I've been a part of the Libertarian party for over 10 years now, am on the Libertarian committee of St. Louis and am a voting member in our primaries. Internet Libertarians are a joke to anyone who is actually in the party. We will surely take their votes though.

It is a damn shame that Libertarianism has been taken hostage by some fucked up version of the right wing when they are one of the worst things about the Republican party. You would think that with our staunch support of gay rights, marijuana legalization, and pro-choice agenda that it would be very clear to the misogynistic religious right that they are not welcome here, and yet I have to deal with this newly prevalent version of Reddit Libertarian all the god damned time. It's a huge pain in the ass and it sets back my party all the time.

The best way to think of Libertarians who actually live outside of their parents' basements are as Democrats who want to reign in spending, or Republicans who want gay people to smoke marijuana on their wedding day. Everything else is essentially a stolen use of the word Libertarian.
