Those aren't " Libertarian principles " any more than it is a Libertarian principle, that allowed slavery to exist, now, is it ? :-)

Actually, there are Libertarians on FR who defend slavery, as long as it is done under the guise of "contract."

See http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3aad218b5c77.htm

"...libertarian belief that rights must be honored; that all men are equal before the law; that the law must be based upon written standards and not upon judicial fiat; that the government must not arbitrarily take powers not granted to it..."

Oh, yes indeed, those ARE libertarian principles! :-)

And by the way, libertarian principles say that all men should, by God-given right, be free.

Slavery is against libertarian principles.

You knew that, now didn't you? :-)

"...if not libertarian principles, what system of beliefs created our rule of law?"

Okay, nopardons, maybe you can answer my question, since Roscoe can't.

If, as you claim, our nation wasn't created by a belief in libertarian principles, what principles were followed in the creation of our country?
