No joke is right.

Libertarians promote a vile, vicious, sicko, wacko form of political philosophy. It has little in common with traditional, mainstream conservative values. Aside from some libertarians agreeing with conservatives and many republicans, that fiscal restraint, lower taxes/tax reform and smaller government, is the way to go, nothing else about the libertarian agenda makes any sense for America. That's why most people reject the Libertarian Party platform. The truth hurts, but it must be told. Read the platform. Libertarians are fiscally conservative, socially liberal and wrong most of the time.

If you want to pick and choose your political posiitons, like its a Chinese menu, don't be so quick to associate yourselves directly with the Libertarian Party. In other words, if you define yourself as a libertarian, then you must be held accountable for the positions of the Libertarian Party platform.

Does this apply to libertarians who live in foreign countries?

-- And you are a vile, vicious, sicko wacko to so characterize our philosophy, or our group.

It has little in common with traditional, mainstream conservative values.

Bull, -- libertarian principles have long been 'mainstream'. It is your version of 'conservative values' that is sick & twisted, as we can see in your rant above.

Aside from some libertarians agreeing with conservatives and many republicans, that fiscal restraint, lower taxes/tax reform and smaller government, is the way to go, nothing else about the libertarian agenda makes any sense for America.

Sure, - 'most people'. Great original argument.

Sorry, your idea that I 'must obey' your silly dictates, - only highlights your demented authoritarian vision of true 'conservatism'.

Get lost.
