That’s what I figured. It’s all about abortion.
If we didn’t have MFN and welfare for illegals, the only folks coming here would be those wanting to BE Americans.
Also, without our government continually hamstringing our industries with idiotic regulations and Union authored protectionism... We’d still be the manufacturing center of the World.
Also, factor in private property Rights. If the ranchers/property owners along the border used their Second Amendment to protect their lands from invaders... Do you really think that wouldn’t have an affect on illegal border crossing?
Libertarianism may be a “simplistic ideal” in some peoples viewpoints... But then again, so is the Constitution and it works just fine if you actually FOLLOW it.
No, it's not ALL about abortion, but much of it stems from that line of thinking. The legalization of dope is just another one. I have personally witnessed the damage smoking weed can do and they act as if it's harmless. Look at their ridiculous foreign affairs stance. To act as if we can be the big boy on the block and not be attacked is foolish. Someone is always looking to take us down a notch, and the libertarians would let them. How about gay marriage? What could that possibly hurt. Ask a child how their childhood was when they turn 21 after being raised by 2 perverts. Have you ever seen 2 men want to raise a girl child or 2 dykes want a boy baby? I haven't seen one, NOT ONE!
Yes abortion is big with me, but I'm not a single issue voter. Abortion is just a sign they are totally bankrupt of common sense. Some things can't be argued about, they are either right or wrong. Setting a tax rate might be something we could compromise on, but not killing children.
A woman makes her choice when she pulls her panties down. After that, their is another person involved. Libertarians are the ones that say "Anything goes as long as it doesn't affect someone else. Abortion kills someone else. It's no longer a woman's privacy when another person suffers.
