"As long as they [libertarians]want felons to vote and legalizing recreational drugs in this country, they can sure as hell count me out."

They also want to legalized porn & prostitution to have open borders, and believe that greed is good.

Libertarianism would spell the death of the Republic. With them, no real social cohesion is possible.

I don't think those things should be legal.

HOWEVER-those should be STATE issues, not FEDERAL.

Completly untrue. Libertarians simply believe that forcing others to believe as they do through coersion is wrong.

The State does not exist to provide you with a giant gun to point at people whose behavior/tastes you don't like. Its only purpose is to protect individual rights- remember "free will"? That's where virtue comes from, and virtue is what made this Republic great.

Greed IS good. What on earth are you doing in FR (instead of DU) if you have a problem with people getting rich?

Social cohesion is invalid if forced with the barrel of a gun---always has been, always will be.

It took to post 16 for someone to recognize they support open borders -- thank you for stating that fact. It is amazing how some conservatives are so blinded that they cannot see beyond the end of their nose at what Libertarians really stand for and this Conservative is not buying into their spin -- am a Republican and will always be a Republican.

Those Republicans that want 100% or nothing are not going to be happy anywhere. You start at the local level in your County Party structure and build from there but the "pure" or "true" whatever they call themselves today are too far right and stringent to make much of a difference. You cannot shove it at people if you don't believe the way I do, then you are not a "true" conservative. That is Bravo Sierra in my book!

My two cents for the day.

Porn is already legal as is prostitution. Recreational drugs are also legal.

Your lack of understanding about, and adversion to, freedom, does not make your opinion valid.
