The Philosophy of Liberty

True, eight minutes is nothing.

No we don't.

I said it was a good presentation. Just because i may agree with some or all doesn't mean i have to reject the rest. Libby i am not.

Well the GOP doesn't support invdividual liberty. They're pro drug criminalization, pro income tax, and pro pre-emptive war. If you agree with the video, you reject these ideas.

America's first duty is to spread and maintain as much influence in the world as possible.

Fair enough, to each his own.

Agreed.

No, it isn't, that's your delusional version of Sharia law.

If you can compare Americanism with Sharia Law, something is seriously wrong with your reasoning.

Outstanding video. But then, I have long considered myself to be at least partly Libertarian, with a STRONG conservative bent. But, I am also a realist. For now, to vote libertarian is by and large to throw your vote away. Recent elections have been too close to make a "statement vote." Bush senior and Dole both lost elections in large part because of third party candidates who drew off significant numbers of votes, allowing Clinton to win the election twice by a pleurality rather than a majority. (As did GWB in the 2000 election.)

As a result, I am forced, until such time as the Libertarians offer a truly viable candidate, to vote for the party that most closely reflects my values. That's the Republicans.

They're 'pro-reality'. Libertarianism promotes a steady retreat into anarchy and mass suicide. It's an escapist pipe-dream. America's first duty is to spread and maintain as much influence in the world as possible. We won't be on top forever. This is our time to shine. Let's do so without any apologies or hesitation.
