I have to say, this is a pristine example of someone who thinks that they know more than they do, but demonstrates that the opposite is true, and it ain't the "hippie movement" portion of the statement that I'm talking about.
Ben, I suggest you study up a bit, lest you continue to write foolish things online.
this is a pristine example of being hoodwinked by people like Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin who claim they abide by libertarian principals.
It is actually you swagger that needs to study up a bit, you are under the dark influence of the neocons who are now pretending to be libertarian?
The libertarian platform of today does not differ much from the OPs link, which is why I feel that Libertarianism is just the opposite of Communism and that both sound good on paper but don't pan out well in reality.
It is amazing to me now-a-days how many people claim to be a libertarian when they really don't know what the platform is of the libertarian party. It was posted in the thread already so won't re-post it but if you all read it, it is basically the same thing as the OP and so it hasn't changed much. Those of you who want a more limited government that is good, those of you who want school reform, good for you, but unless you want no laws at all, you are not a Libertarian. If you want public schools at all and any sort of public institution, you are not a Libertarian. Just because you agree with having less militarization doesn't mean you are a libertarian.

It's been noted over and over and over that no laws at all defines anarchy, not libertarian ideas.

- No but couple that with agreeing to lessen the right wing social agenda then you are on your way to libertarianism.
