Anybody else on board with Liberty?

Question

If the time is not right for a Liberty party to emerge, then the time may never come.

I do not recall a point in time when both parties have failed the principles of liberty and when so many Americans have become disenchanted with the parties as a result.

Yes there are good efforts now and then on behalf of Americans, but imagine an organized campaign committed to:
- free enterprise
- promising to stop making new laws except in case of emergency
- examining existing laws and carefully but steadily drawing back bureaucracy and laws that do more harm than good.
- privatizing all unnecessary and/or unconstitutional elements of the federal government
- recommitting to the constitution; getting/keeping the government out of our refrigerators, our cars, our light sockets, our pants (yes the gov has no business legislating abortion) and our wallets.

If this could come together, I expect you could hear crickets chirping at the DNC and RNC.

"Sounds like extreme conservatism to me."

Hardly. Look up the true meaning of 'liberalism'. 'Conservatism' is the ugly step-child of true liberalism. Modern 'liberalism' is simply the siezure of liberty based on environmental panic and class envy.

Answer 1

The Libertarian Party has existed for a long time. It's marginalized by the RNC and DNC because no one wants competition for what is essentially their chosen issues.

Most people don't even know the party exists, but it has for a long time. I'm a card-carrying member of the Party, but believe me, they will only ever elect local leaders.

Answer 2

In a materialistic nation that has become the epitome of crass consumerism, we have dozens, hundreds, and thousands of choices for everything from candy bars to family cars.
The only place we have very little choice is within our two-party political system, which has become corrupted by the monopoly created by the 'Republicrats'.
So, most voters choose not to vote for either of the two 'evils' instead of voting for the 'lesser of two evils'. That only allows the 'Republicrats' to further control, manipulate and dominate the whole political process. It's a stacked deck - in favor of the wealthy elitists, big corporations, industrialists, and powerful influences that don't want the 'common man' to participate in our election process. If "we the people" had more choices, we'd throw out all of the incompetent, arrogant, contemptible, thieving, lying, evil, crooked, corrupt career politicians and replace them with 'average' honorable people of integrity, honesty, credibility, common sense, decency, compassion, fairness, humility, servitude, and patriotic love for this country and its people.
Unfortunately, the hallowed halls of Congress are filled with shysters, sex offenders, thieves, crooks, liars, cheats, wife-beaters, alcoholics, drug abusers and tax evaders, most of whom are also that lowest of life forms: lawyers!!!
