DEFEATING THE REPUBLICAN POLICE STATE MANDATE

Sergei Hoff

Admittedly, I have a tendency to become a bit severe while addressing police state atrocities, life taking betrayals, apathy, and widespread ignorance. Though I am desirous of mending this tiny personality flaw, I cannot find compelling reasons to retract even one castigating word. If, while in the defense of our founding principles and human rights I also manage to shame a few quasi and pseudo-patriots into defending the Constitution, an unpleasant yet needed victory will be declared. For possible consolation, any bruised egos may loosely relate such unflattering counsel to my expression of "Tough Love." We can no longer survive our national crisis with timid responses. Americans are now engaged in a civil war!

Mr. Wizard, I didn't write the article.  If you want information on the history, platform, or membership of the Libertarian Party, they have a web-site.  If you want to play question and answer, either read the article or buy a book.

In my opinion, the one substancial role that the Libertarians currently serve is to remind those who care to listen that our nation is a Constitutional Republic with laws of governmental conduct and order, not just a Republican or Democratic party feifdom.

Unlike either the Republicans or the Democrats, they claim to acknowledge the Constitution as the Law of the Land.

My take is that they don't see the current state of the union as quite what the founders had in mind.

Please. Feel free to disagree.

Doesn't this, in the word's of a great past lia,,,,,leader depend on how you interpet the word "is"? Or did you mean "was"?

If you read the preamble to the constitution, they intended more than to provide liberty.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It is ashame that of the choices available to us, none inspired a vote for, just a vote against another.

life is no joke but funny things happen

 the answer is none. I believe it's to bad, but also think it stems from a few things. First, they use only their own money to run for office, they can't compete with democrats and republicans using public funds.
Next, they are never invited to debates. Other than Ross Peroit who has been. The major party's have a lock there. And why don't they invite them themselves? And next, the american people would rather live with the welfare state we have than risk losing anything personal at all. God forbid we didn't have public schools, public trans(which few use), a cop on every street corner that for some reason is always to late to help.

Americans do not want freedom or liberty if there is a price to pay. Rather they want government to hand out what it deems necessary and except that cowing down to them keeps them from getting hurt. Imagine what would happen if either the democrats or republicans re-instituted the draft, eliminated social security or did away with welfare. Imagine if government told the people that they had to be responsible in all things in their life and there were no more hand out's.

It is the social welfare state that will alway's overcome civil liberty's. And so the libertarians have little to offer the majority. And to many that think they do also believe that voting their feelings, if it means not voting democrat or republican, would be throwing away their vote. So, in the last election, which of the lesser of two evils did you vote for?

If I had to declare myself politically aligned with any particular party it would be the Libertarians.  They address the majority of the shortcomings of the Republicans AND the Democrats.  The Libertarian party isn't without it's problems, but those problems aren't nearly at the level of the other 2 parties which seem to be locked into power these days.  

Though it's an oversimplification, the Libertarians mostly conform to the idea that so long as something is not impuning on the freedom of another, then you are free to do as you darn well please.  No grabbing the guns trying to protect the children, no legislating of morality, no hushing of unpopular views, no government sanctioned monopolies for deep pocketed campaign contributors.  

* PS Though I'm not one to mind whether or not someone is mad at me, do know that when I mention "government anctioned monopolies" I'm not referring to the Halliburton issue as many lefties do, but rather to what I regard as a completely broken copyright and patent system in this country.
