I think this is the single most largest challenge to Libertarianism we have today. It is my unproven faith that Libertarianism would simply and naturally skyrocket to prominence as a hip and relevant political force in our times, IF ONLY people understood what it is fundamentally about. It is, more than anything, the people’s ignorance of what the word means that is the greatest impediment to our success and man-on-the-street normality.
I’d also like to comment that although libertarian ideals and precepts sometimes coincide with Republicrat du jour positions, libertarian values stem from a completely independent source, a source which is based in fixed fundamental principles of personal intrasocietal property & liberty sovereignty.
The fact that those positions may overlap Demopublican positions is more a matter of happenstance than one of libertarians being a hybrid of the other two Parties.

Thank you very much, Wickle. I think that any strong third party would help democracy in America and honesty in politics, and the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party seem to be the strongest third parties by a few different measures.

Very good comments. I like your writing. I do think that a strong, hearty Libertarian Party would do great things for this country. Certainly, it would help keep the two major parties more honest.
