LOL, are you so out of touch that you don’t know what “traditional American values” are as you promote a liberatrian/leftist social agenda?
You support this left wing agenda? Count how many your fellow travelers have already succeeded at during the last 50 years, and then ponder the result, it moves us farther to the left and makes conservative economics impossible.
Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.
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, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
I just try and trust the American people. Up until 100 years or so ago pot was legal. And look what the government has done with the war on drugs. When before it was up to the individual. That is why we caution against "well intentioned" meddling like that.
We are on the same side. This is why the founders hated parties. Its a time for learning and growing for us all.
All those "new normals" you are attributing as an agenda of libertarians or the Libertarian Party are misleading. I believe the point is that the federal government should have no part of what brand of shoe you wear, what sort of medical coverage one elects to have, or how often a man may have sex with his wife... or go out for ice cream. The place for evaluating stuff like homos in the military is in open society. Personally, I have had one good gay friend in my life, and he was an angry, petty, little wretch of a man... but still, he was a good friend. The point is that society should be responsible for deciding what it consider socially acceptable... or if homos ought to be taken seriously. Even if the queer agenda is so "loud and proud", I believe a majority of people in society see homosexual men simply as perversions of nature that have turdmeat on the tip of their peckers.
