"No it doesn't. The LP has a foreign policy statement. Shall I dig it out? It starts with open borders..."

Yes it does, but if you'd read my entire post instead of rushing to pigeonhole me, you might have noticed that I clearly stated that "...I am not a big "L" libertarian, contrary to the inferences many draw from my freepername." If we're going to go judging on freepernames alone without reading posts, I bet you have muttonchop sideburns, wear overalls, smell like a horse, and don't belong on a computer. The LP's statement of principles is neither mine nor Boortz's, and both my prior post and my freeper homepage bear this out, and if you want to check out Boortz's differences just google "Boortz speak Libertarian Party."

Maybe, but when you call yourself a libertarian, there's some baggage there. If you deviate from that, fine, but it's not a libertarian stance.

Open borders is very consistent with libertarianism and is the default stance for even the "small" l-ers.

We've got all the Arabists coming out of the woodwork on this issue. I always knew it to be a problem, look at how the Norquist scandal got papered over way back when. But even I am surprised by their multitude and ideological tunnel vision. If the GOP's only hope is to coddle the Arabists (and more relevantly, their bag men?) then we probably deserve to take a fall. Maybe we'd learn a lesson.
