LP platform

Makes for thought provoking reading even if you disagree. Might dispel some misconceptions.

Misconceptions, my big fat ass! The opening page and sentence is total poop, right out of the box:

With a picture of the AMERICAN Statue of Liberty and the AMERICAN flag on it... GET THIS STRAIGHT! THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS NOT MY WORLD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

So...

<h1>US imperialist libertarians, stick it up your A.....</h1>

What the hell are you talking about. Libertarians are the furthest thing from imperialists. Obviously you don't have a clue. Honestly, noone can really be that dense.

Not to mention the fact that it's an AMERICAN political party...

From http://www.lp.org/organization/:

Quote:
The Libertarian Party is a U.S. political party and is not formally affiliated with parties in other countries. For information about libertarian-oriented parties and organizations in other parts of the world, contact the International Society for Individual Liberty.
I think Zep has just shown conclusively that we can number him along with the other anti-Libertarian bigots on this board. Any old pathetic excuse to try and discredit them...

I’ve seen that the anti-freedom foreigners have come out in full force. It seems that freedom is still a dangerous and scary idea to the archaic thinkers.

"Liberterianazi" is an oxymoron, using that term just shows the depth of your ignorance and/or hatred of freedom.


So you deny being a "liberteriannazi", but you dont deny being a "child molester-steal-candy-from-a-blind-baby bigots"?

How long does it take you to come up with these witty come-back lines?

Ok, Jackass, so I post a link to US Libertarian Party platform and you get hysterical and essentially try to shout me down by posting a bunch of links to British political parties. Your only motive, as far as I can tell, is to discourage other people from learning what the LP platform is (and what the **** do you care, not even living here and all) if they choose to. Is there some particular reason why you don't want others to see what is in the Libertarian platform?

I mean, if people don't like or agree with the platform, they can decide that for themselves can't they? Do they really need you to do that for them? And unlike the many political parties you have in England and unlike the major parties in this country many people not really know or understand what the Libertarians are all about and what they have to offer. If they don't like what they are about or what they have to offer, that is fine, but they sure don't need a******s like you doing their thinking for them. You don't like it, don't click on it and don't read it.
