You have to undo "socialist" damage by using propaganda and lying? Well at least you're finally admitting it. |

Nope, just some bad writing on my part. Sorry. We have to undo the damage done BY socialist schools -- damage that has been done through the propaganda and lies you learned in those socialist schools. We must undo that damage with truth. |

Actually it is more like your doctor telling you that a parasite is killing you, and that it will have to be removed. Then you ask him what will he replace it with, and the doctor just blinks at you, unable to answer. Libertarians just want to remove the parasites from the systems of society. |

That is why I don't like the party it is full of people who just like to complain and talk in slogans yet offer no actual ideas of their own, other than government is bad and shouldn't be involved in blank. They will talk about how the healthcare plans are bad, road to socialism and tyranny etc. but outside of platitudes they never talk about what they would like to do instead. Of if someone does have an idea it is usually very stupid like abolishing the Fed or something of the like.
Here I was complainin' about loss of pride and how life had treated me, and now I realized... I never had any pride |

Nope, I have to disagree. You talk from a purely ideological viewpoint which does not stand the test of reality. Corruption would still be there the venue would just change. Your post reminds me about another issue I have with liberatarians, the "rose colored glasses affect", where everything will just be so much better and that everything will just fix itself. Wealth has corrupted government? Isn't the mantra of many a libertarian "mine". How would you propose that a Libertarian controls the government powers? Who are the ones that decides how these powers are to be defined and controled? How is the playing field leveled with Wal-Mart and the mom and pops under liberatrianism? I do not speak from " purely an ideological viewpoint". It does stand the test of reality if the proper safeties are put into place. You can make it uncorruptable by removing the funding, put laws in place to restrict government power, and remove what money can buy, not expand it. This is the true reason Libertarians are not " welcomed in the whitehouse". It is because the current parties to not want to relinquish that power and neither does big business. There are no " rose colored glasses' . The grim reality is they have made a huge mess that will have to be fixed before we can get anything done properly. There is alot that needs to be undone, and a gradual tranistion that needs to take place before things can be " fixed'. Nothing will fix itself at all, it has to be fixed before we can enjoy the benefits from doing so. The mantra of libertarianism is not "mine" . It is that people can make their own decisions on how to live their life, spend their money, what to do with their person and their property as long as it is not infringing upon others rights to do so. Not have someone esle telling them what they should do, how to live their life, and how to spend their money. The Libertarians I knoware some of the most generous people I know, they give all of themselves and expect little in retrun, claiming they are a product of the " me" geberation is simply false. I would propose we put the failsafes back in and clarify the laws so there will NEVER be a misunderstanding again as to the proper role of government. I don;t think you understand it is the government that should have limited powers, not the private citizen. The private citizen should have more rights than the government does power. Who decides? Common law decides. A Republic is ruled by law, not by a person. They have thrown those laws out and the failsafes in order to create the monster we have now, we would just return those failsafes and clarify the law to make our lawmakers better understand their job is a steward of the law not the creators of it. Walmart was created because of polices they created in their favor, those policies must be reveresed, and before we can truly restore the playting field, we would have to fix some of the things that have been done in the process. I did not say it would be pretty, we would have to take down walmart in a thousand bites, and possibly even order restitution , or a selloff of the shares, because there were " victims" as a result of these polices. It WOULD be messy for a bit, but afterwards the playing field would be restored. The key to the restoration is a gradual shift, first we would have to help our small businesses regain their footing, and after that we would be able to level it completely. Have assistance programs that allowed small businesses to network to decrease their overhead to compete head on with the giants until they take them down. Many of these things can be put into place without the need of law to intervene, but there are many laws that need to be reversed first. The laws making it more difficult to open businesses must be reversed, applying a tax to all moneys leaving this country and removing taxes on monies being spent in this country would help soften the blow along the way. It would encourage more local investment in communities and American labor and deter foreign inverstors from hooking their syphons up and sucking our communities dry. What we need are more American Entrepeneurs and inventors to get it back where it should be, so for the transitional period we would have to shift policy in their favor before actually being able to correct it entirely.

Umm its pritty well spelled out... Prohaps the reason you think we dont offer a Diffrent oppinion is because we DONT WANT MORE GOVERNMENT.... Nahh cant be that. If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. |

I am talking about the people that join it, yeah the party has ideas but the members mostly just like to complain rather than do anything. Not just libertarians though, all parties are like that mostly populated with people that just set around and whine.

Plus the Cato institute and other libertarian-minded think tanks and public policy groups have produced hundreds of position papers on different ways to get from here to there. It is silly how they expect every libertarian to be an expert on social and public policy, when they do not hold themselves to this standard. They ask us questions, we provide them with websites, books and articles which they do not read. Then they lie and say we do not offer solutions. Again most of what we do is counteract the lies of the opposition -- they are very good at lying since they have been at it for so long. |

Okay so what are YOU doing to advance a more libertarian society? I see you sitting around and whining about people sitting around and whining. The first stage in social change is sitting around and whining. Done. The next stage is organization and spreading the message, generating papers, theories and debates. Done. The next stage would be running and endorsing candidates. Done. All those things are happening at all levels now. personally I've been involved with all of the above. That's a bit more than sitting around and whining. This is a nascent movement. It took socialism like one hundred years to take over the US, and it's still a struggling movement. It started with what? People sitting around and whining. |

I can understand how you feel. I happen to be one of those that actually does go out and tries to make a difference hands on. I was a representative for the Libertarian party, actively trying to make changes, but I too became disheartened when it seemed I wasn;t going to be able to do much that way. I then changed course and took on postitions in my own community where I felt I could actually make a difference. I guess that is where it starts though, with people making a difference where they live, making their communities a better place to live and helping those around them the best they can. We get these people in all of the communities doing these things and put them together and we might actually be able to get something " big" done, but it is a rough road ahead to seeing that happen. I do not lose hope though, just keep doing the best I can , and hoping that one day our combined efforts will pay off. I completely agree though that we shou;d never give " loyalties to a group" but to what we believe to be right and true regardless of what the " herd" believes. I do not agree with everything on the offical platform, and openly speak against some of their agendas. I am a strong believer that people must speak their minds , and stand up for what they believe in ,otherwise no problems will ever be solved. |

They must be pro parasite right? And then he tells you that he's the best choice to make for a doctor without telling you how to actually remove the parasites. Let's see, self aggrandizing and pretension - yep it's all there. Nice one dude, but if you're going to quote Hitler at least give him credit. |

But then, you're the racist here, so I bet you know him better than I do. I merely consider oppressive government parasitic in nature. Nothing Hitlerian in that at all. The rest of what you said simply shows that what I wrote is above your racist, Hitlerian mindset. Since we both know where your mind resides, no surprise there. |

You're the one that made that connection Adolf. |

You intentionally called a person of another race a monkey, and I called you on it. You are a racist plain and simple. |

A person of another race? ROFLMAO Didn't you wonder why I didn't fall back on the customary response of "I'm not racist, I have plenty of _______ friends?" I should think that you're feeling really stupid right now with all of your assumptions, but since you have a legacy of stupidity on this forum, this one will just be another drop in the ocean, won't it? |

You have a legacy of racism and fascism, so this statement of yours is just another drop in the ocean. You also have a legacy of lying, so anything you say or imply is suspect. |

No, that is an example of you trying to hide your racism. After all being a racist won't make you popular. However you were caught being a racist, and a liar. Anyone can say anything. However, YOU revealed what you are, and that's that. However as I said you are a known, proven, nailed to the wall liar, so everything you say is suspect. |

That makes no sense at all. It's gibberish, pure gibberish. Hiding my racism to make me popular? I'm a socialist on a conservative forum where socialist is equal to satanism. Known, proven, liar? How about you prove it then? Calling me a lair doesn't make me one. That's not proof. That's just name calling... Idiot!

I proved you a liar in another thread, then you proved yourself a racist. In this thread you have merely proven yourself a liar who tries to hide the past and a revisionist, which ties in quite nicely with your racism. |
