"You think that arrest was a good thing?"

The national LP fritters away their relevance by issuing such vapid press releases.

So you posted this not to discuss the article, but simply to bash Libertarians. Bravo. You may have just garnered the stupid post of the day award.

[babble-on]

you nailed it, and I'll go a step further. The Libertarian Party could make a valuable contribution to society by serving as an intellectual guidepost for the Republican Party. But by insisting on orthodoxy, they opt out of the political system altogether. A great legacy of clearsighted political thinking is now regarded by one and all as a bunch of cranks relegated to a spoiler Loony Party. Rather than using libertarian ideas to inform the process of government, which would be a great contribution, the Libertarians insist on an ideological all-or-nothing stance that leaves them with nothing.
