Many of you probably think Libertarians are close to right wing nutjobs, but it is not true. Libertarians come from both sides of the
common fence/common sense.
People do not understand (because they do not value) staunch individual freedom.
So the Republicans look at the Libertarian plank that says what you do to your own body is absolutely no one's business but your own, and all they can see is a burned out hippie wanting pot to be legalized.
And Democrats look at the plank that opposes government involvement in trades and professions and can only see anarchy and exploitation.
I keep a barf bag by the computer because in every discussion of Libertarianism som moron is bound to pipe up and say, "Well, if we didn't have government regulation, Monsanto would take over the world."
It's because they neither understand nor value freedom.
