What's sillier still,are FR's Libertarian s who claim that they don't agree with ANY of the LP platform,but still cavil about what "good" Libertarians they are and how everyone else is a mordant idiot for not being one. LOL

If they don't agree with the LP, then they are small-l libertarians, not big-L Libertarians. Heck of a big difference.

Small-l libertarians go by the principles laid out by the Republican Liberty Caucus, a group which JimRob endorses and allows to host their forum here. Large-L Libertarians are kooks that oppose the war on terror, pine for open borders, and wish to legalize drugs extra-constitutionally. Y'all are not the first ones to confuse the two. It's easy to overlook the capitalization. Here's what the big guy has to say about it...

I have no problem with libertarians. In fact, I see eye to eye with them on most issues.

Nope,actually many big L Libertarians here,have repeatedly said that though they disagree with 99% of everything the LP says,they are still big L Libertarians.Many big Lers saw the light after 9/11,though.That's when they decided to be little Lers,since yes,the big L ones are almost to a man/woman KOOKS!

You may have missed the one here,who repeatedly posted that there isn't anything at all wrong with child pornography and that he believed that the age of consent,for sex,should be 10;as should be the age one can vote,be.Then there were the ones who still say that the WoT is a fraud. I could go on and detail everything I've read here,posted by both big and little Lers;but that would be a waste of time and bandwidth.

And to tell people such as Howlin and myself,who have been here far longer than you have,know,for a certainty,what has gone on here for years,that we don't know what we're talking about,is puerile and egotism,on your part. We haven't told you what you think/know. LOL

Over the past 6+ years,I have seen Jim's views changed on any number of political things;Libertarianism included.To quote what he said 4 years ago,is thus silly in the extreme.Don't imagine that YOU can talk for him on that. Except for CCPing his various statements of the rules,is an act of supreme hubris!
