You are also confused about Reason Magazine.

The Objectivist Party was formed in 2008.

Reason Magazine was founded in 1968, just 3 years prior to the founding of the Libertarian Party.

And the Libertarian Party website www.lp.org contains a link to Reason.com.

Objectivism was a term coined to describe the philosophy of Ayn Rand. The majority of founding members of the Libertarian Party were objectivists, and during the first Libertarian convention, Rand was quoted and cited extensively as Libertarian philosophy was hashed out. As a result, Libertarians are inherently objectivist, as their platform indicates. However, Libertarians are completely separate from the Objectivist Party.

Here's a link to an article which recalls the founding of the Libertarian Party by someone who was there.

Reason Magazine (reason.com) maintains its original ties to the Libertarian Party. None of the Reason Mag staff are listed on the rolls of the Objectivist Party.

Here is a list of Objectivist Party members:

"Since 1985, Ron Paul has published a newsletter, first called the Ron Paul Political Report (and since renamed the Ron Paul Survival Report.)
In 1992, the newsletter published a bunch of inflammatory comments on racial subjects.
In 2001, as Paul moved to the mainstream and rejoined the Republican party, he disavowed these comments and blamed them on an unnamed ghostwriter. But when Paul ran for Congress in 1996, as a Libertarian, his opponent brought these up to show that Paul had fringe ideas. At that time, Paul told the Houston Chronicle that he opposed racism and his commentaries about blacks came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time." In other words, he didn't deny writing the Ron Paul column in the Ron Paul newsletter, profits of which go to Ron Paul, until many years later. Then he claimed that his campaign aides thought it would be "too confusing" to tell the truth, so he had to lie and accept responsibility.
Whichever story is true, he's clearly responsible for the contents of that newsletter and pretty squirrelly about the whole thing."


Here's some more damning quotes from Ron Paul....


"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." - Ron Paul, 1992

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." - Ron Paul, 1992

"We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such." - Ron Paul, 1992

"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?" - Ron Paul, 1992

I am not racist at all.



laugh laugh laugh

That's actually funny considering some of the things you have published.


Really? Like what? I NEVER have talked about ANYONE negativly because of their skin color. I don't ever judge someone on that.


Oh so it's just skin color you are talking about.
Then its just ethnic background and religions you rail about.
