Nader: Progressive-libertarian alliance.

Prepare for the rise of libertarian progressives. That was the message earlier in the week from trends analyst Gerald Celente, who predicted that the rapid acceleration of wealth into the coffers of the ultra-rich would drive a global youth resistance movement in 2011 and reformat long-held political boundaries. And then there were two. Longtime American politics gadfly Ralph Nader, a man of many ideas almost diametrically opposed by most libertarian conservatives, said Wednesday that he sees a coming convergence of liberals, progressives and libertarian conservatives in the wake of a worsening financial crisis and dogged partisanship that's put the government into gridlock.Link

Firstly, Ron Paul represents the left-side of the libertarian movement on foreign policy. Those of us who are Pro-Defense libertarians and anti-IslamoFascism want nothing to do with the surrender-tarians on the Left.

Secondly, the Nader people blocked us Libertarian Party petitioners in at least 3 states in 2008, from gathering signatures for Bob Barr for President. Ohio, CT, and New Hampshire. They are our enemy. Why in the bloody hell would we want anything to do with Nader and his gang of crooks?

Thirdly, Ralph Nader? The one who single-handidly instituted mandatory seat belt laws in the entire United States? Sorry, but we Libertarians absolutely hate the Nanny-State - seat belt laws, smoking bans, taxes on beer and liquor, political correctness, ect...

Progressive - Libertarian Alliance? Not only No, but Hell No!
