“Libertarian ping!”


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.

Well, we need to look at the diffrent brands...there is classical liberalism and then you have the left libertarians and anarchists types. Abolishing borders or open borders essentially means you are abolishing the nation-state and relegating us to a global village...which to me is quite a radical departure and contrary to our founding as a republic. I certianly oppose radical individualism...which is beinjg thrust upon us by cultural marxism and is simply hedonism. I have many libertarian leanings, but I’m no libertine advocating social anarchy, which is why I’m a conservative.

Even Mises opposed "open borders" -

"These considerations are not a plea for opening America and the British Dominions to German, Italian, and Japanese immigrants. Under present conditions America and Australia would simply commit suicide by admitting Nazis, Fascists, and Japanese. They could as well surrender directly to the Fűhrer and to the Mikado. Immigrants from the totalitarian countries are today the vanguard of their armies, a fifth column whose invasion would render all measures of defense useless. America and Australia can preserve their freedom, their civilization, and their economic institutions only by rigidly barring access to the subjects of the dictators."--Mises

I am pinging myself to this link for further research and study - but it won’t be because of your “libertarian Party Platform ping”
