Libertarians are a step away from being anarchists.

The typical saw is that libertarians are all for laws that protect the individual against "force or fraud." If this is anarchistic in your opinion, you're either politically unintelligent or intent on behaving like a petulant child, stamping her feet, holding her breath until she's blue in the face.

Trisham just posted this above:

From the Libertarian party platform:

1.3 Personal Relationships

Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the
government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption,
immigration or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, license or
restrict personal relationships. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices
and personal relationships.

1.4 Abortion

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

The LP promotes libertinsim. ‘Nuff said.

Address what I've stated instead of resorting to personal attacks. When a poster starts to attack it means they have lost the debate and have nowhere else to go but down.

I gave you dictionary definitions. Can you refute them or not?

Libertarians are typically against any laws, especially those which are most moral in nature. They want limited government only so that they can engage in any immoral behavior they want with no consequences.

That is what's going to result in anarchy.
