Yo, dude. Over here.
I used to fancy myself a liberatrian, but "no mas, amigo!"
Losertarians.
How long will it take their meeting to bring up history's real tragedy...the War on Drugs??!!!
I use to be a libertarian. This kind of nonsense isn't going to bring me back, that's for sure. As long as there are infidels in the world the true Islamic believers are going to try and kill or convert them. The one's who say they are Moslem but don't kill for Allah are not following the tenants of their evil religion.
Being a libertarian for the most part myself, I readily admit that the libertarian philosophy is always going to have holes when it comes public goods.
National Defense, as well as other public goods, can never be truly resolved by libertarian philosophy, with its instinct to simply privatize everything. But somethings can't be privatized, and the libertarin position on those issues are always going to be inadequate in dealing with such subjects.
Flippin' morons...
The left is very welcome to them.
I have to wholeheartidly concur...
I have never voted for a Libertarian, I am going to on Nov. 7, the one running against McCain.
Yo, dude. Over here.
I find myself using the terminology that I've heard Professor Walter Williams use...
"Jeffersonian Liberal."
That pretty much works for me. The actual Libertarian Party has gone around the bend. For the most part, I agree with many of the tennants, but the party really does look like a bunch of "Whack Jobs."
I share many of the same ideals as Walter Williams and Neal Boortz.

I'm a libertarian and this an outrage. I find this sickening.
Smokin dope.
Open borders.
Blame America First.
What's to like about this party, in post 9/11/2001 America?
Little to nothing.
The biggest problem with libertarianism is that only a small percentage of the people that make up humanity could live in a libertarian society without tearing it apart. I estimate the percentage at 15%-20%, if that.
A large portion of society is too dumb to understand concepts like "the non-initiation of force," let alone practice them. Another large portion of society are outright criminals that laugh at libertarian concepts.
Libertarianism runs into the same problems Socialism and Communism have - they make assumptions about humanity that just don't exist in most cases.
Morons. No wonder they get 1%.
I believe in freedom, small Government, and low taxes too ... but I also believe in defending it by supporting our nation through a strong national defense.
Libertarian isolationism is about as quaint and wrong as hoping to repeal the Federal Reserve Board.
I guess I gotta find a new name for my political philosophy.
Are we absolutely positive this story is correct? Could the WSJ be confused with Librarians.
Anyone have a picture of the smurf they ran for US Senate in Montana? The guy was ingesting Silver Nitrate (a toxin) to protect himself from Y2K and ended up with white hair and blue skin - one of the several side-effects of Silver toxicity.
Just when you start to take them seriously, they go and do something like that! As our Jewish Freepers might say - Oy Vey!
I worked at the time at an international corporation that was ground to a halt due to so many people being stranded due to the grounding of air travel, and remember spending that entire day on FR, angry as a cobra at the "libertarian" idiots who didn't learn the history about 1) how quasi-demigod Hirohito wanted to make the Pacific Ocean his own domain (including Australia!) and 2) how Switzerland remained "neutral" by being the center of laundered Nazi loot and was non-affiliated by agreement with the Axis powers.
