I want nothing to do with your hideous Libertarians. Anti-Semitism, pro child molestation, drug/dope usage, sympathy for Islamic terrorism (when that Libertarian party member was shot and seriously wounded by John Allen Mohammed, Reason magazine and other Libertarian organs scarcely reported on it), support for homosexual rights; etc., are just too much for me to bear. That's one hell of a straw man argument. Let's see "Anti-Semitism" -- I believe Jews are God's chosen people. I simply oppose all foreign aid (to any nation including Israel's enemies) for the same reason I oppose welfare. Pro-child molestation -- A core responsibility of government is to protect citizens against an infringement on their liberties by other citizens. Thus, a legitimate government intervention is punishing crime such as this. No reasonable libertarian would argue otherwise. Drug/dope usage -- I am opposed to drgus. I just don't think I can force my will on others. Let them consume what they want. Besides, the war on drugs is unconstitutional. Where in the Constitution does Congress have the authority to regulate drugs? If it is regulated it should be done on the state level. Sypathy for Islamic Terrorism -- Nope. Not in the least. Initiating violence against others goes against the very heart of libertarian thought. Support for homosexual rights -- I guess it depends on what that means. Libertarians believe that everyone is free to live their lives as they see fit so long as it doesn't infringe on another's rights. So if you mean they should have the same rights that everyone else has, yes. Should they have special rights? No. Hate crime legislation for example is a crime against thought, so that's wrong. Forcing employers to hire someone against their will is wrong. I'm not sure what "homosexual rights" you are talking about. We believe in individual rights.

Libertarians are dope smoking hippies with a few right wing bounces. I'm sure that many supporters of Lenin did not believe in Cheka terror, war Communism, and the brutal supression at Kronstadt, they simply wanted the "land, bread, and peace" that Lenin preached.

Likewise, I'm sure that many Nazis were not so keen (at first) on putting Jews in gas chambers, they just wanted the humiliation of the Versaille treaty to be gone; however, it is the ideas of the leaders Lenin, Hitler; etc., that determine a party's movement, not some of its more naive followers.
