"I just want to take a minute to tell you that we really do appreciate your writing over here. I find the state of this country (and its flock of good frickin' citizens) so outrageous that I mostly sit around pulling my hair out and fantasizing about Canada... sometimes Iceland... But, incredibly, you don't stew! It's like you're on a whole other plane. It's so easy to lose sight of reality with all that glare from the fancy magic show illusions of our 'two' party system. Seriously. Your message is hopeful and real."
-Kristen Werner, Rollinsford, N.H.
July 03, 2003Tom Knapp: the Life of the Party, Pt. 1In this first part of a now-6-part series, Tom Knapp proposes a session of introspection for the Libertarian Party, summarizes his reasons for calling for such, and initiates his part of the discussion. The life of the Party (Part One) by Thomas L. Knapp It's the stuff of folklore: in December of 1971, a few people got together in David F. Nolan's Denver apartment and founded a new political party. The following year, that party -- the Libertarian Party -- ran its first presidential ticket, receiving the vote of one renegade elector. Since then, the LP has had its ups and downs but, as of 2003, has firmly established itself as America's continuing third political presence (not to be confused with the Green shadow of the Democratic Party, the Constitution/U.S. Taxpayers shadow of the Republican Party or the Reform Party which, as a presence, isn't, well, present). Third, however, is not the desirable position in a political environment based on majorities, pluralities and "first past the post" electoral outcomes. In order to achieve its goals, the LP must either become one of the top two, or else force one of those top two to adopt its policy prescriptions. ... In coming months, I intend, in this "Life of the Party" series, to outline a vision -- and to publish articles by others outlining visions of their own -- for the Libertarian Party's future success. My own offerings will no doubt suffer, to one degree or another, from many of the same defects I've pointed out in prior efforts. That's unavoidable -- if tacit assumptions were so easy to escape from, someone else would have already done so over the course of the last three decades. Nonetheless, I hope to create, over time, an online "symposium" incorporating competing visions, interactive discussions and modular resources, available to all, for the purpose of advancing a long overdue period of introspection in the LP.
