I more than substantially explained and presented evidence of the Libertarian Party context in the first six paragraphs of my reply #88.

And I've been countering your slurs on [small 'l'] american libertarians since our dialog on this thread started.
As I've noted, you seem obsessed with hatred for libertarianism to the point that you falsely claim to be one in order to misrepresent libertarian views on the US Constitution.

Feel free to continue your little 'crusade', as I will continue to expose it as libertarian bashing mania.

As I set out in my reply #88, the discussion you entered into had to do with libertarian ideas as they relate to the Libertarian Party. Since the Libertarian Party, as well as even anarchist libertarians, are a significant part of the over all libertarian movement, any thing said about libertarianism in general, automatically encompasses them.

Your reply #81, to the comment by "secretagent" in #44, on his summary of the LP principle (which can be quite accurately viewed as a lower case libertarian also), was made into an already existing discussion of libertarianism as it is advocated by the Libertarian Party. Secretagent's comment that you replied to set out the same principle as the LP in its first two sentences. Secretagent then went on to state in his in his third and last sentence that:

This stands independent of, and expands the zone of freedom beyond, the federal constitution.

On which you reply:

Independant & beyond? - Not at all. Rational libertarians are honor bound to our Constitutions principles, as we all are..

My disagreement with your narrow authoritarian "not at all" comment and follow up explanation as a restriction on libertarians (lower or capitol), was in no way an attack on libertarianism.

Your claim that you have been countering my "slurs on [small 'l'] american libertarians" is quite grandiose, as I have only been replying to your words.

I disagreed with your comment, and pointed out the authoritarian aspect of your words. You are not the embodiment of all libertarianism. A disagreement with your words, does not automatically mean a disagreement with libertarianism.

Of course I could be wrong here. Do you have any source material to support this notion of yours?
