Libertarians Speak Out

This is from the Mail Tribune of Southern Oregon -via Lucianne
We heard an awful lot about "limited government" from the mouths of Conservative Political Action Committee politicians as they held their annual conference. If I had a nickel every time a conservative said "limited government" and didn't mean it, I'd be a very rich man.
Unlike libertarians, most conservatives simply don't want small government. They want their own version of big government. Of course, they have done a pretty good job of fooling American voters for decades by repeating the phrases "limited government" and "small government" like a hypnotic chant....
....The fact is, liberals and conservatives both want gigantic government. Their visions sometimes look different from each other, but both are huge. The only Americans who truly want small government are libertarians.
Wes Benedict is executive director of the Libertarian Party.
I've posted only a small portion of this, but you need to read it all. 
After you read it, come back here and comment on it.  Let me know what you think.

  1. At this point in time Benedict is correct. The establishment Republican Party heads are deeply entrenched in K Street, J Street, and every other alphabet mess street in Washington, D.C. The both the Democrates and Republicans have become the "Wine and Cheese" Party. They don't like us and they don't understand us anymore. Throw ALL the bums out!
