“The Libertarian Party of today is in favor of no holds barred porn, the entire spectrum of the GLBT etc agenda, all drugs legalized, and legalized prostitution.

Do you think Reagan was in favor of all of the above?”

First, I posted Reagan’s own words, nothing about the Libertarian Party.

Second, I have no idea about how Reagan would come down on what you said.

Finally, I personally favor more personal freedom, less government.

I don’t trust government, so I want it to be too poor, to have resources for enforcing morality beyond bare minimums.

Did you read recently about our United States Treasury Dept. supervised Special Agents, in Columbia?

The thing worth considering is your party won’t always direct, supervise the government with all of its powers. So keep the government small, confined by money and manpower limits.

As such it won’t be able to enforce very many rules.

People, families, neighborhoods, churches will enforce human behavior limits, to the extent it is possible.

I’m sure we disagree. I don’t drink or use drugs. But I grant the next person the freedom to do so. I draw lines with methamphetamine, which I think is over the line.

And of course no supplying drugs to minors, either. No driving under the influence.

Any crimes committed under the influence punished harshly, for the crime.

Smoking pot at home, listening to tunes and eating chips and dip, no problem.

I don’t want a big enough police force (or budget), to kick down that pot smokers door.

Oh, so you can’t answer.

PS - there’s a difference between federal gov and state gov, you know.

And you don’t know if we disagree or not, since I have not stated my positions. Nor have you, other than obliquely. But you certinaly insinuated that Reagan would have ssented to the Libertarian viewpoints I described above.
