libertarian-party

Socialists seem to think George Orwell__ 1984 is a suggestion, or at least are unashamed of mimicking the methods of the totalitarian state Orwell depicted. Libertarians know it to be a warning, and a government that micro-manages all aspects of humanity an intolerable reality.

There are those that want "freedom" from individual responsibility. Then there are those that want individual "liberty." I choose the latter. I am a Libertarian

Every unnecessary law helps fashion the noose we will ultimately be hung by.

Regulations in an "Idea Economy" are restraints on innovation.

Defy the central planners. Upend their designs for your life. Be a staunch individualist. Stand on your rights.

The Libertarian Party convention wasn__ much better. You will never find a more stammering, awkward, inarticulate group of people than libertarians. I still remember the convention the previous year, entitled 'Women of Liberty.' All of the speakers were women, and all of the topics boiled down to 'Effectively Communicating Libertarian Ideas to Women' _ in other words, 'How to talk to girls.' Looking around at the nearly entirely white male audience, it wasn__ hard to see why they chose this tack.

People, imperfect and corruptible are society's building blocks. Political theories evading this reality are a catastrophe in waiting.
