If you insist, but enabling the govt to kill off nascent human life is not technically libertarian, that’s Leftism/statism.

[what's up]

Libertarians tend to take the leftist stance on abortion. Also gay marriage.

‘’When one is up to his a**hole in Alligators, it is oft’ times difficult to remember that the original intent was to drain the swamp.”

So here we are in America, ‘soft on Communism’ as we were warned about 60 years ago, and wondering why, who, how,what, when, and where did we get on this wrong track Communist swamp buggy?

Thus, it is well that we review where are by pondering the, [slightly modified], words of historical wisdom from the flagpage of a VERY wise FReeper as follows:

“The Ten Planks of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto,
(and How Statists Implement Them):

1.) Abolition of private property rights, (via high property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, “fair housing” edicts, environmental and “wetlands” regulations, UN Agenda 21, etc.).

2.) Institution of a heavily graduated income tax, (by calling it “taxing the rich”).

3.) Abolition of all rights of inheritance, (through a confiscatory estate tax on “the rich”).

4.) Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state, (through lawless application of asset forfeiture and eminent domain).

5.) Centralization of credit into the hands of the state, (Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, TARP, FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, federal takeover of student loans, etc.).

6.) Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state, (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).

7.) Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control, (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA, Medi’care’. Medic’aid’, Obama’care’, etc.).

8.) Mandatory labor union membership, (”card check” to bypass employee consent, automatic withholding of union dues, forced unionization of health care workers, teachers, police, firefighters, etc.).

9.) Equitable redistribution of all wealth, (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, etc.).

10.) State controlled, but “Free” public education, (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.).

“For example, one of them would not vote to deprive Planned Parenthood of funding.”

Do you have a link for that? Which one was it that supported Planned Parenthood funding?

thanks in advance

Justin Amash votes 'present' on amendment to halt funding to Planned Parenthood
February 21, 2011

-----

Justin Amash's statement:

As a pro-life conservative, I have cosponsored and supported several important bills to protect the life of the unborn, including Rep. Mike Pence's H R 217 to defund abortion providers. Today, I voted "present" on Amendment 11 to H R 1 because, while I oppose abortion funding, the language, as drafted, violates my conservative approach to legislating.

Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional. Moreover, the legislation is easily thwarted because the organization may simply change its name.

As a conservative, and as the Representative for the people of Michigan’s Third District, I cannot vote "yes" on legislation that does not take the process of legislating seriously. A responsible amendment—one that I would fully support—would defund all abortion providers. That is why I support Mike Pence’s H R 217, which cuts off all federal funds to any organization that performs an abortion—including Planned Parenthood.

[VitacoreVision]

Justin Amash:

UPDATE: Note that Amendment 11 did not eliminate any line-item appropriation to Planned Parenthood; otherwise, I would have voted "yes." There is no mention of Planned Parenthood in the continuing resolution being amended (H R 1), any budget, or any law enacted under the previous two Congresses.

It's being discovered that these members appear to be Paul-ites.

So what...? Paul's right on individual liberty, fiscal policy, and debt. You have a problem with that?

[what's up]

Paul was against Reagan in the 80's. He's a crank, not a politician who really wants to get something done.

He also voted against the Iraq War, and against the Ryan budget.

That's what I have a problem with.

Boner kicks a tea party conservative from the center of the wheat production area of the country off the Agriculture committee? (My Cong. Dist.)

2014 election target: Purge GOP pussies from House and Senate. Only 100% Tea Party!

[tdscpa]

Do you have some reasonable support for your totally erroneous post?

Huelskamp is not a paulite or libertarian.

You are full of crap.
