Libertarian Party? Liberty Republican? Or Coyote Campaign?


Our spirit is free. So unless our minds are almost 100% ruled by ego and ego-vested interests there comes a time when we feel the urge to live in a world that reflects the freedom of our spirit. Ultimately that urge grows into a desire to somehow assure political liberty in our world.

At this point, one's intellect re-engages and asks: "But by what means? What will be the fastest, most efficient method?" And the merits of various approaches can be argued forever. That's what intellects do ... mental masturbation is pleasureful to those whose egos still hold sway somewhat. In the Liberty Movement we've seen endless arguments on the pros and cons of aligning oneself with the Libertarian Party, or with Liberty Republicans, or with a coyote campaign.

But the fact that such arguments go on endlessly should give us a clue that the intellect has asked the wrong question and offers wrong answers.

The real question is: "What method is right for me, for me personally? Where will I learn what I need to learn, and teach what I need to teach?" And the answer can only come from our spirit because our spirit is interested in freeing us psychologically as well as politically. Our spirit wants us to be free from self-created bondage as well as from political bondage, and our spirit knows the uniquely individual path each of us needs to follow in producing our own and everyone's freedom.

The answer comes from listening inside to our spirit.

"But I have a dilemma. My ego's intellect is so noisy I can never hear my spirit."

Those who are really serious about inner hearing might take up the practice of meditation, the art of quieting the intellect and listening inside.

But trial and error will lead us to the right solution anyway because our spirit is always, every moment at work guiding us. We try different situations ... and some work for us and feel really right, while others just do not fit our particular psychological state of being at the time. Metaphorically speaking, some doors slam shut, other doors open as if by magic.

Given each individual's current predisposition and unique path to total freedom, will the Libertarian Party be right for some? You bet. Will the liberty wing of the Republican Party be perfect for others? Without question. Will some find a better fit in coyote campaigns? Of course.

We can ask ourselves: Is it freedom-serving to argue endlessly over what is the best approach? Or is it wasting time and sabotaging our cause?

"Those who seek controversy will find it. Yet those who seek clarification will find it as well. They must, however, be willing to overlook controversy, recognizing that it is a defense against truth in the form of a delaying maneuver."

What if controversy within the liberty movement is a delaying maneuver?

People ask questions like: "The Libertarian Party has been around for over 40 years. If liberty is so appealing, why have their results been so pathetic?" Or, "There are only 16 solid Liberty Republicans in Congress. Shouldn't liberty attract many more?"

Part of the answer to these questions is that change takes time. Liberal-progressive Utopian schemes and the accompanying worship of government dictatorship have been deeply entrenched in American thought for a long, long time and will not be sufficiently erased overnight.

The Libertarian Party has made some progress over the years. And so have liberty Republicans. 16 staunch liberty Republicans in Congress is a lot more than in 1976 when Libertarian Party presidential candidate Roger MacBride called a meeting of liberty-minded Republicans to organize the Republican Liberty Caucus, which was later chaired by Ron Paul. Change is slowly happening.

But another part of the answer is simply internecine warfare within the liberty movement. Constant fighting over which way is the best way to go has sabotaged liberty's progress, delaying liberty's success.

So which way to go? We need to go in the direction our inner spirit guides us. The Libertarian Party. The Republican Liberty Caucus. A coyote campaign. Different strokes for different folks. But we all need to ask ourselves, "What do I really, really, really want? Success for liberty? Or more delay?"


fas-cism
noun
a socialist governmental system led by a dominant elite which seeks to control industry and commerce, and uses legislation and governmental decree to force Utopian programs on people.


free-dom
noun
one's natural state of being; a governmental system reflecting one's natural state, including voluntary funding and voluntary willingness to join and cooperate with minimal intrinsic rules, but with no programs of "good intention" forced on people "for their own good."



If you are newly waking up to your innate libertarian core and want to investigate deeper the underlying nonsense of the liberal-progressive religion of government worship, give yourself the pleasure of reading Ayn Rand's epic and masterful novel, Atlas Shrugged.



"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawLESS, and therefore chaotic." -Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles


Interesting factoid: for the last election year studied (1998) some of the highest percentage of votes for Libertarian Party candidates were for candidates who had been studying free of charge the lessons of: Course in Political Miracles

“I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me." (Prayer from A Course in Miracles)

Ron Paul is Wrong; Mitt Romney is Right!

"Ron Paul does not believe we went into Iraq because of 9/11. But Mitt Romney obviously believes we did. So who’s right?" ~Gary Benoit The strained arguments of some libertarians that Dwight Eisenhower is somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack in New York is equivalent to arguing that President James Buchanan was responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre of the Baker-Fancher emigrant party on 9/11 in Utah. It is truth in the sense we are all responsible for everything in our world. This is a very valuable truth, wouldn't you say? The twisted leftist argument is that Islamic Jihadists would not have declared war on Western societies if it hadn't been for Western government policies reaching back through the years. But anyone who studies the Koran knows this argument is bullshit. The Koran demands that war be waged on "infidels" until everyone on earth is either converted to Islam, enslaved by Islamists, or killed. Mitt Romney is right. The United States

Is Sarah Palin's Joy Ayn Rand's Ideal?

Lesson 50: "I join Ayn Rand, educating spiritually." Government worshippers are in control of most universities, virtually every public school system, and almost every major media market. The general public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe that if there is a problem, or the illusion of a problem, government solutions are the answer ... a new government program, a new government bureaucracy, more power to government. Because almost all avenues of education and information have been under the control of government worshippers, the vast majority of people are stuck in thinking habits which will never for long periods of time serve liberty. Because people's underlying thinking habits will rise to the surface again and again, any libertarian political victory can only be short-lived ... unless people's underlying way of thinking is changed. As much as I might hate to admit it, thorough re-education of the public cannot not be a number one priority for libertaria

Libertarian Mantra Exposes Obama Cruelty

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon a time there was a
