Ron,
If you don't start at city council or water board you won't stand a chance getting elected to state assembly let alone congress or senate, where the communist attacks are not well defended (except from Ron Paul and a few others).
I think it is really funny that our local elected libertarians get scoffed at when I don't see any major offices being even attempted to victory, except Badnarik in Texas in 2006.
Radical Libertarians expect change overnight and do nothing for the long run, pragmatists get stuff done for the long run while helping with short run stuff.... you may want to run Phil Berg or someone for SF city commission in a "harvey milk" way and see just how much a local elected rep can do for libertarianism in your city.
And my formula
LPSF - Phil Berg and a few others + Radical Caucus = pot smoking hippie commies
now were even!!!
name calling solves NOTHING neither you nor Lew Rockwell can call yourselves Libertarian and think you can even attempt to know how I am or my motivations for doing things and I resent every comment you make about those that you "know" like Takenaga or Bruce Cohen or any of the others, and except them as a personal attack against me, even though I have never met you
