Ray Whitaker Fanaticism has no business entering the public/political discourse. It's the only way to infiltrate the system (and I say that without seeming like there's some sort of covert plan afoot - there's not). It all comes down to presentation...

You are so very right, Ryan. So what is the best way for us to get the word of what the LP is to others? And the LP itself can do much more to get the word out. This site seems to be growing day by day, and we all need to do what we can to increase our members

And to the people who disagree with others on this site, you really need to temper your comments here because hate speech will just turn others away from here. Hate speech makes us look so much like the other parties.

Christopher Jantz dont trust Beck...he's just the controlled opposition. He bashed Ron Paul in '08 and is now acting like he started all this opposition to both parties... He is a JOKE.

Glenn Beck has repeatedly said on his program that he is not a journalist, and that what he is reporting is not in any way news. Rather, he is paid to give his opinion - even Mr. Beck acknowledges how ridiculous that concept is.

Glenn Beck is a proponant for our constitution. Most of the points that he makes on his program are related to our constitution and our bill of rights. And yes, Glenn Becks role on FOX news is not to report news, any more than Keith Olbermanns views on MSNBC have anything to do with reporting the news. And a survey shows that the majority of Americans rely on Jon Stewert and the Daily show to give them their news. How sad it that? People rely on a comedy show to shape their opinions?

No we should respond to outside threats that harm americans, but tell me what freedom we protected when we invaded Iraq, a country with no power to harm us, our bombs fuel terrorism. I support stomping out osama bin laden but you dont do that by reconstructing governments.

To defend our decision to invade Iraq is a very long and a very complicated discussion. And I will not take the time nor the space on here to argue something that is already done, and Iraq is already better for it, and Iraq will continue to grow and improve over the years. And our world is really better off now, and will continue to get better in... Read More the future. And Afganistan is already much better off since our presence there. And I do believe in the LP's stance that our military should only be here to protect our borders, and not to be the policeman of the world. But since we did invade Iraq, and we are fighting in Afganistan, I do look to the positives that we are doing to help the innocent people there

Kevin, so you have now admitted that you do not watch the new Glenn Beck, that you base your opinions from the past. And I was a strong republican, but the republican party is no longer what they said they were. And the LP most reflects the values that I believe in. Kevin, you admit that you are a socialist, so you should stick with your ... Read Moredemocratic party, because they are leading us toward socialism. You do not know anything about the LP, so you need to study some more. Or just go back to being a democrat.

"A new 5.4 percent surtax would be imposed on wealthy individuals and families, and sales of medical devices would be taxed." http://www.newarkadvocate.com/article/20091108/NEWS01/911080306

Did any of you wake up and feel less money in your pocket books, bill folders etc. ? How does the president and his followers jus...t pass this health care bill and make folks who have a " lil mo " money give it away.

Who will stand up for those that do make more money and fight for them. Why are they just attacked in this manner? Anyone have any views about this?

Good morning folks :)

Constance I am new to this party, but my views have been this way for a long time, most of my life, 50 of them :).. There are things I need to research, but I look forward to everyones view. I am totally against BIG GOVERMENT. It is a stripping and dipping of what I call MINE.

Constance, if you want research material, go to libertarianism.com for many discussions on the libertarian philosophy and go to mises.org for a good dose of Austrian/libertarian economic theory.

I think we desperately need a national referendum to stop the Federal Government from openly violating its constitutional limitations. The Constitution was written for the common folk to understand; we don't need Federal Judges to tell us what the Constitution means (rather what they want it to mean). After all, we really don't have check and ...

Michael Joseph Darcy "We do not have two political parties in this country, America. We have one party; called the Big Government Party. The Republican wing likes deficits, war, and assaults on civil liberties. The Democratic wing likes wealth transfer, taxes, and assaults on commercial liberties. Both parties like power; and neither is interested in your freedoms." ~ Judge Andrew Napolitano

I'd vote for Napolitano in a flash if he ran for president. He is not only a libertarian, but a libertarian trained in constitutional law. Between him and Paul you'd have a formidable team.

To those with doubts about total privatization of healthcare, roads, education, etc. . . . If you are having problems completely buying in to the idea of unbridled laissez-faire capitalism think of it this way: Never in modern history has there been a government that has fully embraced laissez-faire capitalism. Those w...ho have come closest have seen a remarkable increase in the standard of living for ALL of it's citizens. On the other hand, those governments who have embraced socialism, communism, or other forms of collectivism have experienced economic collapse proportionate to their level of government control. We are at a turning point in America. We can give capitalism, absolute economic freedom, a chance or we can continue down the road of "stimulating" the economy to death. What will it be?Read More
