The golden rule and the libertarian philosphy are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

>>>This is a conclusion; what are your premises?

Not a conclusion, rather a fact! A reading of the Libertarian Party platform and the libertarian philosophy makes their agenda crystal clear.

"The boiling point of water at sea level is 212 degrees Farenheit" is a positivist statement of fact. The statement, "The golden rule and the libertarian philosphy are at opposite ends of the spectrum" implies premises which you have still not offered.

So I ask again, is not the statement "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" equivalent to "Do not initiate force or fraud against others?" If not, why not?

That is semantic sophistry. Will you answer his question without obfuscation, or are you unable to?

I think I have it figured out on here -- the only people reading the Libertarian platform are Republicans like us!

BTW when researching some campaign contributions to McBride in Florida, another Freeper and I ran across donations from the DemocRATs to the Libertarian Party. How do they explain that?
