I think it’s valid to say many people just assume the problem is either with “the other party” or are accustomed to supporting their own representatives despite their dissatisfaction with incumbents. But also […]

As we discussed earlier Carl, I think there will be a push for Jeb but that Rubio will eventually get the establishment nod. However, I don’t see Rubio as “where the party is headed”, I see him as representing […]

Agreed. It’s understandable to be suspect of him considering what he’s said and done over the years regarding our ideas, Dr. Ron Paul and others. However he’s made a concerted effort to reach out to us as of late. […]

Agreed. I don’t mean to convey that I’m jumping on Beck’s bandwagon. I really just wanted to emphasize to the movement that we need to be more humble and welcoming and tactful in how we present our ideas.

I’m suspect but hopeful. His willingness to essentially renounce everything he’s stood for in terms of major policies the last several years in recent weeks and his pleading with libertarians to build coalitions […]

First of all, I’m not an Ojectivist-not by a long shot. Also, Rand hated libertarians. My point was not that having principles makes someone think they’re superior. If you’ll look back, I said principle is […]

I don’t think Beck is looking to join the LP or lead anything. The liberty movement is far, far bigger than the LP, (thank goodness). I think he just wants to bring people together on issues where they agree that […]

I don’t think Beck is asking anyone to call him libertarian in fact that’s his point and the point of this piece: I don’t care if someone is libertarian, a leftist, conservative, independent, whatever. If I can […]

I linked to an article discussing one of his efforts to thwart preemptive war in the last response. Also, I made no ad hominem comment. I didn’t attack you in any way, I remarked upon your claim that he was […]

Senator Paul worked to prevent war with Russia in 2011 and more recently to prevent harsher sanctions or a declaration for preemptive war with Iran: […]

I’d hardly describe either as lightweights, especially Senator Paul. Both are ambitious to be sure but hardly small players in GOP. Particularly with Paul who’s essentially held up several significant bills for […]

Such an act would not be “granting states the right to nullify the president’s executive orders.” The people through the states already possess that right, regardless of what the policy is. There is no sovereign […]

Also Jonathan, a quick note in regards to racism: as Dr. Paul has stated before, it’s simply a very ugly form of collectivism: the notion of identifying people by groups rather than as individuals and believing […]

Jonathan as the great political economist Frederic Bastiat stated, for those who advocate for state control, always presume that if we object to government doing it, that must object to it being done at all. This […]

Jane it’s difficult to say. There will never be another Ron Paul. He’s far too unique in personality and the manner in which he carries himself. But Amash, Thomas Massie, Ted Cruz (who was endorsed by both Ron […]

I think that’s debatable Shawn. The original Tea Party you’re right was fare more aligned with Paul’s views because it grew out of his 2008 campaign. I wouldn’t say it’s drifted to the “right” however, at least […]

Rand is the go to guy for the movement inspired by his father. He’s skilled enough as a politician to take the ideas of the liberty movement and actually implement them so that they can become tangible reality. […]

You’re* right.

Lincoln I’m not advocating for the same system we have now at all. I want government eradicated from matters such as marriage completely, as in all the way down to the local level. In short, eradicate “civil […]

Thanks to you both.

Corey, you still seem to have missed the point: I don’t advocate any government involvement in marriage, federal, state or otherwise. I agree with you no one has the right to tell someone what they can or can’t do […]

Cory, I appreciate your comments but it looks as though you just wanted to find someone to rant at since most of your remarks are completely unrelated to the piece, (some of them false altogether). The very point […]

For most of recorded history, marriage was viewed largely as a religious function; particularly as it is understood in the modern context of monogamy. Even before the dawn of Christianity, it was viewed as a […]

Nowhere in the article does it say anything about a “religious requirement” for anything. It states a historical fact that throughout most of American and world history, marriage has been a religious function. Its […]

Faith, I agree. It is tragic to see so many lives tossed away or become troubled by the events and nature of war. While it is true neither the media, nor the general population take into account how horrific war […]
