I struck a nerve did I? Over target - receiving flak and all that, huh?
Look; I could link child porn to the libertarian mindset if I wanted to, but that’s not the issue I’ll make at this time.
What is the issue, what is obvious to all here at FR - and becoming clearer by the day - is that modern libertarianism is anathema to all things conservative. Its immoral.
I’d no sooner support a libertarian than a RINO. And the sooner you social libs understand this is the overriding ideal here at FR and get on board with conservative values, the better off you’ll be.
I totally agree
>> modern libertarianism is anathema to all things conservative. Its immoral.
Well, libertarianism is about enforcement, not morality. Your issue, R2, is with modern liberalism, not libertarianism. Liberalism and conservatism describe morality. Statism and libertarianism are the enforcement factors.
The Libertarian Party has about as much in common with libertarianism, as does the Democrat Party with democracy, and the Republican Party with republicanism. That said, there is a significant element of Liberalism within the Libertarian Party. So when folks like you, R2, condemn popular Libertarianism, I can understand why; however, it doesn’t make sense to nettle the libertarian FReepers that have made it clear they’re not Liberal, but state unequivocally to be conservative.
Some say libertarianism is a mere step above anarchy. Well, understand that in an anarchic society, the confirmed pedophiles would be hunted and summarily executed. Have no doubt about that.
