We should not be in the ME.

But if you are there, and you get attacked (embassy), you attack back (Sauron the Dark Lord)

His reaction to the Iranian "retaliation" is exactly right.

Real libertarians oppose all aggression, which is the initiation of nonconsensual force. This includes theft/taxation and forced monopolies, which are common in government.


'Oppose = aggressive force'. IE, if Germany said in 1940 to England 'We have a million tourists who would like to come and live in your country. They are gun enthusiasts.'
If England did not give consent then England has to use aggressive attacks against Germany to stop the invasion.

I agree and disagree with that premise.

I'm sure the party likely opposes the welfare programs that attract these illegals a well.

And if you visit left-leaning websites and social media and ask what they think of libertarians, they will say, "Folks who identify as libertarian often end up passively hindering the progressive agenda and aiding the conservative agenda."


Which party do you think is more radical and lock step at this time in history, the republican party or the democrat party?

Thank goodness President Trump doesn't strictly adhere to any political mold or agenda. He is like no other President I can remember in my lifetime. And I honestly believe he is doing what he believes is in the best interest of our country.

The Libertarian Party is a joke.

All of this is correct.

Libertarians understand that you can't run a welfare state and have unfettered immigration. So, all the Libertarians I know support shutting down the welfare state (free education, assisted housing, food stamps, emergency healthcare requirement, etc, etc) while making it easier for people to come here and work/pay taxes. A free economy is the unhindered exchange of services, goods, and labor.

Was there something in my comment specifically that you think is wrong? If so, point it out.

In your hypothetical scenario, who is “England” to begin with? Is it an individual property owner? You have no right to dictate who he allows on his property.
