yet the thread is rapidly devolving into a WoD thread.It's simply the biggest target and the longest running excuse for the government to infringe on our privacy and freedoms. Don't worry...if that mistake in governing is corrected we'll move on to opposing they next threat to freedom. Probably abolishing the department t of homeland security and taking away the department of education's SWAT teams.

10% of republicans “don’t know the word libertarian”? That means there are 10% who don’t know what day it is and love everyone who has a “R” after their name. I know there are at least that many democrats who “don’t know the word liberal”.

The progressive, leftist social views of libertarians is undoubtedly growingly accepted among the young, we all know that.
Conservatives have been facing a two front war against the left’s/libertarian social liberalism for quite some time.

Libertarians still rush to argue for drugs. Their real gains this year have been in homosexualizing the military and the acceptance of equality for gay marriage at the federal level in employment and immigration, and of course, the military.

It's simply the biggest target and the longest running excuse for the government to infringe on our privacy and freedoms. True, though the "War on Terror" is catching up (and is showing the Keystone Kop incompetence of the government in even sharper relief -- they spy on everything and can't find people they were specifically warned about).

Obviously, when the ship of state is headed toward a fiscal iceberg, the rearrangement of deck chairs and polishing of band instruments need to be put aside for the duration.

LOL, a quote from the beginning of a 1975 interview for a small libertarian audience while he was campaigning.
Reagan then proceeded to explain how he wasn’t a libertarian because of he was a conservative and disagreed with them on social issues and national defense.
You are being dishonest when you post that, but you certainly don’t seem to care for honesty, even when it comes to Reagan.
Here we are dealing with homosexualizing the military and gay marriage, and you want to pretend that Reagan supported that libertarian agenda, which he didn’t, he was even against gambling.

In other words drugs are the most important thing to Libertarians, to be dwelt upon ad nauseum even in the face of looming national crisis.
Thank you for making my point.

Federally endorsed perversion is a poor substitute for choom-on-demand. It’s all about the choom.

""this is good news very good news!""
We define libertarians as those who favor "smaller government" and think government should not promote "traditional values." So they like conservative ideas on government and economics, but the left's social agenda, that isn't good news.
Aside from the obvious, it also makes conservative economics impossible, it is a contradiction.

Little l libertarian is akin to conservatism, whereas the Big L Libertarian Party Are exactly the same.
Libertarians did not create their party to be in contradiction with themselves and libertarian ideals and it isn't.
The reason libertarians tell that lie is because they want to keep their agenda vague, not defined.

it is up to the people themselves, not the government to determine what is traditional values. Should we enforce Puritan traditional values or Catholic or Hindu?
running to Uncle Sam everytime we feel like something has been wronged isn't healthy for a society. In the end G-d will judge a nation's transgressions.
