He did run as a Libertarian candidate for President, so his opinions do reflect upon the LP.

Some people say the same thing about Stalin and Communism. It hardly is a proof. What is sure is that Libertarians are pro-China in many cases and their antigovernment stance is used as a stance against America itself to the profit of enemies. Worse, Libertarians promote dependencies (such as their disregard of the effect of drugs) while clamoring for near anarchic independence. THey are the leftist anarchics dream come true.

Gee whiz, why do we keep having this same argument again, and again. Are you people really that dense? Sure, Harry Browne is wrong on this one. I think the libertarian party is also wrong on the immigration issue. But where in the world do you get the idea that libertarians have an "antigovernemt stance"? Libertarians are pro-government. It is just that the government they support is one that is founded in and bound by the Constitution. And promoting dependencies? You are kidding, right? Individual responsibility is the backbone of the libertarian philosophy. If people make choices that result in their ending up dependent on something, that's their business, but they would not end up dependent on the American taxpayer, as many are today. And anarchic independence? If you believe that a Constitutional government is anarchy, perhaps you should consider that maybe you have become comfortable in a government with ever increasing power on the slide to socialism.
