The fact that you offer him as a viable example as to why Libertarianism does not work goes to my point addressed towards you months ago when we talked about immigration - you don't really understand the platform.
ok, since you seem to be the sole expert and spokesman for the libertarian party on this website, why don't you state exactly what I need to believe and adhere to call myself a libertarian. I'm pretty sure I will fail the test and you will just be one member weaker due to your narrow definition.
I'm not recruiting for the Libertarian party. If you don't believe in the principles then that's that. Just stop calling yourself something you're not. People think that they can call themselves Libertarian when they don't believe in either Democrats and Republicans. Choosing to be Independent doesn't make you a Libertarian.
Most people find some agreement with some Libertarian policies, but find themselves adamantly opposed to others. That's ok. The goal of the Libertarian movement isn't to turn everyone into a Libertarian. It's just to get public policy to move that direction, a little at a time. Libertarians are in it for the long haul.

yeah well, I'm a hell of a lot more libertarian than you are
Really? Please explain how you came to this moment of "clarity"
. I'll await with patient eagerness. I promise not to hold my breath.Because you can't even explain what a libertarian is. All you can do is claim anyone who believes food stamps are good is not a libertarian. I've already told you that a libertarian believes the rights of the individual trumps the rights of the government. Not very earth shaking since it was written in the Declaration of Independence.Really? Please explain how you came to this moment of "clarity"
All you do is dance around and disqualify anyone who says anything you disagree with.
And furthermore, I don't want to ever again have anything to do with your so called "libertarian" party and will never again describe my self as a "libertarian" because it is obvious you are just as mentally depraved as those who call themselves "republicans" or "democrats" or "independents".
You are all crack pots
So yes, you are correct. I am not a libertarian, and never ever want to be one.
Avoiding the question again and . . .
Really? Please explain how you came to this moment of "clarity"
Tossing it back into the other's court.
Can we detect a pattern of behavior here?
Seriously? Coming from YOU? LOL
You can't just explain a Libertarian away in one sentence. But you can speak to the issues. I've given you the website that represents the Libertarian platform. You are correct, however, on the individual rights trumps the rights of the government. This is because the government exists to serve the will of the people, not the other way around.
If you're going to claim you're a Libertarian, and you're not, then yes - I'm going to call it out. Sorry if that upsets you.
You're very angry at being outed. This isn't personal. If you went around saying you were a Dallas Cowboy's fan, and talked nothing about the NY Giants, I'm sure a Cowboy's fan would probably point that out as well.
Most reading can tell who the crack pot is, I'm sure.
Ah, see? Now that wasn't so hard, was it? Glad we finally came to the truth. Have a great day.
