The Libertarian Party has received the
blood, sweat, tears, and hopes of over two generations of activists,
people who were investing in a movement which represented their best
hope to turn back the forces of fascism now overwhelming our nation.
I was there, I remember.
These sacrifices were not made to build
and sustain a social club, or to allow a small group of people to
position themselves for their own profit.
The Libertarian Party was intended as a
tool to enact freedom, real freedom based on the principles of the
free market, honoring and protecting the human rights of all
humanity.
To date, the Libertarian Party has
accomplished nothing. Today, as Americans face immediate danger from
the state and teeter on the edge of economic disaster the Libertarian
Party continues to squabble over office space and raise money which
goes down the black hole of salaries.
Failing to learn from the mistakes
piled up by past movements, including those of Classical Liberalism
and Conservatism, the LP has been left in a back wash of political
irrelevancy, superseded by the Ron Paul Movement and then the Tea
Party and Occupy Movements.
Each of these later movements has
encountered the same problems which emasculated the LP, but these
more than ominous parallels have, also, been ignored.
Political parties, and other organizations are tools. They have
no real existence outside of our minds and the conventions of human
culture. Only people have rights, and the mission of the LP was
people, their lives, their ability to realize their hopes and care
for themselves and their families. A tool which has failed needs to
be hauled off to the Salvation Army so something that does work can
fill the void and do the job.
The statements above are assertions
which many will recognize as true immediately. However, many
activists and people in the public are unaware of what happened.
Here, we fill in the gaps in knowledge.
When we, as individuals, understand
what happened we can take corrective action, avoid the mistakes and
deceptions of the past, and move forward to get the job done.
We say NO to reinventing the square wheel.
We say NO to reinventing the square wheel.
There are many of us who know the
truth. Will, Gail, and I are going to start filling in those gaps so you
can see what happened and why. If you have questions, contact us.
