We’ve pretty much had open borders for a long time and neither the d’s or r’s will fix that, so why not stop the expensive kabuki theater going on with INS and the border patrol?
I never saw anything in the constitution giving the feds the power to get in the business of sanctioning marriage. I’m happy to leave to the creator, the church and individuals. I think the 10th amendment left that one to the states.
Abortion, again, 10th amendment. If you think it’s murder it belongs with the states anyway, not the feds.
Porn...if college girls want to get naked in front of a camera to pay the bills, that’s her business as long as no one is being forced to buy or watch it.
Drugs. How is that drug war working out after several decades? Is it the only thing keeping you from becoming a junky? How many people were murdered over control of the scotch and gin trade in your town? Are you an alcoholic because it’s legal?
Advertizing the above...I quit watching TV a couple of years ago. Tried to watch recently but it was like reading the contents of my email’s spam bucket. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Market forces and all that.
Military strength...you’re going to get that smaller military anyway when the d’s and r’s finish burying the country in unpayable debt and the fraud based economy crashes. That’s just math, not ideology.
So you support the entire social and cultural agenda of the left, including partial birth abortion and homosexual marriage, and you are honest about supporting the libertarian position of truly, opening the borders, here is their platform on that.
This is the actual, 2004 text of the Libertarian Party Platform on immigration.
COMPLETE PLATFORM TEXT
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND CIVIL ORDER
IMMIGRATION:
The Issue: We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new “Berlin Wall” which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government’s policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.
The Principle: We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age or sexual preference. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.
Solutions: We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.
Transitional Action: We call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.
