Brian Fitzpatrick is the quintessential example of this.
He has never seen a war he didn't like.
He will support government spending and surveillance at every opportunity.
He adheres to none of the supposed values of the Republican Party.
📆 On this day, March 20th, 1854, the Republican Party was born in Ripon, Wisconsin, emerging from a coalition opposed to slavery’s expansion. It pitched itself as a champion of limited government. Fast forward to today, and the GOP’s track record tells a different story.
Despite their small-government rhetoric, Republicans overwhelmingly back ballooning budgets, especially when they hold the reins. Trillions in spending—on wars, bailouts, and bloated bureaucracies—pile up under their watch, dwarfing any claims of fiscal restraint. Principles preached on the campaign trail vanish once power’s in hand.
The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania offers a real alternative: consistent commitment to shrinking government, slashing spending, and preserving liberty—not just talking about it. History shows promises fade; actions reveal the truth.
