[FreeLibertarian]

My mind is made up about Libertarianism just as it is about Fascism, Communism, Islamism and other idealist, unsupportable, ideologically totalitarian governments. Libertarians want to take our republic and turn it into a virtual tribunal, to ban every governmental action that does not leave the most possible liberty and moral license conceivable under the Constitution. It is as if there is no responsibility to govern in order to "provide for the general welfare," as well as to secure our liberties. It is not Americanism. Libertarianism is anarchy in mock constitutional clothing.

The governments ability to "provide for the general welfare," can and has been used and abused to create the welfare state that we currently live in. It can be stretched to include controlling tobacco, foods, SUV's and a million other things that are harmful in someway to somebody. Some group will always be able to find a reason to control someone elses behavior in order to acheive a "more perfect society". That is why we must return to a constitutional government. Otherwise we will eventually fall into a total dictatorship no matter how good the original intentions.

I don't care what political party to which you belong. I will fiercely protect my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in whatever way I choose.

It is getting late and the coyotes are howling on the mesa behind the corral. I'm going to let my Great Pyranees team outside to chase them off and go to bed. Good night.
