No Particular Order - The removal of one harmful government policy should never be held hostage for the removal of another, as this throws self-imposed barriers in the path of liberty and removes potential pressures for change. For example, saying that borders may be opened only after welfare is eliminated is unacceptable; the proper position is to push for both changes. Should we succeed in achieving open borders only to find that welfare burdens are increased, this should be used as an additional argument to abolish welfare.   The Libertarian Party should always steadfastly oppose harmful government policies, regardless of any promise that supporting one bad policy will ensure that another is abolished.   PLEASE HELP ME OUT BY BECOMING A PATRON AT: Patreon.com/biglpodcast   You can also support Caryn Ann also by beginning all Amazon purchases through her affiliate link.  For instance, check out this MUST-HAVE product,  https://tinyurl.com/helpcarynann , and then just continue your searches and purchases from there.  Amazon gives credit to any purchases done during the session not just the featured book.  Please shop OFTEN AND HARD.   Or you can be my liberty santa and purchase something off of my wish list at: http://tinyurl.com/carynannwishlist - or surprise me directly (no horse heads or bunnies) by sending a package to 874 S.

Radical Abolitionism - As the word radical means "going to the root" of something, radical Libertarians should not merely propose small changes to the status quo and debate the fine points of government policy with the opponents of freedom. Instead, Libertarians must always make clear that the outright removal of the injustice and interference of the State is our ultimate goal. Speaking from our basic principles avoids the quagmire of self-imposed, obligatory gradualism. Rather than offering compromise, we should demand what we really seek -- a free society -- and let our opponents offer the compromises.   Principled Populism - The Libertarian Party should be a mass-participation party operating in the electoral arena and elsewhere, devoted to consistent libertarian principle, and committed to liberty and justice for all. The Libertarian Party should trust in and rely on individuals to welcome a program of liberty and justice and should always aim to convince people of the soundness of libertarian principles. Simply repeating our basic principles and not proposing transition measures is ineffective in the short run because only a small part of the populace is interested in liberty in the abstract, and hiding or abandoning our principled positions is ineffective in the long run because it fails to sustain us as a movement and attract and retain new Libertarians.   PLEASE HELP ME OUT BY BECOMING A PATRON AT: Patreon.com/biglpodcast   You can also support Caryn Ann also by beginning all Amazon purchases through her affiliate link.  For instance, check out this MUST-HAVE product,  https://tinyurl.com/helpcarynann , and then just continue your searches and purchases from there.  Amazon gives credit to any purchases done during the session not just the featured book.  Please shop OFTEN AND HARD.   Or you can be my liberty santa and purchase something off of my wish list at: http://tinyurl.com/carynannwishlist - or surprise me directly (no horse heads or bunnies) by sending a package to 874 S.

Natural Rights Are Utilitarian - The central commitment of the Libertarian Party should be to individual liberty. Our goal should be to illustrate convincingly that there is no essential separation between natural rights and utilitarianism - that is, the morally correct choice yields the most benefit for the greatest number of people.   The Libertarian Party should support individual liberty because it's the right thing to do, and because it's the best way to benefit the greatest number of people.   Show Links:   https://reason.com/2015/02/01/the-consequences-of-liberty/   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_ethics   http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/2012/02/eudaimonist-libertarianism/   http://praxeology.net/whyjust.htm   http://www.ittakesbrains.com/Richman-LibertarianMoralStandardsApplyToEverybody.html   Check out my channel (different Libertarian-focused content) at: youtube.com/pinkflameofliberty   Info about Caryn Ann: http://lpedia.org/Caryn_Ann_Harlos Please support this show through one of the below crowd-funding links:   Patreon: Patreon.com/biglpodcast   You can also support Caryn Ann also by beginning all Amazon purchases through her affiliate link.  For instance, check out this MUST-HAVE product,  https://tinyurl.com/helpcarynann , and then just continue your searches and purchases from there.  Amazon gives credit to any purchases done during the session not just the featured book.  Please shop OFTEN AND HARD.   Or you can be my liberty santa and purchase something off of my wish list at: http://tinyurl.com/carynannwishlist - my direct mailing address   You can contact Caryn Ann at pinkflameofliberty@gmail.com Follow Caryn Ann on social media and other sharing sites:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carynannharlos/ Steemit: https://steemit.com/@pinkflame Facebook Public Figure: https://www.facebook.com/pinkflameofliberty/ Facebook Personal: https://www.facebook.com/carynannharlos Facebook Big L Podcast Page: https://www.facebook.com/biglpodcast MeWe: mewe.com/i/caryn_annharlos Minds: https://www.minds.com/CarynAnnHarlos YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/pinkflameofliberty All Big L Patrons are automatically given patron status for the Pink Flame of Liberty show.   Disclaimer:  All opinions are those of Caryn Ann Harlos only and not to be attributed as the official position of the Libertarian Party.

This is a recorded phone call with potential new Party member Eric - who gave his explicit permission for me to record and distribute.  One of the subjects I discussed was the views of Sharon Presley, the founder of the ALF, who objected to my characterization of her position as a right to abortion until the umbilical cord is cut when she says it is until natural childbirth.  While I think that is a distinction without a difference, I edited that part out and agreed to use her terminology in the future.   Current Libertarian abortion plank: Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.   My prior article on the topic: http://independentpoliticalreport.com/2015/08/caryn-ann-harlos-abortion-and-the-libertarian-conscience/   Info about Caryn Ann: http://lpedia.org/Caryn_Ann_Harlos   Please support this podcast by visiting: http://biglpodcast.com/#Support   iTunes review also help!  Please leave one today for a shout-out (unless it is a bad review, LOL, then you may get a different kind of shout-out).   You can also support Caryn Ann also by beginning all Amazon purchases through her affiliate link.  For instance, check out this book at https://amzn.to/2OwnKsJ (a great intro book to the Party), and then just continue your searches and purchases from there.  Amazon gives credit to any purchases done during the session not just the featured book.  Please shop OFTEN AND HARD.   You can contact Caryn Ann at pinkflameofliberty@gmail.com   Follow Caryn Ann on social media and other sharing sites:   Steemit: https://steemit.com/@pinkflame Facebook Public Figure: https://www.facebook.com/pinkflameofliberty/ Facebook Personal: https://www.facebook.com/carynannharlos Facebook Big L Podcast Page: https://www.facebook.com/biglpodcast MeWe: mewe.com/i/caryn_annharlos Minds: https://www.minds.com/CarynAnnHarlos YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/pinkflameofliberty All Big L Patrons are automatically given patron status for the Pink Flame of Liberty show.   Disclaimer:  All opinions are those of Caryn Ann Harlos only and not to be attributed as the official position of the Libertarian Party.

There have usually been four groups of people in the Libertarian Party. There are the ideological radicals, the ideological moderates, the methodological radicals, and the methodological pragmatists. Let's talk about this breakdown and the history behind them. This is part one of a three-part series.

Why is the Libertarian Party Statement of Principles so important? Caryn Ann concludes a three-part series on the LP and the Enduring Importance of the Statement of Principles. If you want the background on the history and meaning of this very important document, you don’t want to miss this trilogy of episodes. Make sure to start with the first episode of this trilogy and listen to all three to get the most benefit from this.
