“Officially” No Longer Libertarian
Well, it’s official. For the first time in years, the Libertarian Party of North Carolina is no longer an “official” political party in the state of North Carolina. Since failing to receive enough signatures within a certain number of days after the 2004 elections, the NC Board of Elections has decertified the party. Yes, I signed the petition. Unfortunately, however, the decertification of the party has resulted in the thousands of voters registered as Libertarian being converted into “unaffliliated” voters. This includes me. For the first time in my life, I’m an “unaffliliated” voter, and I don’t like it. I’m no fan of choosing “unaffliliated” on your voter registration form. I consider it a form of cowardice, though definitely a lesser one.
For now, though, I’ll stay “unaffliliated” in an official sense. Once the LPNC gets enough signatures and is again considered an “official” party in this state, I’ll re-register as a Libertarian. The Republicans don’t deserve me, and I’ve long since smartened up enough to escape the Democrats.

Well then, according to the rulers of North Carolina, you’re not smart enough to be registered to vote. Don’t you see? The only people who know best how to run your life are already running it — North Carolina Democrats.
The sooner you realize that you’re not smart enough to do anything without your help, the better off you’ll be.
I hear they’re offering free lobotomies to help with conformance soon…
