“The official Libertarian Party is officially pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-the entire homo agenda, pro-legal all drugs, pro-legal prostituion, and pro-no holds barred porn even in public places.”

Funny thing is, some of us can admit that the Libertarian Party (big L) is full of crap. And still consider ourselves to be quite libertarian ourselves.

I used to say I was a conservative with libertarian leanings. More and more I think I am a libertarian with conservative leanings. And yet I still think the Libertarian Party is weirdo central. They co-opted the name libertarian, the way I see it.

You mention abortion: I find abortion at odds with the idea of liberty. One can not be truly free if one is killed before they are born, now can they?

This very libertarian leaning person has no problem reconciling that abortion is wrong and should be illegal, with the cause of liberty and freedom.

I also object to the attempts by many conservatives to legislate behavior strictly on moral grounds. I prefer to mind my own business and just want the Government to do the same.

People who OBSESS over others moral failings are usually projecting something - such as their own moral failings.

Are you basically accusing me of “obsesing” about morality becaus I have my own moral failings? Sort of how homosexuals accuse those opposed to the homosexual agenda of struggling with their own homosexual feelings?

So you’re not okay with the LP pro-abortion position. How about their pro-homo agenda, pro-prostitution, pro-legalizing all drugs, pro-open borders issues?

And furthermore, as a “libertarian leaning conservative”, what’s your position on states having laws prohibiting those vices? Is that okay with you or not?
