The Libertarian Party of Tennessee is holding an organizational meeting this Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the following location:
New China Buffet

Is the Libertarian Party serious about defending the freedoms of expression set forth and guaranteed in the First Amendment or are they just a bunch of cheap tin pot Republicans angry about having to pay a few taxes?

Question posed: "Is the Libertarian Party serious about defending the freedoms of expression set forth and guaranteed in the First Amendment or are they just a bunch of cheap tin pot Republicans angry about having to pay a few taxes?"
Wait a minute--Is this a poll? Where do I vote? ;-)
Question?
Oh, I thought he was just being rhetorical.
Be a blessing to someone today.
Reckon there's enough folks
Reckon there's enough folks who would vote Libertarian in east Tennessee to split the Republican vote? Maybe this is a good thing. The answer to your questions are no and yes.
There are two types of Libertarians...
The kind that want drugs to be legalized so they can do more drugs and not get arrested for it.
And the kind that wants drugs to be legalized so that the first group overdoses and dies and thus helps the gene pool.
In all seriousness, I've met quite a few Libertarians that were nothing short of scumbags. Telling me that people should be allowed to suffer and die if they can't afford medicines/housing/whatever. Social Darwinists in other words.
Paul:
Big L libertarians tend to believe nutty things that would only work for a society composed entirely of people who are healthy, young, and of above-average intelligence. Luckily hardcore libertarians usually give up their unworkable ideas after a while, and once that happens they're generally OK.

Luckily hardcore
Or, alternatively, they run for President and go to the grave with their nutty ideas.
