REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS POSITION STATEMENT

RLC Website ^ | December 8, 2000 | Republican Liberty Caucus

I hope someday to become a Republican, if the RLC can gain influence. There's little hope for the L.P., IMO, but I can't support the GOP as it stands.

I would definately vote for any Republican who supports the above position.

Not much fun here in Ohio either. We get marxists, neocons and RINOs as our options. I'm left with a couple libertarians to punch for or leave em balnk.

[Joe Brower]

Quite sobering to read this and realize how diametrically opposed to these statements the Republicans are in actual practice. It's like a cruel joke. On us.

[NC_Libertarian]

I think he generally advocates a lot more of it then he'll admit these days...

But he wouldn't want to upset some of the facists that have become FR's bread and butter as of late.

[Protagoras]

Sorry, I'm not a Republican, but thanks.

[NC_Libertarian]

I think it is utterly and completely UN-libertarian to support unrestricted abortion. There's no right more fundamental then the right to live. It's unfortunate that the RLC has taken that position.

- Are there any in California?

That was my next question...

[Protagoras]

I think he generally advocates a lot more of it then he'll admit these days...

Not possible for me to ascertain. I received no response. He might be busy.

But he wouldn't want to upset some of the facists that have become FR's bread and butter as of late.

I couldn't make an educated guess about the first part, but I can say from personal experience that infinite amounts of lying, flame baiting and other site degradation is allowed to an organized cadre of authoritarians.

I'll leave the speculation about why to others, but it sure is confounding when the exact same behavior is met with post deletions and suspensions when practiced by others. Hard to figure.

I missed that part, where can it be found?

[Reagan Man]

Right here.

To understand JR you must realize that he's a tactician first, idealogue second. He a tech guy and an ex-military man, so he often takes a scientific problem solving approach to things such as forum integrity and how to affect politics.

He has a huge balancing act going on. I assure you he's a lot closer to your outlook on life and further from any "bushbot" than you think.

[NC_Libertarian]

I remember in the past Mr. Robinson chimeing in on pro-liberty threads. That stopped some time ago.

[steve50]

There does seem to be an organized attempt to control discussion since about April, doesn't there.

It's going to be hard to run a RLC page if certain sources continue to be banned

[NC_Libertarian]

According to Reagen Man, it was from the RLC website?

[eshu]

Even if that means opposition to America's successful national drug control policy.

The mean the "successful" drug control policy that classifies bottled water and glowsticks as "drug paraphenalia"?

The "successful" drug control policy that drove the price of MDMA in the US up to $30 a tab, wheras in the Netherlands, where MDMA is produced, it only costs $3 a tab?

Oh yeah, that "successful" drug control policy... Prohibition I mean, the "War on Drugs"...

[Protagoras]

I have no connection to this group, and I am anti-abortion.

Having said that, taking no position is not a pro-abortion postion, except in the eyes of a very small minority.

[tpaine]

Hear, hear. -- And the silence of the B&B facists we've flagged is quite telling.

[Protagoras]

I assure you he's a lot closer to your outlook on life and further from any "bushbot" than you think.

I have not attempted to characterize Mr. Robinson's postions one way or the other.
