Had alleged Libertarians of Ron Paul's (yellow) stripe been in charge during the American Revolution, they'd still be arguing over "first use of force" when overrun by British troops.

Had alleged Libertarians of Ron Paul's (yellow) stripe been in charge during the Civil War, we'd be a divided nation which ultimately got carved up and occupied by monarchial empires centered in Europe.

Had alleged Libertarians of Ron Paul's (yellow) stripe been in charge during the First World War, a German Empire would span Europe, and be looking to expand into the Americas by now.

Had alleged Libertarians of Ron Paul's (yellow) stripe been in charge during the Second World War, we'd have capitulated to a nuclear armed Germany by 1944 or 1945.

Yep, Libertarians and their allies on the far loony right have one goal - the utter destruction of our society and the freedom we do enjoy at the bootheels of foreign conquerors. Guess that would give them a lot more to whine about.

*************************

There is nothing in libertarian philosophy that decrys "first use of force" in time of war or emergency.

Self-defense encompasses a wide range of tactics.

OOOh, you knock me out with your catcalls. Now prove your allegations.

What?? You offer no basis for your "thesis", now you run on home to the RHP, where you belong.

And what makes it more sick is that they do so while claiming to be defending freedom and liberty.
