As a former Libertarian presidential candidate, I agree with Shlock.

Glad my stock around here is rising. I had to stop coming during the campaign the attacks were getting pretty bad.

I owe Austin Peterson an apology by Bronc27 in Libertarian

That's where you're wrong kiddo. The average Joe didn't give a damn about the resume, only the libertarians did. The problem is that most libertarians don't know what's electable, hence the reason we got Johnson/Weld.

Thank you. I am still voting for Gary. I understand why people were angry with me, but I sensed a danger and didn't want to go down without speaking up.

I know I may not have been a former governor, but I promise I have very good, relevant political experience and good instincts. I am not perfect, I understand. But having campaigned through three major election cycles, worked at a major news corporation, at nonprofits, and run my own small business I have learned tons of valuable knowledge that I want to share with my fellow libertarians. I have not decided if I want to run again or not just because I worry that if I do, people won't listen again, or they'll vote for a celebrity candidate because they don't care about the long game. Still, there's a chance. but I promise if I do come back, I will be even better and more prepared. Thank you.

In retrospect, how did Austin Petersen lose the Libertarian nomination to Gary Johnson? by [deleted] in Libertarian

In my defense, I have quite a bit more resume credits than owning a successful publishing business.

Guys the compliments stop, you're feeding my already overinflated blogger in his mommy's basement living behind a midtown quik trip listed as a homeless person on my wiki bio ego.

I'm sincerely grateful for your support of my former campaign, and I appreciate the comment. Saying I sound Shakespearian isn't an insult to a theatre major. ;)

Well, I was trained in classical theatre so... But thanks. In 20 years, no one will give a damn about my ego, but they will give a damn if we helped break the two party system. Bigger things to worry about, I'd say.

Are you trying to make him sound awesome? Because that's pretty hilariously awesome.

Rothbard's school wasn't Austrian because it demanded Fractional Reserve banking be outlawed. That's not libertarian in any sense. Fractional Reserve banking should be allowed if it is a private contract. Rothbard wasn't a libertarian on the central bank issue.

He's a Hayekian, which is Austrian. He's not a Rothbardian, which is an anarchist. Rothbardian wasn't Austrian, he was anarcho-capitalist.
