There are no Libertarians in Congress. Amash and Massie are Republicans! Apparantly, although they lack the courage of their convictions, such as you have, they make up for it by having more political sense.Wrong again. You're batting a thousand. You dont even know what a libertarian is, Berk (Im giving you the name Berk because Dullard and Corky are taken already by other board members).
There are libertarians in congress. They have been named already and there are others too.
Regardless of that fact, you are now trying to move the goal posts because your initial assertion was shown to be as ridiculous and stupid as you. It's a classic Authoritarian Progressive Loser tactic.
Berk, party affiliation doesn't mean anything when it comes to ideology. Ron Paul was a republican too. The reason? Simple. There is a two party paradigm in the US. Only the two parties receive any media atttention and therefore, outside of this paradigm one is left with very little hope of gripping the national audience.
Furthering your lack of understanding, you accused Pauul of hijacking the libertairan party. Meanwhile, he was a republican party affiliate. Though, known for his libertarian views.
C'mon, Berk. Find a narrative and stick to it. You're all over the place. Furthering the argument that someone who is ignorant should remain quiet and make people wonder, rather than remove all doubt.

So a good Libertarian is one who swallows his pride, and puts the (R) after his name, thus assuring himself of that RNC money (as opposed to the non-existant L money) and the guarantee of not having a pesky R opponent. I'm learning!
I have no doubt that bright, articulate Libertarians do exist, yet they seem to be conspicuously absent from both houses of Congress, and this thread.
Obviously George Soros has sent the ThinkProgress legion out with orders to try and smear Libertarians with the acts of the Antebellum South. On the face of this, it is so absurd that most of us just ignore it. But given that several of you are engaging in the same attack, this is clearly an organized effort, carried out by all of Soros's little Goebbels.
Rand Paul isn't libertarian. Do any of you clowns even know what you're talking about? It's like a fucking "who can say the dumbest shit" fest in here.

I don't blame you for trying to disassociate yourself from Paul.
But he's your poster boy.
Like it or not.
You can track the name back to Jesus, if you want, but that doesn't change the date of the founding, or the reasons for it.
The founding of the Libertarian Party is not the founding of libertarianism. And I doubt you could trace the word back to Jesus.
But you can trace it back to the birth of Judas Iscariot, who was delivered by the Roman obstetrician Ronus Paulus.
I believe H.L. Mencken coined the term in the 1920s
I don't know that he coined it, but he certainly used it.
He is widely credited for coining the term. I think I've even read the editorial where he first used it.

Libertarian is more than a political party, it's also a political ideology like liberalism or conservatism. In that respect, Amash and Massie are libertarians, rather than conservatives, who happen to be members of the Republican Party. Anybody who doesn't understand that simple concept should not be discussing libertarianism at all.

Gotta love a retard that thinks everyone with the same last name is the same person.

As right as Romney!

Does that make everyone a libertarian that has just one viewpoint that intersects with the libertarian party plank?

I wouldn't think so. That'd be like saying that I'm a conservative or a progressive because there is some overlap on this or that issue. Obviously I'm neither. Murray Rothbard had a rule that you're allowed three deviations from the libertarian position before you're not considered a libertarian anymore. Of course that merely begs the question of what the libertarian position is in the first place. Not every issue is cut and dry.
At any rate, I think there has to be some kind of baseline, I just couldn't say where it is.

Same... and those "three" would be different for everyone and would be 2 for some and 4 for others... the dreaded "litmus" tests.
Are you christian yes/no?
Are you for or against abortions?
Are you for or against guns?
Are you for or against debt?
Are you for or against education?
Are you for or against the children and elderly?
Are you for or against gay people?
ROFL you just can't make this stuff up.
