Making up your own terms and phrases does not change the Libertarian party platform and the laughable fact that they only have 226,000 registered members
That Reagan quote is from 1975 when the still tiny libertarian party was just starting, in fact I attended my first meeting that year. He also separated himself from the libertarians three sentences later so don’t confuse people with that quote by a Republican leader.
Ronald Reagan 1975:
“Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy.”
To think that he would be embracing all this 35 years later is ridiculous.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political borders”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising drugs, prostitution, pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
There is a huge difference there in the words "in the sense of a Party"
I know what the Libertarian Party platform is, you don't need to keep repeating it like a parrot.
In fact, what Reagan actually said proves the differentiation between "libertarianism" and "Libertarian", but you don't want to see the difference because your argument can't hold up without it. You are creating a straw man so you can knock it don.
Ron Paul is a "libertarian" who is anti-abortion, pro-border control far more so than most traditional Republicans.
Instead, you want to just replace the Godless nanny staters with God-fearing nanny staters and you are trying to make an argument to do it. But statism is statism and it is the antithesis of the freedoms that this country was founded on.
