If no party really wants align themselves with this movement, then I think its a good movement for America. Flush out the weasels I say. |
Actually opa stated they "adopted libertarian ideals". Nice how people see what they want to see. But I understand as I've met many like you before. Also remember, I said "for the most part, I agree" when dealing with what opa said. Meaning you have no idea which parts I agreed with and which I didn't. But I guess assumption is just as good right.
But no I throw them under the bus because they use my political beliefs as a way of political gain and whining... or at least how I personally perceive it. Use my beliefs like an extra ace up the sleeve and I don't approve of it. It's disrespectful to me and other libertarians. Shouldn't have to sell my sould to the devil just for the sake of a bunch of paranoid people to make my beliefs mainstream. But as I stated I'm a little biased on the situation.
