Laughing at the Libertarian Party

America is defined by the Declaration Of Independence, forming a federal government through the US Constitution, with residuals from the Articles Of Confederation, British Common Law, and other forms of argumentation. Without all of these, "In God We Trust" as a Christian nation though all are generally welcome provided that you are civil, it does not make sense to have self-governance in America. Either we recognize what forms our governance, or we will be ignored by the "res publica".

https://www.lp.org/about/ Either most, or no, political organization respects one as a unique and responsible individual. I fail to see the Libertarian Party (l'pee) as the only one, when they can't even recognize that they, too, have a government for their own party yet say that they fail to see government as having either no responsibility or only the responsibility to preventing "force and fraud" against persons. They say they oppose "any government interference" yet expect to be able to run a City Council which must interfere in its jurisdiction as a government to help make sure that a city is able to function for all who live in it. Perhaps we should be focused on if government is good or not before trying to "reduce the size and intrusiveness of government" or before we "cut and eliminate taxes". Maybe those are there for a reason, given that even the Israelites had a tithe of 10% of everything they had back in the days after Moses before Christ came in. Hell, Christ said that everything should be devoted to Christ. Also, mentions of "peaceful, honest people" call me to question "what is peaceful?" and "what is honesty?" given that even Christ, when on this earth, refused to call himself good yet said "God alone is good" while also pointing out that he was God... Yet what, am I supposed to think of myself as "peaceful, honest" if I join the Libertarian Party yet no one else is? Is this merely a country club like most Christian communities? The party "run[s] hundreds of candidates every election cycle" which "rang[es] from City Council to President of the United States" yet are there not hundres of cities, towns, and other municipalities in addition to legislatures and what not before we even get to the federal level? Why is this not thousands? And y'all's been around since 1971? Y'all's seriously think you can compete with the Democrats and Republicans with these low numbers? lmao What even is "libertarian" or "liberty"? How can I trust that you will "give liberty a voice" if I am not aleady doing that, myself? Why should I care about you being the "party of principle"? It doesn't seem like your principles are worth a dime.

https://www.lp.org/libertarian-national-committee/ The Libertarian Party is generally seen as a joke which is why I laugh at them, but it's coming from a place of love. Y'all's have a decent organizational structure. Fix your policies and figure out what you stand for, and surely you can do a decent job and finally effect change. Regardless, be a good joke such that we can laugh together when you finally become a real political party, okay?

https://www.lp.org/platform/ Not quite sure how any of this has consistent principles. Also, the principles aren't exactly seeming to lead to a logical conclusion of the specific policies advocated but yet are not actual goals of the party. I dunno. Y'all's seem to be a joke. It's a nice idea, sure, but... I fail to see how you guys could truly govern anything. Sorry.

Using: https://www.lp.org/issues/taxes/ You pay your taxes because someone had to print the money and also you don't know just how much the government makes your life liveable to the quality of life standard that you expect. NIST makes your peanut butter able to be as cheap as it is by making standard peanut butter that Skippy and other manufacturers use to calibrate their equipment to keep their consumers happy and also to retain that "taste" which you notice as different from other brands. Plus, as a veteran, someone else is now in the military and they should be paid. Social Security is stupid but it should be paid since, well, it was already promised to this generation and every other generation. Instead of paying it with taxes, we should just print the money which we give to grannie. I don't think it is wrong to coerce a criminal with force to stop mugging me. The Libertarian Party is inherently wrong and should have no role in a serious society.

https://www.lp.org/issues/the-economy America is "free enterprise" and not capitalist. Capitalism comes from Marxist thought on communism, given that Marxism is a purely economic conception such that communism is generally non-profit and capitalism is for-profit whereas socialists don't actually do what they say they do (they think they are gods and can be like gods yet then everything collapses over time because they are not gods). No one has the freedom to sell both of their kidneys as goods, services as a hitman, nor the freedom to take their neighbor's life as a sacrifice, dinner, or slave. Most people are retarded, so they don't run their businesses very well; also, most people don't have the strong desire and fortitude to become a billionaire which is why they do not end up as billionaires. It's fine, we generally enjoy our position in life though we do expect that, over time, our lot in life is better than when we started it. Government is also an actor in the free market by both being a consumer of it and also that which protects a nation's boundaries from the free market while keeping the black market from being too disruptive to good order. Markets are always free, the black market will find a way. The issue is, we do not wish to see slaves or people selling both kidneys or also selling their children to be eaten and definitely not having grannie turned into glue like the horses that break a leg (or a hip). Innovation is caused by limitations, given that we try to find a way around those limitations and end up realizing that one way of doing things is better than a different way of doing things. It is a confiscation of property to expect the government to make the "instrument of value" called money which is why taxes are necessary. Also, we should serve that which serves us to keep it around; the government still standardizes peanut butter for companies to calibrate their equipment such that their brand retains the same consistency per jar and also that taste which you prefer over a competitor, for cheap. Without government to allow for the ability to "engage in peaceful and honest trade", we would be engaging in hostile and unjust trade. Actually, what does "honest trade" even mean? There is a "fair price" in philosophy, I believe, yet also there's justice in "getting what you deserve". Truthful trade? What happens if someone commits fraud, who is going to prosecute fraud and also notice or even verify that fraud even occurred? Peace and truth are difficult to obtain without a big stick held by a detached observer. The economy also includes logistics and other things, rather than just making stupid candles that smell like weirdo cellars where people put the lotion on the skin or it gets the whips again yet pretend they do chants to some all-powerful being where monks truly just beat each other over the head with sticks for not sitting right, when there is no right way to sit, and say nothing for years at a time. Though if I were a pilgrim on a rickity boat that made it to a place in Massechusetts and wanted a cigar... Ply mouth, I would grow a tobacco farm and make my own cigars!

https://www.lp.org/issues/civil-liberties/ This is a bit easier to sum up as "what are you talking about?" given that there's all these random things thrown together without real substance. Drug crimes, internet freedom, government surveillance, Fourth Amendment "rights" (Fourth Amendment is a restriction on government, it does not give us rights. The rights we have are called to attention by the Declaration Of Independence), randomly talking about "asset-forfeiture laws", and myriad other things. Randomly thrown together. Americans already have a proper way of discussing about liberty. Why not use that? Why are you trying to re-invent the wheel? This isn't even a solid stance like what the Founding Fathers had. "live in whatever manner they choose" ... what It seems more like an echo chamber of rich kids trying to appeal to everyone, more than it seems a serious attempt at running the government and establishing a vision.

https://www.lp.org/issues/crime-and-justice/ Apparently drugs are the true issue that makes our justice system broken. It's not that we have a population of people trying to let criminals go free and also that people don't even know what crimes are any more. Generally, crimes can indeed be seen as "force or fraud" yet insurrection is not necessarily force or fraud, but it would still be seen as a crime by a good state and a bad state, for reasonable reasons. Why are drugs the issue? Also, just how difficult is it to find criminal offenders of rape and murder even if the police had more resources? Cities are easy to hide in; also, there is a lot of places to hide in when you are close to rural or suburb areas on the outskirts of cities. If the logical trail to the criminal does not exist, then how could the police find them whether they had few or little resources? How accurate is the evidence which they have for those crimes, and also how reliable is the evidence? Sure, you have DNA evidence yet how do you know that you got the right DNA of the criminal suspect? Plus, not all "victims" are victims. They could be coming to the police in a lying fashion to go after an ex. They could be manipulating the police. It's just just that a true victim may not be believed, it's also that the police may waste resources on a false victim than a true victim. There's a lot to be considered regarding our criminal justice system. How is it broken if it still works as a system that gives us some idea that people are still prosecuted and that people still serve jail time? The reason why it appears broken isn't that the statistics are showing things, but rather that it isn't a world where we expect crime to occur around us unless we know that we are in gang lands. It is weird to say that the government acts immorally by saying "what is and is not acceptable for people to consume" yet you expect them to tell you that supplements don't work for giving you vitamins, medicines need to be regulated and some only given by pharmacies, and then also expecting the FDA to be ensuring the safety of every single thing that you want to buy and put in your body with marketing saying it will give you a "brain boost" or provide "mental clarity" and other things that are immeasurable. Perhaps it is not the justice system which is broken, but the expectation system.

https://www.lp.org/issues/education/ Apparently Libertarians advocate "free-market" (buzzword) education yet don't like the government, an entity on the free market, being involved in education. So fraud, here, by the "party of principle TM". Also, I don't think the Department Of Education truly has that much power, except through convincing the individual states' Departments Of Education to go with what the Federal one does and wants. Truth is what a true "one-size-fits-all" solution would be. I have no clue why children would have any reasonable choice to make regarding their education, except when they are adults and going into higher education. Yet, even then, higher education is expensive precisely because no one goes there for education but for "benefits" that can only ever be performed by an individual, themselves; as such, universities are held to an impossible standard of providing benefits and, as such, they just take more of your money since you are forcing your way into the highway of hell despite universities wanting to keep you on the pathway to heaven, and they may as well increase their quality of life if they are going to be surrounded by retards like you. Government subsidies also come in such that, well, shouldn't the payer have some say, too? Yet the government isn't supposed to have any claim on education, even if they are helping fund it? Ridiculous. A distant agency can find the general policy of truth for all other agencies more local to children and students and teachers which can be fruitful in lowering costs of education while improving quality of that education. Yet we are being ridiculous and, quite frankly, quite Marxist with the Laws Of Supply and Demand to make "public policy", politics, which doesn't make education better. What principle is here besides "my freedom"? "pro-liberty" yet it's just "do whatever I want" (freedom) instead of "able to do what I ought" (liberty). Ought. Not want. Obligations. I also show off my book, available as a free PDF, at https://www.linktr.ee/hackingcovfefe . Probably better for a self-education guide than wasting money on education as well as wasting your vote and time on the Libertarian Party. Oh, the Government, through the US Navy, has like 300 books on things from music to mail management to electronics and electricity. Try utilizing those more. And, uh, have you ever considered reading the Bible? History, wisdom in proverbs, songs, and all kinds of things like management (of the church) and mediation. Wow. A true libertarian approach is not found in the Libertarian Party, "l' party of l' principle (TM)".
