My hope when I chose my freeper name was to remake the GOP in a more libertarian direction without adopting the non-agression and other bad ideas from the Libertarian party.

Question to ALL: --- Why do you think a policy of non-agression for government is a 'bad idea'? Every freedom loving person, every libertarian, from George Washington on down, all believe in non-aggression by governments.

Why do you think a policy of non-agression for government is a 'bad idea'? I chose the wrong words, meant to say non-initiation of the use of force. The primary legitimate government function is as a cooperative means of self-defense. There are times when you can not wait for the other side to attack you first; you need to launch a pre-emptive first strike in order to eliminate a threat. Our Governments first priority is to protect the lives of American citizens and that takes precedence of the rights of the citizens of any other nation.
