You keep right on shilling for adulterated gasoline and the rest of us will continue to see you for what you are, a 'republican' that thinks it is proper for the government to distort markets to their hearts content, as long as the right palms get greased. Your version of socialism where the government can, at its whim, tell us what we must buy and sell is an anathema to those of us who prefer freedom to the government's control of the means and methods of production.

You're absolutely right that I consider myself to have a more 'libertarian' outlook, than the soft form of socialism pushed by the Republican party, or the harder version championed by the delusional Democrats.

I find myself in good company:

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is." - Ronald Reagan.

Yeah right. That’s why libertarians have been called liberfarians as they favor the homosexualists and why they have also favored open borders to bring in the 3rd worlders. They also favor ad nauseum not helping foreign nations attacked by tyrants; a thousand times I have heard this, we libertarians need to stay out. With that attitude tyrants would never have to fear a Good Samaritan might come along and help the defenseless. Odd that you would attack republicans then quote Ronald Reagan. Tell us what, name one thing, the libertarians have ever accomplished? Oh, I forgot they had a Governor in New Mexico, the #1 welfare recipient state.
