The LP's statement of principles is neither mine nor Boortz's

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.

And when you call yourself AmishDude there's some baggage there. What of it? If I call myself Chappaquiddick Ted my opinions are still mine, not his. I'm weary of the discussion, and have no interest in changing my screenname to accommodate people who cannot understand what I've said plainly (I don't see anyone but you in doubt as to where I stand) and even posted to my freeper homepage. Why should I deal with months of 'noob' or 'troll' accusations every time I deviate from the GOP party line, because some people can't get past a screen name?

Did you know that Ronald Reagan called libertarianism the "heart and soul of conservatism"?

That is nonsense. Look at any FR illegal immigration thread. The posters weakest on the topic tend to be Bush syncophants.
