Because the Democrats and Republicans have given us so much to be thankful for.

You’re labeling an entire party from something you dug up on Twitter?

Good job.

Ron Paul is a libertarian. The libertarian party is not.

there is no exit you'd be able to take that didn't involve federal permission. That should scare the frick out of everyone.


Don't need a wall for that. If government doesn't a person to leave, they can notify the border patrol. When your passport is checked, your not allowed to cross border. Am I missing something?

Despite the manifold faults of the GOP, has it ever been clearer that the only electorally meaningful place for libertarian (or even “liberty-interested”) Americans is the Republican Party? Once the Democrats ceded the field on free speech, where else to go?
The problem here is Repubes like McCain, McConnell, Graham, Romney, etc... means a vote for the GOP is a vote for the right wing of the Deep State and is at best a vote for the status quo.

The status quo is simply unsustainable. At some point gravity is going to take over and it is not going to be a soft landing for any of us:



The current crisis continues until enough true supporters of the principles of limited government come to this undeniable conclusion. As it is, I expect things to get much, much worse before they get better.

I took the OP picture as reference to Kamala Harris' insensitive Memorial Day weekend tweet of "Enjoy the long weekend".

The leaders always seem to be crazy . One of the leaders in our county was on the socialist Facebook page agreeing with them on school board candidates. If we ever have 3rd party get real votes it will be a new party .

This was covered by dozens of blue check MAGA/libertarian accounts today.

I follow the party and support most of their planks.

The NH party is the bedrock of the movement and the leader of the free state project.

That’s not fringe. It’s a blue check mainstay if the group.

So when are you inviting all of those illegals into your house to stay for weeks or months until they can find some housing or place to live. Will you be buying groceries for the and cooking for them?

I'm ok with legalizing all drugs, just don't ask for me to pay for rehabilitation or medical care for those who choose to abuse them. Or anything else that libertarians choose to not accept responsibility for.

Hey chief. You’re paying for that now.

What has the “war on drugs” given us? An elevated body count in large cities and a flourishing black market.

Keep doing the same things.

They have a great message out the gate - but then go a little too hard and frick themselves into looney town.

The LP is why I make a concerted effort to identify myself as a small “l” libertarian.

The disease that is neoconservatism had most Republican voters in 2008 and 2012 thinking he was. Hell, go on YouTube and watch Dr. Paul on the Morton Downey show back in the late 1980's and you'll see just how far removed from limited government the average Reagan Republican was.
