The “hodge podge” of positions was about addressing positions I saw you accuse libertarians of being on the wrong side. So, no hodge podge, just a response.
Um, I never said I was OK with gays in the military. I said there was no place for ANY sexuality in it. I do not care if someone is gay in the privacy of their own home, just not, as I stated, in the military. I am starting to get the impression that you want to outlaw homosexuality, using the force of government. If I am wrong, let’s hear your solution. I have gleaned from your posts that government power should be used to advance YOUR wishes. How are you any different than the Dem/Fascists out there?
I did address civil unions, they should be recognized because they are a function of government. I thought that was self-explanatory. Should the government not recognize them? Then what would be the point?
I know many libertarians who agree with me on national defense and abortion. This is why I cannot understand your irrational hatred for libertarians. We agree on may issues.
As far as child porn is concerned, I do not stand with the Party on that or many other issues. I tell you what. I will judge you based on what the Republican Party does, and you can continue to judge all libertarians on what the Libertarian Party does...deal? because that is what you are doing to us libertarians right now.
Describing the positions of libertarianism is not an accusation, it is what libertarianism stands for.
If you want homosexuals banned by law from the military, then I misunderstood you, but I didn’t, you merely said that you want them to hide their homosexuality, but don’t try to talk about no “sexuality” in the military, the military is a hot bed of sexuality, it is full of aggressive and physically fit young people, overwhelmingly male.
We are past civil unions, now we are trying to block Obama’s recognition of gay marriage at the federal level, so you can drop that.
At some point you have to realize that no one cares about whether you yourself are a pure libertarian, or fall short on your commitment to your ideology, the discussion is about libertarianism itself, and it’s war against conservatism, not you.
It is silly to compare the tiny, pure, libertarian party that was founded by the libertarians to PERFECTLY reflect their libertarian ideals, and which is carefully maintained and kept on the true path of libertarian purity, with the two huge, vast, all encompassing, historical national parties in a two party system.
A libertarian party platform is a meeting of pure libertarians, concentrating on expressing libertarian purity on paper, not winning presidential elections and satisfying 60 million voters.
By the way, on your home page you describe yourself as a republican, and a conservative, are you either/both?
If you are, then why are you coming on as a member of the libertarian movement?
I thought I was talking to a libertarian.
