@abumuqawama libertarians are for individual rights, not states rights. You're of course correct that local PDs are often some of the worst -
@abumuqawama violators of individual liberties, but libertarians are against such violations at all levels of government, not just federal. -

@isaac32767@abumuqawama HAHA! Did you just call all libertarians racist? -
@kohtz no. I said that libertarian is it convenient label for racists to hide behind@abumuqawama -

@isaac32767 OK, have a nice evening.

@abumuqawama Not quite sure what "states rights libertarian" is. Libertarianism is about relationship between individual & *any* government. -
@abumuqawama look at the demographic of the movement you describe, and you'll know why they don't really care about that. -
@abumuqawama "states rights libertarians"? Who do you think gives the police departments their fancy toys? (starts with F & rhymes with bed) -
@abumuqawama Very well said.
