How about actually trying it here? God knows liberalism, socialism, reformism and "compassionate conservatism" coupled with "familiy values" have sure as heck had their chance at it over the last 100 years or so, and have led us straight to the present mess.
At least the social programs that breed irresponsibility by allowing the dregs of society to have more time and energy for copulation to breed the next generation of stumbling blocks would stop. Furthermore, even though I don't agree with their open border stance, I don't see as how a totally open border would be much different to what we have now.

Because there is not a majority in this country who believe in personal responsibility. That is why things are going like they are now. That is also why Libertarians wanted to move to a small state and take it over. They could try their ideas and, if they worked, point it out to skeptics (which I am one). I am just wondering what happened with that plan.
Actually, I don't think Libertarians could agree on anything long enough to change a lighbulb, but I am willing to see if they can dempnstrate they are right.
Actually, the LP doesn't have an "open border" stance. They believe in unrestricted LEGAL immigration, with very harsh enforcement of illegal immigration, which poses a grave security threat to the country. If you want to come in to work, fine...Go through a background check and all of the proper procedures and you are welcome. Everybody coming here for another reason should be stopped cold.
