Islamic Fundamentalistic Terrorism?
Your own Government?
I make no attempt to respond on behalf of either tpaine or PlainOleAmerican. They can do that for themselves.
I will, however, suggest, that many in America today see a threat from both fronts. And some on the Libertarian side (certainly not all by any means) believe that the threat from Islamic Fundamental Terrorism can be dealt with legally and politically, therefore the threat from our own Government is the more insidious and dangerous one. In this manner, these 'believers' are akin to the 'Truthers' we see on the left.
First all, my apologies to you. I addressed the post to you more as a courtesy than a requesting a response.
I consider Ron Paul to be a Lew Rockwell libertarian. He is listed as a contributor to Lew Rockwell and anti-war web sites. If you spend some time on those sites, you’ll find many articles which do propose that the US government is the larger threat. A central theme is that war is the principal tool used by governments to expand their power. Some authors do believe that the US government is not beyond manufacturing a war to expand power. By the way both sites have featured ‘truther’ articles.
