If you think you have it bad, try being me - an African-American libertarian who didn't vote for Obama and was against his "healthcare reform".
The former is shocking enough; the latter people start attacking me even more ferociously (especially fellow African Americans) without ever asking me why (I've been in health insurance for 10 years, from Medical to policy admin to sales, fyi).
I sympathize, but I learned to just not speak about my stance until someone else brings it up in private. Three things that'll end relationships: politics, religion and sex. Don't mix the three.

That stinks man, and I'm sorry if any conservatives bashed you.

The only conservatives-cum-Republicans who ever said anything negative about me is the "white is right/preferable" brigade, but that has less to do with my politics than my skin color.

A black libertarian? I thought I would have had a better chance of finding a unicorn.

Is that because you don't think black people don't not vote Democrat, or because of something else? I used to campaign for Dems - even worked on Gray Davis' re-election campaign (briefly) in 2002 here in California. But seeing how far the CA Dems have gone to oppress segments of the population for behaviors they don't like (the newest "proposal" is to ban tobacco use within apartment homes; of course weed would be exempted), I dropped out the party. I'm all about live/let live, but can't support the GOP because of their penchant to oppress people as well. Libertarianism FTW.

Black people obviously have voted Democrat in recent years - Obama received what, 96% of black voter turnout? Libertarians are such a small segment of the voting population you have to figure that if you polled black Americans on the street you'd only have 0.1% or less respond Libertarian.

Unless your girlfriend wants her bestie in a threesome with you, it's probably not a good idea to ask her to be in a threesome with another girl.
