Nice caricature having nothing to do with the article or the argument.
Being a libertarian, btw, may have nothing to do with the so-called Libertarian Party.
Want to know why the Republican lost in the last election? Look at the party’s attitude towards libertarians - totally crap and based on nonsense. You’re in a party that’s more interested in attracting homosexuals and illegals than people who believe in free markets and laissez-faire government.
The Republican Party earned 0bama as much as the Dims. Their attitudes on libertarians is one way Repubs worked it all out.
I favor many of the Libertarian Party ideas, and off and on I am a member of the party itself.
Personally, I think the Libertarian Party would have much more influence if it ceased being a political party and became instead a political action group or club similar to the NRA, AARP, or even a community reform organization similar to ACORN ( but moral and ethical in its actions).
