I would consider myself to be a Jeffersonian, which means that I am pretty close to most Libertarians in my political beliefs although I do believe there are very specific purposes to government that should be limited by a very specific set of rules, which is the rightful intent of those who founded this country. The winner of an election should not have a fundamental impact on me, my family, or my community if those rules were currently observed. The felt impact of politics today is only a testament to the perversion of authority in this country. My biggest issue I have with Libertarians as a party is that they refuse to understand the necessity for coalitions. Regardless if the elections were two party or multi party, power is wielded by a coalition of those who come together (the impact of which would be far less if our constitutional limits were still functioning as intended.) The green, labor, socialist, etc. have stopped bickering and are unified (for the most part) under the Democrats. As long as those right of center continue to bicker amongst each other, the left will continue to win elections and take this country down a dark road...this is the reality of modern politics in America.
