The Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Nevada (LPN), Joseph P. Silvestri, recently announced that he “need[s] a break” from the “knuckleheads” who run the LPN. “I have little hope that we shall see any quality activists lead the LPN this next cycle,” he writes. “We are infested with idiots.” Silvestri says he’s struggled for a decade to make the state Libertarian party a competitor in Nevada but now must “concede defeat.” With only 9,300 registered Libertarians in the state, only 200 of them are paid members of the LPN. “Most people, even libertarians, are apathetic and kinda lazy,” Silvestri says. “And too few people are really professional when they’re not being paid.” Those who do participate “thrive on drama.” Silvestri complains that infighting between “con-man and fraud” Brett Pojunis and registered sex-offender Kurt Brackob has made it impossible for the LPN to field or fund viable candidates for local and state offices. Pojunis, according to Silvestri, is a “fraud and a liar” who made promises he couldn’t keep — about viable candidates he could bring to the convention, as well as donations he could secure — and courted the “lunatic fringe of the party” in order to enrich himself personally. Brackob’s unethical behavior is unrelated to his placement on the Nevada Sex Offender’s Registry, but in Silvestri’s opinion, Pojunis’s fight to have Brackob placed on it created a toxic environment in which the main “goals” of the party became “hav[ing] an important-sounding title” and “mak[ing] money off the LPN.” “I’ve struggled with idiots who find it easier to destroy than create,” Silvestri writes, but after “more than a decade trying to help build the LPN into a viable political organization that could compete with the establishment parties, and get Libertarians elected, I have conceded defeat.”

I’ve struggled with idiots who find it easier to destroy than create, right here on LF, and previously at LP & freerepublic. But after more than a decade of trying to help others to understand our Constitution, I have conceded defeat. There are just too many idiots. From now on, I intend to make fun of these canary clowns. (Well , I may make a clarifying comment now and then).. Feel free to whimper if your feelings get hurt..
They should have first built up a politically viable party like the Republicrats or Democans - THEN they could make money off their party as the Republicrats and Democans do off theirs. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. I’ve struggled with idiots who find it easier to destroy than create,”

the main “goals” of the party became “hav[ing] an important-sounding title” and “mak[ing] money off the LPN.”
