I must object to the term LINO, as it doesn't duplicate the phonetics of an animal.  Better to call them Libertarians In Only Name (LIONs).

Granted these phrases won't work with intelligent people, but most of the world isn't intelligent, so it's all a matter of painting.

No better way to win friends and influence people than to call them stupid, or worse to think they're stupid.  That's a major flaw of the extremes of most minor parties in the United States, and why they never seem to manage third party status.  It's hard to win firends when you're looking down they're noses at them because they don't already agree with what seems self-evident to you.

Actually the FCC is one of the more essential pieces of the government.  It's badly managed and pverly political, but there does need to be some regulation of what frequencies are used for which purposes. For example, do you really want an airplane being unable to land because someone decided that it would be really neat to broadcast their audio talk show on the air traffic control frequencies?
