I’ve only recently identified as libertarian, but I definitely say I do not identify as a member of the LP.

It’s easy to see how someone outside the libertarian mindset and not familiar with the LP would assume that this will encourage free thinking individuals to go away from the libertarian mindset and form their own parties. Truth of the matter is, this is just typical extremist LP BS and just a continuation of what has been going on for years.

PS: Facebook, please let me identify as a libertarian without identifying as a member of LP.

In fact, it might be schizo. Nominating charlatans like Bob Barr is the death knell, IMHO. While I’ve voted Libertarian in the past, the party isn’t perfect. In fact, it might be schizo.

A party that wants government to basically stay out of our lives could place minorities such as pagans in jepardey, so I think thinking of the Libertarian Party as a refuge for pagans is a bit delusional.
