For any students interested in the NYU College Libertarians, we meet from 5-6 PM on Tuesday evenings in NYU’s Kimmel Building. We’ve rapidly outgrown our last two meeting rooms, so look at our Facebook Page/Group for location information.

Whether you want to write for our publication, join our debate team, or simply enjoy the greatest intellectual discussion anywhere on campus, we’d love to see you at a meeting.

I’ll be voting for the nominee of the Peace and Freedom Party – the longtime actor and activist Roseanne Barr. Barr is on the PFP ticket with noted anti-war warrior, Cindy Sheehan.

Though it’s clear Ms. Simpson was being hyperbolic, her reasons for supporting Libertarianism (or at least being interested enough in the philosophy to attend our first meeting) are hardly “immature.”

The crackdown on cannabis is futile (and hypocritical when you consider the fact that we allow drugs like alcohol and chemically-laced tobacco to kill hundreds of thousands of people a year). Her opinion that the government should have no say over who she choses to have a relationship with is so sensical it’s sad that we’re still debating it. Her desire to be allowed to make her own decisions and be left to deal with the consequences (i.e. be responsible for her own actions) is a message most parents would be proud for their children to espouse.

Libertarianism is hardly reactionary. The fact that they’re perhaps amongst the most anti-war, anti-discriminatory, pro-immigration parties out there suggests that they are quite the opposite: while the Republicans and Democrats rattle sabers and scapegoat minorities depending on the politics of the day, Libertarians send a single message with surprising consistency: personal freedom, personal responsibility, and equality under the law.

Gov. Gary Johnson Libertarian—- ” The Government Today Is The Direct Result Of Your Choosing The Corrupt Lesser For Generations !” John Adams—- ” THE VOTE FOR FREEDOM IS NEVER WASTED ” Thomas Jefferson—- ” All Tyranny Needs To Gain A Foothold Is For People Of Good Conscience To Remain Silent.”

Thanks for your comment, Aristo. I hope I didn’t give the impression that these student’s goals are “immature.” As I indicated, I found most students who expressed their intent to vote third party to be very well informed and articulate – in fact, more so that the average student. The quotes in my lede came from an exercise in which students were introducing themselves to a large group. It shouldn’t be taken to be a formal expression of the libertarian philosophy or a representation of the Libertarian party platform.

Those reasonings in the first paragraph are a little scary and immature. I hope they enjoy their weed a lot, because Libertarianism is a horribly reactionary and impractical form of governing for anything else.
