>>>This is simply factually untrue, and indicates that you are speaking about libertarianism w/out knowing a thing about it.

>>>Libertarains believe in open borders and unlimited immigration, the legalization of all drugs and prostitution.

>>>Some do, yes.

So, I am right. But it would appear, you're confused.

I know all there is to know about the Libertarian Party platform and the libertarian philosphy. If someone chooses to deviate from the libertarian norm, thats a different story. Perhaps those individuals should become political independents and stop presenting themselves, as something they are not. I know Harry Browne. I remember the other LP candidates for president throughout the years. I'm familiar with Ron Paul and his fellow libertarian pals. I've argued with many a Libertarian and libertarian, right here on FreeRepublic. You can't deceive this astute political observer and lifelong conservative. So don't try!

Libertarians are hard headed, inflexible individuals who cherish a world without government, thus enabling them every oppotunity to run wild and cause all manner of problems.

If this is the extent of your knowledge of libertarianism, no wonder you are coming across like a complete idiot.

Libertarianism is minarchy. The smallest amount of government necessary to maintain and protect the equal Rights of everyone. Big Government Statists, like yourself, feel that people CANNOT behave themselves unless the Nanny State FedGov is breathing down their necks. In the absence of Government telling you how to run your life, would you personally run amok? Why assume others would?

Those who do think they could get away with such shinnanigans would be sorely disabused when pistol-packin' citizens put an end to their rampage. Or the police come and take them away for their initiation of force, and throw them in jail without fear they'd be back on the streets to make room for some mandatorily sentenced dope-head.

Keep talkin' pal. Your fanaticism gives us all a chuckle and really points out what a moral relativist you are.

Individual liberty and personal responsibility. A free market economy of abundance and prosperity. A foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade.

Those irritate you?

Just curious.

"I know all there is to know..."

LOLOLOL!!!

Your fatuous posts are a source of hilarity to the discerning, Mr. Man.

And I don't think you're a 'capital fellow' at all. Not at all. Your posting history reveals a stentorian weasel who runs for the mods when his feelings are hurt.

A 'capital fellow' would not be so ....'sensitive'.

No, you stated libertarians, as in all libertarians, and this is simply untrue. One could just as easily state that republicans support a state church, without indicating that only some do, and be equally as inaccurate.

I know all there is to know about the Libertarian Party platform and the libertarian philosphy.

What you have shown by your posts so far indicates that you do not. Please cite exactly where libertarians, or the LP, advocate completely dismantling either our criminal justice system or our military such that we would be unable to defend our country.

If someone chooses to deviate from the libertarian norm, thats a different story. Perhaps those individuals should become political independents and stop presenting themselves, as something they are not.

Again, what you are representing as the 'libertarian norm' is not that.

I know Harry Browne. I remember the other LP candidates for president throughout the years. I'm familiar with Ron Paul and his fellow libertarian pals. I've argued with many a Libertarian and libertarian, right here on FreeRepublic. You can't deceive this astute political observer and lifelong conservative. So don't try!

With all due respect, I am neither trying to deceive you nor do I label it as 'astute' when some tries to associate positions with libertarianism that do not necessarily represent reality.

Funny then that you try to deceive others all the time. Pathetic
