I hate the Libertarian party.
Actually, that's wrong. I dislike the views of the Libertarian party.
They're liberals....kinda. They hold some liberal views that I most certainly agree with *stem cell research, abortion, gay marriage all = yes*...but they obviously aren't all liberal.
Their two main views are what really put me off from them. The first is one that might be good, and that is their view that we need a smaller government. We do need a smaller government, yes..but the Libertarians will make the thing so damned small we'll become the United Corporations of America because all the big companies will take over. This really needs to be finetuned and they need to think this through.
Then there's something that hits a personal spot with me, and that's the fact that they support the "right" to bear arms. As some of you know, my grandfather was shot in a robbery of his store by a gun that the holder claimed was to be used for self defense. If we were not allowed to have guns in the first palce, what the hell would we have to defend ourselves from? Some fists? If you care about your family and want to defend them with from violence, take some martial arts classes or something. Don't fucking shoot people.
They're getting to be a larger party and this worries me. I think I'd probably be a Republican before I would be a Libertarian.
