We Need A Fraternal Society For Libertarians, ala Rotary Club, Lions Club, etc

[oyarde]

If I'm not allowed to join, I'm going to use it for my club.

You can join my club.

The town/city officials would hate us. Our group would have an organized presence at all town meetings opposing corruption and politics as usual.

...unless the town/city officials are club members.



You'll find a disproportionate number of Rotary Club, Lions Club, Masons, etc in local government.

No reason we couldn't do the same.

 

[Anti Federalist]

To have the things that Rotary et al have (meeting places that they own, events which they finance, etc), you need a formal organization.

Bylaws, officers, dues.

You just answered your own question as to why there are none.

I'm told what to do at my job, under Uncle Sucker and the Byzatine layers of government all around us, by my wife.

The last thing I need to do is join up for more rules to follow.

The loss of cultural homogeneity and the avalanche of rules under the police state coupled with the loss of the middle class is what is killing these orgs now.

As long as it's LGBT friendly.

Aren't you missing a few letters there?

I bet oyarde's club doesn't have too many rules. Probably BYOB, though.

 

[Suzanimal]

I still don't know if it's guys only. Since r3v 3.0's ignoring my question, I'm going to leave the sausage fest.

I didn't realize it was a serious question...

No, it's not guys only.

The word fraternal can refer to any group of people with common interests, goals, etc.

It doesn't always mean a men's group.

If you're opposed to rules as such (which must be the case, since you can't be opposed to the rules of our hypothetical libertarian club, since they haven't been determined yet), I guess you must not leave your house much, since anywhere you go (e.g. restaurant) has rules. I don't have a problem with voluntarily accepted rules, as at any private venue, but whatever floats your boat.

I like this idea. It should be a very exclusive invitation-only club. Members would help each other become more influential within society.

not good enough, it should have some Secret initiations and aspects to it too, not a completely Secret Society(tm), but enough to provide some mystique about it and only some initiates in it will be able to know the very coveted and Enlightened aspects as well. It will attract more people that way.

That's a definite possibility.

...some aspects of such a plan shouldn't be discussed on an open forum, however.

Yep byob.

I guess I could charge 2 FRN's a beer , except Danke , Three Fitty for him. Maybe throw in a few hot dogs on the grill ,LOL

It usually does.

fraternal
[fruh-tur-nl]

adjective
1.
of or befitting a brother or brothers; brotherly.
2.
of or being a society of men associated in brotherly union, as for mutual aid or benefit:

I don't give a crap if you want to start (another) libertarian sausagefest but if I were looking for a political club to join and saw fraternal in the name, I wouldn't bother looking into it because I'm female. I'm just pointing that out because if you use that word in the name of the club, it may cause (some) woman to look elsewhere.

How much for Franzia?

Maybe throw in a few hot dogs on the grill ,LOL

LOL, a weenie roast.

I have beads!!

 

[oyarde]

I have beads!!

High quality beads are good , that gets you closer to 2 FRN beer.

[Suzanimal]

We're going to have to give it a new moniker so Suz will stop bitching.

Only tequila for the wenches..........

I'm not bitching but a fraternal order indicates that it's a male organization to me. I don't care if that's what y'all want but if ya want some chicks to show up then I would consider calling it something else. Maybe that's the reason I'm the only female who's commented in this thread.

That would be one way to make more liberty babies.
