> open borders is wrong
I agree.
> legal drugs is wrong
This culture is saturated in legal drugs. Making a few illegal hasn’t served any purpose other than to escalate the level of violence in the society and shred protection of inalienable rights.
> amnesty is wrong
I agree again!
> perverting kids is wrong
I also agree.
> “Liberty” is not license
Liberty means you don’t need to appeal for permission while exercising your rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The great majority of libertarian Republicans are also very conservative. What makes us distinct is that we strive for the long view, and in doing so we understand that anything but the most restrained and modest government will inevitably grow to become the greatest threat to the security of the people, as is the case today. The other distinct feature of libertarians is that we know what is rightfully our business and keep our noses out of what isn’t.
“The great majority of libertarian Republicans are also very conservative.”
Does supporting traditional conservative economics and foreign policy makes one libertarian? The self-procalimed libertarians that post here seems to think so. But as conservatives point out to them time and time again, the other 1/2 of libertarian ideology (+ the party) embraces some of the most un-conservitive destructive social policies that conservastives believe it is possible to take. Abortion alone makes libertarian ideology anethma to conservatives. Every time a conservative calls this out, libertarians on this site either pretend that the social stuff is invisible (downplay it), scold conservatives that they really don’t understand libertarian ideology, or become “cafeteria Catholics” and tell us how we must pick and choose our issues - thus letting yourself off the ideological hook for the social stuff.
You guys get to call yourself whatever you want, right, but are you really even “libertarian”?
