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.

Well with that above italicized statement you have become an "enemy" to most of the Libertarian Party supporters on FR.

Next thing you know you will be spouting such propaganda that a person doesn't have the right to open a crack or prostituion house on his/her property.

You heretic to the founding fathers.

The above is meant as following the speech called tongue in cheek

How about when your neighbors house is worth 50% more than your house but your house is bringing the value of his house. Get rid of your house and move out to the country or buy the most expensive house on another block. OR, are you exempt?
