re: #164 steroid

I’ve been reading this trend here and on the right-wing blogs, and I’m curious as to how LGFers think I should react.

I am, in my personal politics, a radical libertarian. I believe that government, particularly at the national level, should be limited to the adjudication of personal crimes (bodily injury or property damage caused through force or fraud), contract disputes, and defending against foreign enemies. I believe that liberals and conservatives are both interfering with freedom for other values which I do not hold as high.

Now I see one party moving away from compromise politics and toward a stricter ideology more in line with mine. Asking the people here who are pragmatists and centrists, why should I not support this movement? And as a more pertinent question, what in your opinion should I do to advance my politics? (if there is anything you think I should do; answering that I am obligated to change or compromise my beliefs is a valid opinion)

Ah, you speak libertarian, the party that that is and always will be… the party of the future.
