[Always Right]

That was a real good strategy back in the 1800's, before there were nuclear submarines, airplanes, and long-range missles.

[Petronski]

"Pulling U.S. troops out of nations where they don't belong would make America much safer than appointing a thousand new intelligence czars."

Only a childish, dope-addled mind could produce such a policy.

[RockinRight]

I somehow doubt that taking all our troops out of the Middle East will make the Muslim Extremists stop hating us.

[GSWarrior]

It's getting harder and harder to be a Libertarian these days.

[George Smiley]

This is why I'm a small-l libertarian instead of a Large-L one.

[dasboot]

If I weren't home, and a bad guy busted into my place, and my wife was being raped, and my kids beaten...as a prelude to being killed, would my Libertarian neighbor meddle?

I know my dog would be safe...the other neighbor's PETA.

[dennisw]

Once more confirmed that Libertarians are juvenile fools.

[COEXERJ145]

If one votes Libertarian, they might as well vote for John F'ing Kerry.

Actually, when it comes to foreign policy, the two don't seem to be too far off.

[Steven W.]

Confirmed again, Losertarians are Moore-ons!

[Dog Gone]

I agree with many Libertarian positions, but this is not one of them. It's also why we must never elect one to the Presidency.

Who cares what these lamebrains think?

[Sam the Sham]

I have always found it hilarious that whenever you confront a libertarian about his ridiculous views on defense his stock answer is to say, "Ever heard of Vietnam ?", apparently implying that a militia is all that is needed.

Hey, the NVA and Viet Cong paid a horrendous human cost for their victory. They lived in tunnels and caves in the Iron Triangle for ten years. Would libertarians live in tunnels and caves for ten minutes ? Would people imbued with the philosophy that they don't owe anyone anything suffer and sacrifice and die the way the NVA and Viet Cong did ?

[BossLady]

LOL! That what I was thinking!!! ;)

[VaBthang4]

LOL

[Oztrich Boy]

I feel the same way about republicans.

[WhiteGuy]

"Instead of making America safer, Republicans and Democrats have opted once again to make government bigger,"


True Statement

[knews_hound]

And they wonder why the mainstream considers Libertarians kooks and flakes.

This is without question, one of the stupidest articles I have ever read.

I agree completely. This guy's Presidential campaign site is a nutjob wishlist for campaign positions - everything from recognizing the "secret Constitutional amendment" to treating 9/11 as merely a criminal matter for the Manhattan district attorney's office to investigate.

Besides, the most effective way to prevent terrorism is converting to Islam and submitting to Sharia law and the rule of the successors of the Prophet. That's what our enemies want, and the only thing that will satisfy them. The Libertarians don't want to believe that's true, and I can't really blame them for wishing that it wasn't so. But the rest of us have to live in the real world.
