Get real, they would not, the man is a KOOK, and to say that libertarians are KOOKS, is going just a little too far.

Using the methods of liberals is not what I would call intellectually honest.

You are the first Libertarian when presented with this article to say Mr. Baker is a kook. Good for you. When I first posted this article as thread on FR, I got a deafening silence from the rabid Libertarians on FR.

I am surmising that many Libertarians on FR are supportive of Mr. Baker's tactics, just look at Eagle Eye's response #10 of this thread.

Tar, feathers, torches and pitchforks would work better, imo.

Say Dane, would you care to address anything in the article?

Do you support such measures, oppose them, or don't care?

Do tell.

Actually, I am NOT a libertarian, I am not a pacifist. I am a constitutionalist to the core.

But, now that I think about it, yes, some libertarians would indeed be ready to pin a medal on this guy.

I believe in the adage "Do what you want as long as it does not infringe on my rights" My rights as a property owner are infringed by this mans junkyard in his yard. It brings the value of MY property down. If he wants to move out to the country, get the proper permits and open a junkyard, hey hurray for his side, but to bring down my property value in order to do what he wants, and it is a matter of private property rights is a crock. If it effects me directly, he has NO right to do it.

This is what the constitution is for, to protect our rights from violation by others, he is violating his neighbors property rights, and if they complain, then he has an obligation as a neighbor and citizen to fix it, or be arrested.

LOL! You are such a piece of work! Have you noticed that you've become a charactature of yourself.

In your zeal to bash libertarians come hell or high water, you've once again resorted to smears, innuendo, and comments out of context. In your desperation to provoke comment and gain attention, you have to change the current thread to your old thread that failed to get the resonses you had hoped. You are not yet a master at baiting, but you are trying very very hard.

If you had these same tactices applied to you as often as you applied them to others, you'd wear out the abuse button.
