As Libertarians try to draw more members in to their community, | |||
they exercise their freedom of speech and freedom to express their | |||
opinions, and in doing so, inevitably this results in offending some people who then will never consider joining the Libertarian Party. | |||
Here is an example: | |||
Cris Ericson, Marijuana party affiliation candidate | |||
http://www.times.com/ref/elections2004/2004VT.html | |||
came in 3rd for two offices in 2004, see Cris Ericson, MJP | |||
and she made it common knowledge that she had moved from Los Angeles,CA | |||
to Vermont and expected in the future to return to Los Angeles, CA | |||
and use the knowledge and experience she gained campaigning in Vermont to succeed as a political candidate in California. | |||
A Libertarian from Vermont e-mailed her and stated in most negative terms that he thought she was a terrible person for even thinking of such a plan. | |||
Now, if you leave your state to go to a University in another state, and then return to your home state, you are applauded for going away and getting a broader view of the world. | |||
So, why would a Libertarian think that it is terrible for a person to go to another state and gain experience campaigning, and then return to the state they came from and use their broadened experience? | |||
The abusive and insulting language in the e-mail the Libertarian sent Cris Ericson made her think that Libertarians are ignorant and small minded. | |||
