It's the second issue -- foreign policy -- that makes me a libertarian Republican, instead of a Libertarian Party member.

There are people in the world who would destroy America for being a free society that makes what they want look bad. We need to be proactive, not reactive in stopping them. (And recent Libertarian Party leaders would have us not even be reactive).

I will still consider Libertarians at the local and, maybe, even state level. But I can no longer vote for Libertarian Party Presidential candidates in the face of terrorist attacks on this country.

It is why I turned in my card (figuratively speaking) November 2001. I was having trouble with the abortion issue but there were enough Libertarians for Life who believed as I do that the child was a human and therefore was entitled to live that I honestly thought that we might even have a shot at changing the platform.

But I refuse to cower before terrorists.
