I have been more specific. In RE:#47, I told you to read RE:#44. Either you forgot to read it, or you don't understand it. I'm not going to list everything, I find grossly abhorrent about the Libertarian Party platform, here tonight or anyother time for that matter. I've been through all this with the many libertarian defenders, here on FreeRepublic, for the last few years. You're a newbee. It would seem, you have some catch up homework to do on the issues. I already laid out some specifics. Don't blame me for your shortcomings. Do some research in the FR archives.
I have been more specific. In RE:#47, I told you to read RE:#44. Either you forgot to read it, or you don't understand it.I'm sorry, it was incredibly vague, but I'll do my best to address it.
Anti-government: This depends on what you percieve as the role of govt. I believe that govt exists to protect an individual's right to life, liberty and property and that "to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government" If being anti-legalized plunder makes me 'anti-government', so be it. Government in and of itself is not a social good, it is an instrument. I'm against it's misuse, not its existence.
Anti-military: I do not believe defending the Constitution of the United States (that is the oath our military members swear) requires posting troops in over a hundred countries and positioning American troops in the midst of whatever conflict catches the camera lens. Why is adherence to the Washingtonian/Jeffersonian foreign policy considered 'anti-military'? My father served 20 years in the USAF, my grandparents and uncles have served as well. I have no hostility for them, or the military in general. I understand the concept of peace through strength, what I don't understand is why our military is compelled by the govt. to occupy so many other countries when their duty is to defend ours. Particularly when this occupation, instead of preserving American peace, stokes aggression against us. Exhibit (A) WTC Ground Zero
Anti-religion: I'm not anti-religion. How is the Libertarian party anti-religion? The platform you cited states: "We defend the rights of individuals to engage in (or abstain from) any religious activities that do not violate the rights of others. In order to defend freedom, we advocate a strict separation of church and State. We oppose government actions that either aid or attack any religion."
Anti-community: I'm not even sure what you mean by this. The Libertarian party supports freedom of association. How are they 'anti-community'?
Anti-society: Same as above, unless what you mean is that the Libertarian party defends the rights of the individual, even in the face of societal pressure.
I'm not going to list everything, I find grossly abhorrent about the Libertarian Party platform, here tonight or anyother time for that matter. I've been through all this with the many libertarian defenders, here on FreeRepublic, for the last few years.I was just looking for some specifics. I didn't ask for an exhaustive list, just a policy they advance that you oppose and why.
You're a newbee. It would seem, you have some catch up homework to do on the issues. I already laid out some specifics. Don't blame me for your shortcomings. Do some research in the FR archives.Newbee? My shortcomings? Does this add anything to the discussion? Let's try and keep the discussion above this. This is a forum for expressing and defending ideas. There is no place for ad hominem.
