Walter,

Apparently you all agreed to disband:
"What about the Presidential race in the fall, when there will be a Libertarian Party candidate in contention? My colleagues and I at LFT have decided that the sole purpose of this organization is to help Mr. Donald Trump attain the Republican Party's nomination for president. When and if that occurs, we plan to disband LFT.  We confine ourselves toward working toward the day when Mr. Trump receives the nomination of the Republican Party for president - and nothing else."

(ht RW)

In addition, if the others don't wish to kill LFT why not withdraw to honor your word?

Warm regards, Michael

we added new colleagues since I  wrote that. they didn't  agree to disband.

this is my present view  on this matter:

Block, Walter E. 2016. “Hillary, Bernie, Donald, Gary: A Libertarian Perspective.” June 4;https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/06/walter-e-block/hillary-bernie-donald-gary/

I now think it is important to keep LFT going.

  1. This is becoming a ridiculous joke. If even smart libertarians can be duped by transparent politician lies, what hope is there for the masses?

  2. After reading the linked article I can only ask, "Does Block have selective perception?"...

    There is a video of Trump demanding we march into Lybia, He doesn't want to END Nato... He wants to reform it via making other states "pay their fair share" then he even says he'll support them 100%. As far as Russia he is better than Hillary, but he is certainly gathering the wrong ppl around him in this regard as well.

    Just like it is sometimes prudent to 'sit in cash' when you can't determine safest route of investment, perhaps simply not voting would serve ppl just as well.

  3. P.S.

    I ALMOST FORGOT, THE "LAW AND ORDER" CANDIDATE (ONE OF THE SCARIEST SHOUTS FROM A PODIUM I HAVE WITNESSED) SEE'S TORTURE AS A LEGITIMATE MEANS TO SUCH AN END. I WONDER IF THAT WOULD ONE DAY INCLUDE AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO ARE CONSIDERED 'SUSPECT'...
