I found an amusing article on one guy’s struggle with Libertarianism. His best line is this: “…the Republicans have become wrong and corrupt, the Democrats are stupid and corrupt, and the Libertarians have gone plain crazy.”
Here’s a news flash: power corrupts. One of the smarter things this country has done was to limit the term of the President. One of the dumber things we’ve done is to not limit the terms of other office holders.
I doubt that the Libertarians will ever be a potent political force, but I bet that an Anti-Incumbent party could get some traction!
