Top issues for Libertarians:

1) Surrendering to al-Quaeda
2) Opening our national borders to everyone.
3) Legalizing drugs.
4) Legalizing prostitution.

It's just hard to take the Libertarians seriously.

The problem with pure libertarians is the fact that they get to the word ‘freedom’ and stop thinking right there. Pure libertarianism is selfishness with no thought about the effect on society.

For instance the claim that legalizing drugs will empty our prisons. The fact is that there are very few people in prison for simple drug use. Most are there for crimes they committed while under the influence of the drugs or in an attempt to get the drugs. If you legalize crack, you aren’t going to create model citizens who just happen to like crack. Instead you now have a guy who robs or steals to support his now legal habit.

I see you use the big L when not taking Libertarians seriously. Most who consider themselves libertarians dont necessarily follow that party’s line.

Fighting a real war on terrorism instead of nation-building

2) Opening our national borders to everyone.

Borders are already open under Bush and the GOP

3) Legalizing drugs

Drugs are still illegal & people are abusing them

4) Legalizing prostitution

None of your business what private citizens do with their lives

Either source your claims, or recant. (Please stop makin’ stuff up.)

Your bigotry and ignorance is shameful.
