Okay, I’m still very mad about the LP nominating Bob Barr for President. There isn’t anybody that can convince me that someone who voted for The UnPatriot Act is a libertarian, much less the Libertarian nominee for President.

And even though I’ve ripped up my LP membership card, I’m not giving up on the libertarian cause. It just seems I may no longer have a National Party that shares my love for all that’s liberty, not just lower taxes. You can keep my money if it means I have to give up my liberty….Read the Blog..

Allen Buckley A Gem of A Libertarian

One gem in the upcoming season is the chance to vote for Allen Buckley for Georgia Senate. Buckley is a long-time Libertarian (never voted for the Patriot Act or Star Wars)

Buckley is the kind of Libertarian you vote for, so I’m going to spread the word about him.

Here’s What Buckley’s Website Lists as his priorities:

Primary Objectives

1. creating a realization among the public that the federal government must reduce in size and scope in order for the economy of the United States to survive;

2. providing the people of Georgia an alternative candidate to the “big 2” with respect to whom they can feel comfortable and conscionable about voting for;

3. reasonably reducing the size of the federal government and its role in individuals’ lives;

4. changing the income tax, Social Security and Medicare systems so that they are balanced, easily understandable, practical and actuarially sound;

5. emphasizing national security and protection from terrorism, but not practicing imperialism or anything like it;

6. taking action to preserve air quality and the environment in a practical manner;

7. helping solve the illegal immigration problem; and

8. helping change the U.S. so that it can potentially last indefinitely.

Long-Term Vision For The U.S.

I don’t believe that the U.S. should have an agenda of spreading democracy throughout the world. Instead, I believe that the U.S. should concentrate on maintaining a free market economy and maintaining the strongest military for an indefinite period of time, while maximizing individual freedom, minimizing taxes, protecting the environment and exercising fiscal responsibility. If these goals are to be attained, then our ship must change its course.

We need leaders who are intelligent and who have the best interests of the country at heart. Unfortunately, the primary goal of many of the elected officials and candidates of the two major parties is to get elected or to remain in power while satisfying the needs of the special interest groups that gave them money so that they could grasp or retain power.

If Only we had a Libertarian like Allen Buckley running for President. I’d vote for that
