"In a news release, the state Democratic Party also said the Free State Project wants to eliminate fire departments, environmental protections and stop the state from accepting federal health care for seniors."

And additionally, they claimed that the Free State Project would increase the collision of asteroids into the earth, increase global warming, foster wars in Third World countries, encourage more terrorist attacks against the United States, eat small children for breakfast, and worst of all, reduce the attempts for a bunch of pantywaisted control freak miscreants to ruin another state, only to have the remainder tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.

Seriously, it would be nice to see the side of the spectrum opposite of the California fiasco. See if another laboratory of democracy shows a different way. I wonder why the idea of liberty scares the Democrats so much?

I have heard the libertarian party wanting to eliminate a lot of functions the government performs, and I have yet to find one to disagree with. But I have never heard the party take the position that they want to eliminate fire departments, presumably for private, for hire, or subscription based fire fighting forces.

Has the LP really taken such a position?

It seems to scare a lot of Pubbies as well, especially in California... look at the RINOld vs McClintock threads...

foster wars in Third World countries, encourage more terrorist attacks against the United States

Actually, those two are true . . .
