re: #219 goddamnedfrank

No thanks. I have no interest in legitimizing the State’s rights racism the Libertarian Party represents. They oppose basic protections like Article 2 of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and basic workplace safeguards against abuse of employees. They say racism and religious bigotry is repugnant and irrational but support the right of private businesses to discriminate on the basis of race and religion. They oppose government marriage licenses, because gays can marry now and this is their way of nominally “supporting” gay marriage while denying denying everyone the official legal benefits of marriage as a result. Libertarians want to go back to a laissez faire free market healthcare market where people with pre-existing conditions can be denied insurance.

They really are an absolutely toxic sniveling little shit Party that, regardless of how bad the GOP may be, shouldn’t be legitimized in any way.

Well, perhaps if the GOP goes down hard (with or without the Libertarians), we will enter another Era of Good Feelings after the USA’s First Party system collapsed.
