LOL no, I'm a FORMER Libertarian. I picked the links only for the data they contained, did not look at their political bent. Guess maybe I should start,

That party has become what they used to claim to be against. I was a active member 1978 through about 2002 or so and as a officer during 20 of those years. They started to support socialist ideas such as public education and taxes. Once they did that I was done. Guess that's an idea for a future substack. How the Libertarian Party is no more. Since I quit in disgust on the local level they ran a flaming socialist, on the national level "ex CIA " spook Bob Barr, the always high Gary Johnson and the outright Marxist William Weld. During that time they had a National Chair Nick Sawark - a flaming socialist. National while I was an officer refused to boot people that are crazy, and you have to be crazy to think libertarianism and socialism / communism are compatible. Right now that party has no standards except - are you sucking air? Okay you're a libertarian.

Thanks for the comment, I learned something here
