I agree. In the mid-80’s I was a Libertarian. The party was in pretty good shape then. But it later got taken over by whack-o’s and weird-o’s. I think we even had pedophials in the party. “Hey, we got our rights too!”
I now call myself a lower case “l” libetarian.
I often call myself an “objectivist, small “l” libertarian, Republican, Tory”.
My favorite was the “blue candidate” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2297471.stm . Technically atypical of LP candidates, but nonetheless a perfect symbol of it’s transformation into the Loopy Party.
