The Libertarian party is to the GOP, what the Green party is to Democrats.
Well put. It's why I consider myself a 'small l' and don't belong to the party although I agree with about 85% of them. I find their position on abortion to be particularly troubling and for me it's a deal breaker.

Actually the libertarian party is much worst to the GOP then the green party is to democrats. The green party would never vote with republicans but would simply just vote third party. There are many so-called libertarians who vote democrat and in every war since Viet Nam there have been libertarians marching side by side with Marxist against the United States. Libertarians also side with social Marxists on many issues as well.
Gee, no wonder I can’t really tell them apart from liberals on the freeway until I see the Ron Paul bumper sticker on the car, lol.
Social conservatives don’t stamp their feet. That’s a libertarian habit.
“I’ll find the poster whose tagline reads ‘as a matter of fact what you do in your bedroom is my business’. You can ask him yourself.”
Taking this as an imputation of FEDERAL responsibility for sexual mores, it seems, is a giant leap on your part.
“State capitalism is essentially what ‘Communist’ China has.”
Well, i’d say the formerly rigid agrarian communist regime retains certain classical communistic residues on its people within and without the economic realm. But, yes, I’d say overall that’s a decent description of that system.
Pardon me while I guffaw.
If I had a nickel for every time I've started a question with "exactly where in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution is the enumerated power for Congress to...." I'd have a sh** load of nickels.
and so would I.....The problem is that both liberals and social(ist) conservatives want the federal government to regulate our daily lives and existance...the only difference is what side of the middle you fall in...nobody has the right to tell me what to do, as long as I do not infringe on anther persons civil rights... it is a real simple concept, one that the framers of our country knew and understood, but now we have socialists on both the left and on the right....as I stated, the constitution, as written, applied literally, would piss off both liberals and conservatives....this is why I no longer call myself conservative...I am a strict constitutionalist...and I dare any social conservative or liberal to challenge me
Yet for some being a ‘strict Constitutionalist’ means having the right to denounce the Constitution as we have seen from the confederate democrats of the past. Most libertarians today as well would deny people the right to representation on issue after issue as well and claim that they are supporting liberty giving people no defense from pushers, pimps, and other means of corruption that would make them slaves in their own homes.
The conservative position though is not to have the federal government regulate everyone’s lives as you claim but to allow the people to have the right to representation on issues that threaten their liberty such as the issues created by pushers, pimps and other forms of moral deviants that threaten their communities.
Maybe you should try reading the entire article.
“If you want to know where you fall, ask yourself, have I ever said ‘There ought to be a law’?...If you have, then you do not believe in the constitution, and are a form of socialist”
What?!?! Suddenly everyone who believes is such things as laws is a socialist? Which means, I suppose, everyone save absolute anarchists are socialists.
“I ever said ‘There ought to be a law’?...If you have, then you do not believe in the constitution, and are a form of socialist”
Oh, by the way, I wouldn’t have supposed it needs to be mentioned that there are state and local governments, as well as enumerated powers of the federal government, all of which can birth laws in accordance with the Constitution. But you proved me wrong, and apparently some people do need reminding.
That poster would be Responsibility2nd. Personally, it’s not his business, and I’m not even going to tell him what I do in my bedroom.
You’re not......smart, are you.
Personally, it’s not his business, and I’m not even going to tell him what I do in my bedroom.

Thanks for your input Mrs. Kravitz. Now please, stick your face in my bedroom window so I have legal cause to ventilate your skull.
