I have never been a fan of the Libertarian Party. Actually, I rather despise them. They give true Libertarians like myself a bad name. Most of the Libertarian Party’s platform is asinine, having very little to do with actual liberty. Only a small percentage of the membership are true Libertarians. The rest only identify as Libertarians because the think that word sounds cool.
This past week Donald Trump spoke at this year’s Libertarian Pary convention, hoping to possibly garner their endorsement. A sizable percentage of those in attendance behaved rather childishly, they booed and raised a ruckus with kazoos that were passed out by convention organizers. That was nothing compared to the immaturity the membership demonstrated when they chose their nominee.
For decades, the Libertarian Party was the edgier conscience of the Republican Party. It was louder and prouder about wanting a small government rather than the behemoth that Republicans helped birth. However, libertarians still recognized that smaller government must be grounded in the Constitution and morality. For example, Ron Paul’s pro-life stance reflected the fact that constitutional liberty starts with the first spark of life. This year, however, the Libertarian Party abandoned the Constitution and nominated a presidential candidate indistinguishable from the most radical people in Biden’s base. That’s good for Trump.
There has often been animosity between Conservatives and Libertarians. Here is one of the primary reasons.
Frankly, most people really don’t think about the Libertarian Party. Depending on their political orientation, they either resent or celebrate it when the 2-3% of votes it gets in every election harm a Republican candidate in a close race.
This election I believe the Libertarian presidential candidate will steal more votes from Biden than Trump for this reason:
Now, the Libertarian Party has gone even further down the path to irrelevance because of its chosen presidential candidate, a guy named Chase Oliver. Oliver is essentially a rehashed far-left Democrat. Indeed, he was once a Barack Obama supporter. He is gay, pro-trans, pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-drugs, and pro-Hamas. However, he’s all in for big government when it comes to masks, vaxes, and lockdowns.
In other words, Oliver is indistinguishable from any other member of the Democrat party. He’s not supporting a small, moral, pro-American government; he’s just a radical leftist who’s found a welcoming new niche.
This article documents the radical positions held by Mr. Oliver. I read thru the article and came to the conclusion that he is fine with all forms of tyranny as long as the tyranny is perpetrated by private groups rather than by governments. This includes forced masking by businesses and liberal mob rule in the form of transgender ideology.
The Babylon Bee wrote a perfect satire article summing up this farce.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Libertarian Party has concluded its convention and nominated its latest presidential candidate: a 20-foot-tall, rainbow-colored, glass bong.
The gay, oversized marijuana smoking device edged out candidates RFK Jr., Donald Trump, and Sparklepaws the Transgender Furry to secure the coveted nomination to run for President this November.
