To: TroutStalker; Kevin Curry
Yet the Founders who created this nation were libertarians. They didn't use that word, of course, nor did they call themselves (classical) liberals or democrats. But they stood for basic libertarian principles: the equal right of all to pursue happiness, free from arbitrary interference, and government dedicated to securing that right. Respect for government's limits is hardly hostility to government in all its manifestations.

If that were only true! These listed principles are hardly arguable. Many conservatives embrace these as well.

As far as I'm concerned Libertarians took several steps back when they showed their anti-American colors in support of Arabs and terrorists. They have it in their warped minds that it's okay to bomb anything American because whatever reasons they have for doing so is justified because America deserves it. They don't see or call the so called 'retailiation' a violent act. Peace is so precious to them but as long as an act of violence is directed at Americans/America then their philosophy quickly changes. It's hypocrisy!

Kevin, talk about disingenious you are always bringing up the same old same old nonsense about drugs, etc with libertarians. The arguement is not that limited.

Harry Browne and the Libertarian Party certainly lost almost all my respect since 9/11. The libertarian philosophy of minimal government remains, however.

Where are you coming up with such ludicrous ideas?
