The Sink Loss in Florida Tells Us One Thing

102. I was speaking more of him as a libertarian and how he stands there than his personal qualities

Yes, some would argue that both he and his son have demonstrated racist tendencies that I don't support. That too might exclude him from being considered as well. But I don't think racism is necessarily part of what libertarians as a party preaches, unlike some other areas where I don't agree with the party as well. What I was trying to propose is that you select a Libertarian like Ron Paul, or perhaps another prominent one that doesn't have what you are arguing are racist tendencies and put them in a position in homeland security. That way you confine that libertarian's job to working on issues in areas where progressive Democrats agree with Libertarians (like protecting privacy rights, etc. from an aggressive security state). A move like that would help move many young people in the right direction if they see a segment of the Democratic Party moving in the same direction in areas like that where they support the Libertarians for their leadership in these areas now. Because ultimately as they mature, I think these young people will find that other areas they aren't looking at overlap with progressive views of certain Democrats (and other parties like Green Party) more than the other views of the Libertarian party.
