"Libertarian voters were repulsed by the religious right's impulses to deny gays the right to marry and to interfere with Michael Schiavo's decisions about his wife Terri's end of life."

No we weren't.

Trying real hard to remember when the Libertarians last marched on behalf of gay rights ~ hmmm.

The Schiavo thing, though, bunch of 'em defected to the idea of letting husbands just kill their wives.

Not sure that's Libertarianism, but I somewhat suspect they have more than their fair share of divorces.

Nobody would have denied terri Shiavo's right to die if she had a living will. We just didn't trust her sleazeball pseudohusband who pocketed the malpractice money and bedded another women.

Me neither. Where do these guys come up with this stuff? Is it completely made up?

No Libertarian would want the Government re-defining words that have had a fixed meaning for millennia to suit a trendy homosexual agenda.

Neither would we condone starving someone to death - with government sanction or without it. What this guy seems to be saying is that Libertarians oppose laws against murder, at least where the victim is ill and had been married to the perpetrator at one time.

Rubbish. And considering the source, its not surprising to find it there.

Neither the author of the article or the poster of this thread can say that it is a libertarian ideal allowing one judge to order the execution of a person without a trial by a jury of their peers...

Considering the source of the article and the poster who brought it here, I am extremely suspicious... There is a homosexual agenda angle...


the libertarian nonprofit Cato Institute,...

The 501(c) tax-exempt corporation... They get cushy corporate welfare salaries subsidized by your taxes... Hypochrites!
