Thank you....very well said. Most of the FSP folks I've communicated with are very pragmatic. The FreeRepublic criticism of LIbertarians hinges solely on the drug issue. Never mind that the Libertarians are a leading pro second amendment force.

For many libertarians, like myself....the drug issue is one of wasted dollars. Drugs weren't always illegal in this country, and when they were available at the local pharmacist you certainly didn't see an addicted population, and you certainly didn't see the violence and money spent policing a no-win position.
So to all you paranoid Freepers, go ahead and keep harping on Libertarian idealism, obviously it's just your pessimistic left leaning authoritarian streak poking through.

One of the things we are seeing today is States misusing power they have GIVEN themselves, or tried to hold over from pre-Federal Constitution days.

The Free State Project's intent is, through a voting majority of tens of thousands of Jeffersonian Classical Liberals, traditional Ike or Goldwater Republicans, and Blue Dog Democrats and their native and local friends, neighbors and allies to STOP THE STATE FROM INFRINGING ON OUR B.O.R.!!!

How else can it be done?
We need practical, doable solutions and not pie in the sky idealistic dreams.
