Make room for libertarians

Libertarians love Freedom in all its forms.

The message of Freedom brings us together and is all inclusive, whether it be:

Freedom of religion, The separation of church and state, The right to bear arms, Free trade, Market competition, Capitalism, The right to Life, The liberty to choose, Equal... more

  1. So which is more important, religious freedom or a free market economy?

  2. OR, the Libertarians can continue to be their own party and you can work to make them a viable alternative to the other two options in elections.

    @ sarcastrophe: Abortion should be off the table on the federal level. It is a state/local issue. Using my tax dollars to support it is unconstitutional and immoral. You support the causes & charities you choose, I can choose for myself & my own money. I don't need the government to decide for me. Same with embryonic stem cell research - should be privately funded. Govt should BUTT OUT!

    @ facehead: I'm a Republican/libertarian Christian. I neither condone nor condemn homosexuality. Other peoples personal lives is simply none of my business.

  5. Libertarians have their own party -- don't try and co-opt their ideas just because yours are as old as dirt and don't work anymore. Be a real "maverick," align yourself with libertarians if that's your ideology. It's pathetic to think they would want to align with the GOP just to make Republicans stronger!

  6. Speaking as a Libertarian I can say that we don't need you. If you had kept to your "Contract with America" the Libertarian party would be one tenth the size it is today. Your membership is dwindeling. The Libertarians are growing. Give us twenty years. You'll be asking for our help. www.lp.org

  7. HEY! Stop picking on the Liberty-ans! They may think that mankind is essentially good and that looking out for ones self interests purely means that you will look out for those of your neighbor as well, but that doesn't mean they aren't intelligent and thoughtful human beings. They merely have no grasp of history or social realities.

  8. I no about librarians. I fired one cuz she had Harry Poter satan books. S&T 4eva.

    dlundgren considering how the neocons treated us true conservatives/libertarians in this election cycle, f' em. They are traitors.

    Old GOP believes were subsequently similar to libertarians ideals.

    Quote BrotherWhodat "but aren't Librarians often times educated, uppity, LIEberal, elitests? Kinda goes against our partys belief system. "

    Liberal? Hardly. If wanting small government, Free markets, and not telling people what they can and can't do is liberal well than I'm confused.
    I mean how would you describe our Party right now after our Nominee voted for a $700 billion dollar bail out

    Even though my views on marriage mimic the Christian view, I can't demand that belief out of everyone. "Judge not lest ye be judged." and "Love one another" and "all are created equal in the eyes of the Lord" is my view of Christianity.

    The more I thought about this issue (left prop 8 blank) the more I realized that the country shouldn't be in the marriage business.

  14. People like Facehead are what ruin your party. Thank you "Tim in Ohio". The Republican Party doesn't have to "condone" homosexuality...the Democratic Party doesn't "condone" homosexuality either..it doesn't "condone" heterosexuality either. However..when dealing with gay people, the government should treat them the same as straight people...that includes government marriage policy.

    I agree! How dare we continually subject ourselves to this so-called "Social contract"? think of all the trucknutz and crystal pepsi i could buy if i didnt have to support the less fortunate with my grandfather's hard earned money.
