Reading sloganeering is very boring. When and if libertarians eschew the platform of the Libertarian Party, then we can have an honest discussion. Or, alternately, if they honestly say they agree with the LP platform.

Until that time, slogans are boring. Very, very boring.

I am not:

a statist
a liberal
a conservative
a leftist
a libertarian

I am a constitutionalist. And I agree with the founders many of whom made very clear statements about the necesity of morality being the foundation of society and that our form of government will not work if the people in general are immoral.

Another point is that libertarians who say the fedgov should not be making legislation about morality, I agree 100%. The states should have the freedom to make such laws.

But libertarians don’t want the states to make such laws, either. So they are basically a mixture of anarchists, ultra leftists and kooks.

Sure, definitions are boring, but they’re not slogans. I hope a constitutionalist would agree.

The fed should set the minimum age of consent to be at least the age required for military service, and protect nascent life. The states can handle the rest.

I regularly make myself clear concerning the quality of LP.
