[Ten Megaton Solution]

If the property owners of a town decide that zoning out porn shops and abortion clinics is something they want to do, an outside force does not have the right to tell them they must have porn shops and abortion clinics.

Actually, the proper libertarian thing to do if a group of citizens objects to their local topless bar or porno shop, is for them to scrape up their own money (gasp! horrors! NO! NO! Not their own money!) and buy the owner of the offending establishment out.

Otherwise, they're simply using the power of the state to enforce their veiws of morality, and are no different in principal than the Nazi that ordered the Jew shoemaker out of business.

While that is a pragmatic solution to a problem that follows libertarian praxeology, your comparison to zoning laws to the Nazi's is a great example of the intellectual foolishness of ideological doctrinaire libertarians.

But that is the real issue with the Libertarian Party; its an apolitical philosophy and thus will have trouble making any in roads anywhere.

I posted on this thread not to debate the minutae with real libertarians, but to call the author a phony. Per usual, libertarians tend to be more interested in debating minutae than in forming political groups to oppose the statist apologists.
