Celebrate! It's Mr. Lung's Liberty Inspired Coming Out Party!
Libertarianism is the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others. Libertarians defend each person's right to life, liberty, and property -- rights that people have naturally, before governments are created. -- David Boaz
ENOUGH! I'VE HAD IT! I'M COMING OUT!
That's right, dear readers. For fear of becoming the political philosophy version of Mike Quade -- a bumbling, stumbling, titan of passivism -- I hereby do OFFICIALLY shed my clamorous cloak of association with the Democratic Party and declare my NEW allegiance to...
LIBERTARIANISM.
I.
Am.
Libertarian.
That's right. I'm sick of the two-party volleyball match of blame whilst doing nothing to solve the problems. I'm tired of the false hope and broken (read: improbable) promises of the status quo. I will no longer tolerate the pompous stuffed statists sucking up 30% of my income... and, for what? To put my country in debt by the trillions? To send my brothers and sisters off to die in TWO wars that we shouldn't even be fighting? No, sir. I won't propagate that.
So I've filled up on David Boaz, drunk my fill of Bastiat and now I'm ready to party like it's 1831, y'all!
Recall how earlier in the week, while dissecting the train wreck of options present during the most recent Republican debate, I alluded to the fact that, indeed, despite all the loony tunes, there is another candidate I am willing to support. Well, you can bet yer sweet @$$ that man's name is DR. RON PAUL, and that though he is thrown in with the evangelical pandering GOP, he is about as far from a "Republican" as a modern liberty-driven truthfinder can be. He is my man going forward towards 2012 and beyond.
My friends, it is time for us to take back our liberties from the corporate thumbsucking suits in Washington disguised as our "representatives". Let's get out of Iraq. Let's get out of Afghanistan. Let's shut down the fed, pay our bills and STOP KILLING THE MIDDLE CLASS.
We Libertarians would be honored if you join us.
Don't hate me 'cuz I"m right.
PARTY ON!
Jeff
