Telling your audience you're going to lose is not a good motivator.
that is true

I've been to plenty of those. I haven't met many nazi sympathizers. I assume that you are saying "since I don't know what either of those are I'll just say they're the same thing."
No. I am merely alluding to the well known and documented presence of racists within the Libertarian party. Case in point, when the current nominee said he's support the Civil Right Act, he was roundly booed. To their credit, the majority of Libertarians went on to nominate him, but you can't pretend the racist minority doesn't exist, and there is a long history of libertarians defending the liberty to discriminate.
I also shouldn't have to point out the relationship between white supremecists and anti government groups. I myself have detailed the philosophical relationship between modern libertarians and the slaveowning class of the South prior to this. I shouldn't have to point out that Nazism was influenced by slavery advocates in the USA (as well as colonialists in Europe) and how during the thirties and again during the civil rights movement, the ideas of nazism returned to influence white-supremecist thought.
Of course, you always act shocked when these things are pointed out.
You are quite correct, Jason. Nazis are racists and not all racists are nazis. You will notice I specifically mentioned the influence that Neo-Nazi thought has had amongst american white supremecist groups, and the cross pollination between the groups. To say that white supremecists in the United States have been influenced by nazi thought is not some wild slander: it is a fact. I've never said that all libertarians are nazis. However, I also specifically alluded to the relationship between some (not all) anti government groups with white supremecist groups. I also pointed out the obvious racism of some (but not all) libertarians to show that these groups are present within the movement. Thus, I find the suggestion that you've never encountered them among libertarians ludicrous. The relationship is: 19th century slave ideology influenced nazis and american white supremecists. Nazis influenced American white supremecists. White Supremecists influence some anti-government extremists, who use opposition to the government as a mask for their racism, just as the 19th Century slave owners used 'States Rights' as a mask for their pro slavery positions. And finally, these anti government groups are included among the groups that make up the Libertarian party. Is that clear enough?
Your hair splitting about the Civil Rights act of 1964 is silly and irrelevant. I feel perfectly justified in using support for the act as a litmus test for racism. Even today we still have a terribly biased system. The Act of 1964 was just one of many attempts to remove that bias. The fact that it hasn't succeeded shows that it didn't go 'too far.' Until real equality is achieved, I will not listen to protests of an act going 'too far.'
I have not dismissed you as racist. If I thought you were a racist, I'd have put you on ignore, like I have most of the racists on this board. You'll notice I am addressing your posts, while I am not addressing the posts of certain others who are posting on this thread. I regard you as a political extremist, who dislikes reasonable moderates and political compromise more than you dislike associating with racists and plutocrats.
Federalism and freedom of association guaranteed by the First Amendment compelled Goldwater to vote his conscience. On paper, it is a defensible—perhaps even laudable—act of principle, absent of context.
But those principles had been used as weapons against black Americans, and esoteric concerns seem less important than being unable to eat or get a hotel you’re willing and able to pay for as you drive across your own country. This sort of adherence to principle at the expense of the tangible freedom of millions of African Americans sent a clear message of whose liberty received priority. Fairly or unfairly, holding such a man up as a hero of liberty sends a mixed message, at best.
Donald Trump is now accusing President Obama of masterminding a plan with the New York Attorney General to bring a lawsuit against him in his Trump University fraud case.

So, Trump has Foreign Policy now...
Trump is just another republican who will use US forces to blow up sand people for Israel's benefit.
The only way to change shit is to have second amendment people take care of Israeli lobbyists and their Shabbos goy enablers. Voting doesn't work.
Prior to this election cycle, I though Trump was a loud-mouth bore, but basically rational and a decent businessman. Now that details of his life-long business dealings and behavior have become national news, and I am forced to listen to his bloviating every day, I've realized that Trump is a certifiable wackadoodle
Trump's best ability was selling his image. He did that very well.Donald Trump is now accusing President Obama of masterminding a plan with the New York Attorney General to bring a lawsuit against him in his Trump University fraud case.

I think this presidential run is going to turn out to be the worst decision he ever made in his life. Prior to this election cycle, I though Trump was a loud-mouth bore, but basically rational and a decent businessman. Now that details of his life-long business dealings and behavior have become national news, and I am forced to listen to his bloviating every day, I've realized that Trump is a certifiable wackadoodle I can't be the only one who continues to revise my opinion of him ever downward
It looks like Trump has decided not to pivot, but to go on being Trump. He has a new team and his new campaign CEO clown is from Brietbart. He's going to double down on his Trump act with his new yes man urging him on. Meanwhile a new Monmouth poll shows Clinton forging ahead in Florida by 9% points. Wheeeeee!
Wow...just read about that. Bannon-Brietbart WTF? So Trump is going to win, by making sure he corners 99.98% of the right wing National Enquirer crowd...while ignoring the middle? Yeah, go for it... Maybe Alex Jones can be named head of his transition team.It looks like Trump has decided not to pivot, but to go on being Trump. He has a new team and his new campaign CEO clown is from Brietbart.
