As a fellow Libertarian, it is nice to see a real one and not what many here in the South have used to name to represent.
Also, I think you have a decent chance in that area if it is still like it was when I lived in LA.
When was acting I did some temp work with Hughes just after GM purchased them and was at the LAX area campuses for a while, in all departments.
It is actually a lot more conservative in that area than many people would think... not like LA proper.
Also, the Libertarian ideal has a lot to offer true liberals (not feel-good hippie liberal), I often tell others that, as a Libertarian I associate myself with liberal ideals more than traditional conservative ideals.
Unfortunately, current definitions of liberal and conservative/Democrat and Republican have almost inverted and confusion ensues...
Good luck man and I look forward to hearing of your progress... I just posted on your bumper sticker thread.

Yeah, the LP is lousy with liberals these days. :-)

So, rkzen, you're a left-Libertarian? I'm a right-Libertarian.

Every time I say that, a bunch of the Leftoids around here squawk like chickens getting out from under the wheels. If they can get their protests into something coherent, it usually amounts to saying I'm really a Republican. I tell them you can often agree with Republicans without being one, but it never sinks in. Guess it wouldn't be as much fun for them if it ever did.

It depends on the issue... I can be very liberal or very conservative. I believe in freedom, but sometimes that means being free to help others and free to take responsibility for being an adult.
About 50/50. Anyone who is just one or the other is not thinking for themselves.

There are a couple of equivalents of "The World's Smallest Political Quiz" around. I don't have them both bookmarked, but the one that wasn't TWSPQ, I tested out 6 degrees right of center, out of a possibility of eight or so on either side of the liberal/conservative axis, and on the libertarian end of the libertarian/authoritarian axis by about two to two and a half degrees -- on the questions that were presented, anyway. I've never had a reason to really question the results: evidently I'm not crazily licentious, and definitely not a centrist any more, either.

Where did you score on the pompous windbag axis?

There are no left or right libertarians. Libertarians are neither conservative, nor liberal. They are an entirely different animal. You are not a libertarian of any kind except on bizarro world.

Bye the way, I have been officially endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus.

http://www.republicanliberty.org/can...6&cID=00004250

I may also be endorsed by the NRA, the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business), and I'm talking to tax groups, police associations, etc.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-04-2006, 07:03 PM

So.....you've sold your soul to the devil.

Hope it brings in some money, Man.

Check in with the California Pink Pistols chapters too.

I know a couple of the members. I'll give 'em a call

I didn't get very much for my soul either. Sheese, inflation sucks.

Seriously though they endorsed me without me even contacting them. One of their people contacted me.
