I know so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make a difference without having to know anyone particular.I'm employed as contract Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I'm hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don't have an engineering degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.I'm a #Libertarian and ha
