Let's kill them in Iraq and Afghanistan, and let Isreal kill them in the West Bank.

I could be a Libertarian if they dropped the open borders nonsense and bellied up to the foreign intervention bar.  Until then, it's small 'l' and voting Bush.  My phrase of the moment is, "It's better to fight them in the Middle East than the Middle West."

I'm pretty much right there with you. I understand, from a philosophical standpoint how open borders (i.e., freedom to travel) would be a an issue of percieved greater liberty, but it just doesn't work because controlling borders is important from a sovereignty POV. I'm not willing to die for that little bit of ideological purity.

I'm still 90% libertarian in my outlook, (I was born that way), but as long as the LP can't support this war of survival, the party can't have my support.
