Why the Libertarians can't get shit done

[ubertroll]

Because their party is run by crackpots whose politics only vaguely resemble libertarianism while the actual philosophical libertarians are mostly in the major parties.

The champion of the "Libertarian" party was anti-choice for fuck's sake.

Common misconception.

Roe V Wade makes abortions mandatory and paid for by the state everywhere.

That isn't choice, that is mandatory abortion clinics , even in places that *gasp* don't want them.

I am an Independant. I only agree with the Libertarian viewpoints, in general, if we were starting the U.S. government from scratch.

People only agree with Libertarianism when they want their country to become like a Mos Eisley spaceport. Minus the spaceport.

WTF!??!!?!

Where did you get from Roe v Wade that abortion was made mandatory? I seriously think you need to read the actual decision.

Just who is this unnamed "champion?"

The link is to the platform of the Libertarian party. You're free to agree or disagree, in part or in the whole, but at least deal with the platform.

Libertarians can't get shit done because a true libertarian doesn't try very hard to persuade the next guy (or gal) to vote libertarian...it's his or her choice to do so.

Anarchists have even more problems getting organized.

Libertarian: The only thing we offer is less and more of it!






In the age of the relavists and social engineers, who's going to buy that?






Why "the other guys" in the major parties can't get shit done is that the bribes get really thin by the time the largess of the treasury gets down to the level of the working man, and who wants to work for that dream...?

Two Quotes:

Democracy is not a form of government to survive, for it will only succeed until the citizens discover they can vote themselves wealth from the treasury - then they will bankrupt it.


I will not be a party to stealing money from one group of citizens to give to another group of citizens; no matter what the need or apparent justification. Once the coffers of the federal government are open to the public, there will be no shutting them again. It is the responsibility of the citizens to support their government; it is not the responsibility of the government to support its citizens.

***

The New Deal, so touted by Lit's 'enlightened' crowd, flies in the face of these simple truths - and is exactly why our nation is heading toward bankruptcy, hyperinflation and status with Post WW1 Germany, Argentina, and Italy.

Looney LIBS...

Here is an alternative.
"The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment".

Which is why Democracy was viewed as such a pernicious evil and limited to the House, but then, in a wave of populism, the Senate was also handed over to the mob and the Republic died to be replaced by a Democracy, and that will lead to tyranny, and then the tyrant. Machiavelli [para].

With the pantheon of presidential candidates we were offered, one must conclude that the tyranny of the elites is now a very real and threatening thing.

Right on the mark for sure. Good to see you again Kay.

I think she needs to show us more of herself...

 

[piove_essa]

I believe in and support your 'alternative' opinions because....

"He who fails to question is asking for trouble."

and in answer to your posts...

Democracy is not being, it is becoming. It is easily lost, but never finally won.
