Re: Libertoonians

First, I have, too, and that is more or less a caricature of it you present. More like a straw man edition than a serious rendition. Just picking one example, on the environment, the part about courts for redress is in reference to government-driven environmental damage today being performed by an unaccountable government. The party treats environmental damage as an externality, one of the few places overarching regulation is necessary - but they also believe in individual rights, and thus the individual right to seek redress for violations of those regulations. Maybe you could read up on them.

And second - you're convinced the current two parties offer better solutions? I am serious in asking that. Maybe you are capable of a serious answer.

All I see in the Democrats' platform of the proposed democratic "socialism" is government-blessed captains of industry, in which we will have more or less recreated Colbertism.
