There seem to be two libertarian parties or a huge campaign against them. Aren’t libertarians against big government and for more freedom. What is wrong with less government, less taxes, less micromanagement and more freedom?

If that were true then they would be conservatives, but let’s look at what they really are, and why their fantasy politics really result in more leftism.

Libertarians are not conservative, they are radical leftist except on economic issues.

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”, eliminate the Border Patrol and INS.

Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.

Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments full 9 months.

Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.

Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science and marketers can come up with, zero restrictions.

Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.

Military Strength; minimal capabilities.

They are also in favor of gay marriage (or any kind of marriage, no marriage, marriage to farm animals, whatever), abortion and drug use. They oppose the use of military force until the enemy is at your front door, regulation of industry and any kind of coerced association. In other words, you should be free to not be a part of any government if you don't want to, leading to this: "I live in this country, but am not American and don't accept any responsibility for anything or anyone but myself."

To me, Libertarianism is unworkable idiocy and anti-human. We are social creatures and always organize ourselves into social units of one type or another that cannot work without general acceptance. We ARE all Americans.

Libertarianism is also anti-faith. I am a Christian and believe that God is sovereign, and that His law is eternal and true. Libertarians believe that the individual is sovereign and that truth is, of course, relative.

To me, Libertarians are Liberals with lower taxes.

No. Liberals are FOR higher taxes and bigger government. Their eagerness to legalize drugs is proof of that.
