Andrea Harris is the Fox News guest blogger and showcases former US Libertarian Party candidate Harry Browne‘s wit and wisdom.
So will people please just read this and then stop asking me why I keep saying that Browne and his Libertarian Party do not define libertarianism in the USA. Guys, face facts… as long as you have a barking moonbat like Browne who thinks a libertarian society could survive contact with reality in the manner he advocates, the vast majority of US libertarians will continue to either vote Republican or if they cannot stand that, just not vote at all.
There are a lot of great people in the US Libertarian Party. Unfortunately those folks are not the ones running it.
Update: As many e-mails have pointed out (and indeed as I alluded to on my final line above), many LP members both take a very rational view regarding the current war and do not think either Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan were ‘provoked’ by the mean old USA and Britain into World War II and if we had only been nicer to nice Mr. Hitler all that nastiness could all have been avoided. After all, our own Dale Amon has LP ties and he is extremely ‘sound of mind and sharp of sabre’ on all such issues.
Nevertheless, some LP remarks ‘from the top’ since September 11th have indeed fallen into the tinfoil hat and black helicopter category of barking moonbat mating calls… and this is rather a problem for me. Getting rid of Browne is certainly a start but his whole associated idiotarian meme stream is going to be decisively flushed down the toilet as a minimum pre-requisite for getting many pukka libertarians to even touch the LP with a barge pole.
