What you said is very straightforward and very clear. I would support that.

There is a growing states rights movement across the country. If the Libertarian Party were to jump on that and emphasize how that reflects the Constitution, I think they would increase their support.

Maybe I'm just not aware, but I sense that the LP strongly believes in the principle of States Rights but may not currently be using that as a vehicle to get their message out.

I don't actually consider myself to be a Libertarian--just libertarian.

I am not aware of the party's ideals, principals, etc. I just think that good, old-fashioned conservatism should be libertarian as that is the way our Constitution set up this country.

The article is correct in at least one thing--libertarians spend most of their lives being very frustrated at the political landscape. It could explain the flurry of "end-times" talk going on around. That frustration between what we see and what we believe is going to happen as a result of what is going on tends to lend itself very well to end-times type of thinking.

Personally, I tend to agree with it. Now that Zero has weakened our presence around the world, Russia and Iran are going to start leaning quite heavily on Israel, and things are just going to go downhill from here.
