Why do you think libertarians worship corporations?

Trump was right in attacking the guy that planed and oversaw the attacks on US property.

However there should not have been any US property or soldiers there to attack to begin with. Having assets and people there will always create problems for us.

He may very well have an opening here to get us out. Perhaps he can cut a deal quickly with Iran to withdraw if they give up the bomb.

Frankly I think he should withdraw from the entire ME whether the Iranians give up the 80 years old bomb technology or not. It is naive to think we can keep something like that away from them

GET US OUT OF THE ME!!

You're not reading my posts. LP is a lost cause. Has been since Browne died. Want to try again?


Why would I want to be a part of political party that openly condones breaking our rules ?

Is a person who says they are a libertarian but doesn't agree with a party platform that costs taxpayers billions per year , really a libertarian or a paleoconservative ?

yeah for the record I'm not a L-libertarian and most "libertarian" groups would call me a neo con/fascist

but the biggest "libertarian" issue with this Iran mess is Iraq vol. 3. anyone who pretends like that wasn't a possibility are either warmongers or lying to themselves. any conflict in that petro heaven/shithole is a recipe for another Iraq/Libya

I defined it for you months ago, explaining NAP as the core of libertarianism.


I don't read 90% of the posts on this board and I don't recall any conversation with you. Why don't you define it again?

i honestly am not familiar with this line of right-leaning argument, other than issues with tech companies

if not corporations, then...what? governmental regulations?

how is saying "we need to make a more rational and less complex layer of government" saying "i like these people" (whoever "they" are)?


Seal the border first.

You numbnuts don't even want to do that.

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.


England is a nation state that protects freedom of its inhabitants. Libertarians have no problem with the protection of liberty. Violence to protect is just fine.

Our rights do not originate from politicians. Government laws are nothing more than the opinions of politicians that are enforced with violence from badged mercenaries. Many of government laws throughout history SHOULD be ignored/broken. Need some examples?

if your policy is to "seal the border" then even you agree that our immigration policy/laws need change.

You shouldn't.

This is what you've been missing. Big 'L' is a mess. Little 'l' is a philosophy that goes back a long way and an idea that will always exist. It's why people in Hong Kong are rioting.

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.


So, stated more clearly, Libertarians support the democrat agenda of open borders, making it easier for criminal aliens to come here and stay here, while paying lip service to the conservative agenda of having a physical barrier between the citizens and the foreign invaders.

And I'd love to see what credible Republican establishment cretins you've voted for your whole life.

Browne was pro open borders, pro immigration


In 2001 Browne was concerned with intervention of govt policy over private business interests. What Browne did not live to see was that immigrants started coming to get on the govt dole. Not to work but to get food stamps, welfare, etc. He would have opposed open borders today.
