You won't use the Republican Party platform to define republicanism, but you will use the Libertarian Party platform to define libertarianism.

Perhaps that's a good discussion point. Libertarians (Big-L and small-l) are constantly defending ourselves against others who attempt to define our beliefs using their metaphors and names. Would one of the staunch R-bots please define what republicanism is?

It seems appropriate under the circumstances.

Not getting any takers, I see.
