Are you a Libertarian?

I’m asking because many of the people I know are Libertarians; they simply don’t realize it. Why? Because for whatever reason, the Libertarian Party sucks at getting itself out there. (I can think of several reasons why folks don’t know about the Libertarians, but this post is to put the message out there, not to slam the mainstream media. That’s a post for another day.)

So. Let me ask you just one question:
Do you believe that “all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose”?*

Yes? Maybe investigating the Libertarian Party isn’t such a bad idea. In fact, I think it’s a great idea. Over the course of the next few days, I’m going to go over the Libertarian stance on many of the “hot topics” this election year. Are you feelin’ it? No? You will be. This is a party worth the hype, I promise.

You've got something to say? Great. That goes here. First timers have to go through the moderation process, but after that, you're all set. Unless you're a complete buttface.

P.S. I installed an EXCELLENT new comment plugin (IntenseDebate), so everyone is going to have to go through moderation all over again. Sorry about that, but I swear it's worth it!
