Thank you for the compliment and reaching out.
But I will never understand something about the Libertarians on FR.
They are for drug legalization and post incessantly about it as the holy grail, yet you say are against illegal immigration while the Libertarian party is bascially all for it(i.e The Libertarian platform of no borders). Basically the Libertarians agree with John Kerry on issues(drug legalization and immigration).
I know, I know, Libertarians will say that John Kerry is not for drug legalization, but we all basically know if Kerry(or Clinton for that matter) had their way their would be no laws against drugs.
Kinda of like the game Kerry plays when he states that he is against gay marriage, but we all know from his public comments that he has no qualms against it.
Huh? When have either of those guys been in favor of greater personal liberty & scaling back government regulations?
I vehemently oppose the LP's "open borders" plank in the wake of 9/11, and have written letters to the party leadership critical of it. Even before 9/11 I was always a bit skeptical about open borders.

Doubtful. The Rats only care about their gaining and keeping political power, and nothing so illustrates the naked power of the state as its drug prohibition apparatus. Kerry and Clinton both couldn't care less about average Americans going to jail on drug charges, even if they and their elite buddies toot half of Peru up their noses! And remember: 'ol Billy Jeff never inhaled ! :-)

This is a bit different than the drug issue, as the gay marriage conundrum strays into the dangerous realm (for Democrats) of political correctness. If Kerry moves too far to the left on this issue, he'll risk alienating the traditional working-class union Democrat base, but if he goes too far to the right, the shrill p.c. gay advocacy crowd and the partisan media types will scream bloody murder about his violation of one of the sacred tenets of political correctness. It should be interesting to see how that plays out over the next few months.
