2) Open borders (no visas, no passports, come one, come all)

I personally disagree with this and think many other libs do to.

3) No abortion laws

This is the most hotly debated topic among libertarians. Abortion is the symptom, not the problem. You need a constitutional amendment to define who a person is. Personally, I am pro-life and as libertarian as they come.

4) No war on terrorism

I don't believe in fighting other country's wars for them but if someone wants to go to war with the US, I would prefer the fighting take place on a foreign land.

5) Same sex / any sex unions

I don't care who sleeps with who. I see marriage as more of a civil issue, but I think in keeping with legal tradition, we should stick to the marriage, as legally defined, being kept to 1 man and 1 woman. I support legal constructs in civil courts to accommodate other arrangements.

6) The right of a child to declare adulthood

This more or less already happens and I support that states have a process for emancipating minors. When kids get to the age where you can't physically control them, then I would just as soon be able to make them responsible for themselves. In short, libertarians seem to be supporting the status quo here.

So cinFLA, am I to assume you are someone who subscribes to the faux political philosophy termed conservative? Are you a member of the hypocritical RP? You know, the one that says we believe in states rights but threatens to withhold funds if they don't tow the federal line? The one that says it's for smaller govt yet grows it bigger than even the dems? Libertarians have honest disagreements among themselves but we always measure our policy statements in how much liberty they provide for the individual. At least we say what we mean and mean what we say. As for republicans, they'll sit back and light up a cigarette, crack open a can of Old Milwaukee and claim that drug users ought to be locked up for life. How does it feel to be such a pious hypocrite? Personally, I would not be able to look myself in the mirror.

I am a registered repubican. Are you a member of the LP?

I know of NO repubicans that fit this description. You are a sicko.

The right for a man to construct a union with his daughter?
