					<description>..at the risk of sounding strange to you republicrats, here's something to consider!  ...i am reminded of my first LP state convention when i asked (actually begged) a good friend of mine to go with me..

...he was a young, rather silent member of a strange (to me, at the time) group of people who called themselves 'christian redemptionists..' i had been invited to several of their well-attended (compared to LP meetings anyway!) meetings and found their message appealing, very interesting, etc..(i was/am into 'monetary realism' and was pleasantly surprised that there were some local people who actually understood 'the money thing' as i did..unlike at LP meetings)   

..we had a great time at the LP con...great food and drink and a knowledgeable keynoter from the gun owners of america had my buddy smiling at times!..

..i asked him, 'so what do you think?'..he said, 'well, to be honest, i knew what i was in for when the first thing i saw was the two big 'gold-fringed admiralty flags' prominently flanking the speaker's podium'..'i mentioned it to one of your LP reps. and he was fucking clueless..' 

..i have since learned the meaning, history, etc. of these stinking 'admiralty court' flags, but i don't think many other LP'ers have..

..so please consider using ONLY 'old glory' (the plain old red white and blue) if you must use flags at the LP con...

What Does The Gold-Fringed Flag Signify? 

It is commonplace to see a gold-fringed United States flag standing in the
present-day courtrooms. Is the gold fringe there for decoration only, or 
does it signify a certain jurisdiction? Make no mistake about it -- the 
American People have been put on notice that the normal constitutional 
functions of government have been suspended and that their Land has been placed under martial law. The information below is not by any means exhaustive, but will at least point the reader in the right direction to do additional research on his own.&quot;

					<description>&quot;Probably, we’ll see Imperato on 3-4 state ballots in the general. And then he can get ready for 2012.&quot;

AR, CO, LA, MS, NJ, RI, TN, UT, and VT have signature requirements of 1,000 signatures or less.  In VA, he might get the Independent Green nod once they figure out that Bloomberg is really honest-to-God not running for President this year!  It's a start toward getting the Papal endorsement in the next election.</description>

					<description>Here's a piece from Reason on the angry conservatives - http://www.reason.com/blog/show/119207.html.

&quot;Can the LP become a general retirement home for disgruntled conservative activists disgusted with Bushism? Well, either they will have to start becoming more comfortable with the personal liberties that tend to make right-wingers uncomfortable--as Barr has shown signs of doing with medical marijuana--or the LP will have to become more congenial to them--which, by definition, a huge influx of such disaffected conservatives will tend to make happen. A big wait-and-see on this one.&quot;

It's happening now!</description>

					<description>The angry Republicans (Viguerie, Barr and their team) don't want to tear the LP up. They want to use it to stuff McCain and recruit talent for their new conservative movement who will support a new candidate in 2012. The real libertarians will be left to pick up the pieces and rebuild the party.</description>

					<description>oh, no he had a lot more than ten shirts and he probably gave out to or three more. I should have taken more. He also offer me a hat, baseball style, but I did not take because I do not usually wear hats.</description>

					<description>I think you are being unfair to Charles Collins. Imperato is clearly out of touch with reality at times. Was Charles Collins? The multiple party hopping is the same, but Collins had a fairly straight forward agenda. Patriot and militiaesque and conspiratorial, but not purely eccentric to him.</description>
