Libertarians believe that the equal rights of all people matter all the time. No exceptions.

These liberties are not mere privileges granted by the government, but inalienable rights inherent to every individual. 

The Libertarian Party stands as a steadfast defender of these rights, unwavering in our commitment to protect them against any form of government intrusion.

Our stance is clear: personal freedoms such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and the right to privacy must be upheld at all costs. These rights are essential for a thriving society, allowing for a diversity of thoughts and beliefs, fostering innovation, and enabling citizens to hold their government accountable.

We recognize that once these liberties are compromised, the path to authoritarianism is short. History is replete with examples where the erosion of civil liberties under the guise of security or order has led to the suppression of dissent and the curtailment of personal freedoms. 

We refuse to let history repeat itself on our watch.

We also understand that protecting civil liberties means standing up for the rights of individuals, even when their views or actions are unpopular. This is not always easy or politically expedient, but it is necessary for the preservation of a free society. Whether it's defending the right to peaceful protest, fighting against unwarranted surveillance, or opposing laws that unfairly target specific groups, our commitment to civil liberties is unwavering.

The Libertarian Party champions a society where civil liberties are respected and protected. In an era where these liberties are increasingly under threat, our message is both a call to action and a reminder: to be vigilant, to be courageous, and to stand united in the defense of our civil liberties. 

For in doing so, we preserve the very essence of freedom, liberty, and the autonomy to live your life as you wish.//

Republican In Name Only

A Republican In Name Only by Les Govment revised 5-13-2023 127 views Anyone very familiar with me on Twitter is aware that I'm a fan of Rand Paul. Of people who have been in Congress, only Ron Paul comes closer to me than Rand on the issues.   Neither of the Pauls have been labeled as RINO's. Former President Donald Trump has not been labeled a RINO, either. The RINO label has mainly been reserved for the likes of people like Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney, who definitely deserve the label. (Frankly, I think a lot of the Republicans in Congress deserve the RINO label.) I'm glad that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump governed better than Clinton would've, and in his first 3 years, Trump governed better than I expected. He cut regulations-- which made doing business in America more attractive. His foreign policy was more restrained than his two predecessors. And he improved the line up at the Supreme Court. Then covid hit.   Instead of rejecting the nonsens...

Left's Authoritarian Slippery Slope

THE LEFT'S AUTHORITARIAN SLIPPERY-SLOPE Many on the left have become quite intolerant authored August-December 2016 by Les Govment   572 views Educators and historians typically classify Nazism as being politically on the right, often labeling it "far right." That's no surprise, since most educators are on the political left. As for the politics of historians, I think it's safe to say it's likely that a sizable portion of historians are also left-of-center. Given the groupthink that dominates the politically-engaged left, it would be quite difficult to find an American progressive who wouldn't adamantly insist that Nazism should retain its right-wing classification. That classification has become old and worn out, unsound and outdated. I'm glad to see that many people have come to see that the Nazis were not conservatives. Since "conservative" and "right-wing" are basically synonyms, it's illogical to categorize Nazism as right-...

Revisiting Waco

REVISITING WACO Not geographically, but in memory by Les Govment 160 views  It was a crisp autumn day in 1984 when I first met Jimmy Riddle outside the entrance to a church in Waco, Texas. As I approached the entrance, he greeted me and introduced himself. Shortly thereafter we found ourselves engaged in conversation. We had gotten so caught up in the conversation that by the time we were done, the church service inside was coming to an end. Jimmy told me he was a member of the Branch Davidians, who were split into two groups at the time. One group-- which Jimmy was a part of-- followed David Koresh and were staying in a house in Waco. The other group was loyal to George Roden, son of the Davidians' founder. Roden controlled Mt Carmel Center, which was the Davidians’ residential and church property, just east of Waco. (For the record, I never met Koresh or Roden.) I eventually visited Jimmy at the house in Waco. There I met several other Davidians, including a man about 60 named Pe...
