That's a bit of an over simplification, and again many Libertarians take different approaches. Me? I support our particular military action of self-defense against those who attacked us. However, that's the extent of my support. Catch/kill the bad guys and come home.

You say Libertarians are not some monolithic entity that marches lockstep with the party ideology, but you condemn Republicans and say your a libertarian because they don't? The LP has no track record; you have no idea what they would do if they were actually in power. You think (wish) that when in power, the people are just going to say, yea, go ahead and open our borders and legalize drugs.

Actually Libertarians disagree on many issues some of the more notable being the "war" (I don't rememeber one being declared) on terrorism, abortion, and completely open borders. When the Libertarian forum open to the public you'll have to stop by an check just how much we argue amoungst ourselves. The big key for Libertariansism is the return to a Constitution government and committment to responsible personal freedom and liberty.

The LP has no track record; you have no idea what they would do if they were actually in power.

The party is only 31 years old. Quite young wouldn't you say. How long have the Republicans had their "track record"? You know the one where they sit around and allow UNConstituional forms of government to not only exist but grow. The LP would seek to rid out country of UNConstitutional big government. I guess that's a bad thing for you hard-liner types.

You think (wish) that when in power, the people are just going to say, yea, go ahead and open our borders and legalize drugs.

Well, if the LP does make to "power" in some big way, does it not makes sense that they would have had to of had "people" vote for them? So yeah, if the LP was in power I would suspect that many of the "people" would be supportive of these issues.
