[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 320506, member: 2189"] As for libertarian types supporting the war. Oh yeah, absolutely. There are also Pro-Life libertarians, Ron Paul for example and myself, there are libertarians who are what one might call a Constitutionalist who desire a return to the organic Constitution, there are anarcho-capitalist or anarcho-libertarians who desire a more wide open society with virtually no gov't at all (I sympathize with that ideal although I think it most unrealistic) and then there are those who would be more the anti-federalist types of which I am one who would like to abolish the Constitution and return to the Articles of Confederation in which States and local gov't are supreme and thus control of society is in the hands of the local citizen and they are free to have a wide open society or a communist enclave if they so desire. It's purely their choice of how to run their local community. Personally, I think we need a few "liberal", "commie" type communties to attract the freeloaders so the rest of us don't have to deal with them. You see, there really is a need for "liberals" on a local basis afterall! LOL! Libertarians are a diverse crew, they come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Some even support George Bush and publically say so. Neal Boortz on talk radio for example loves Bush on the war and openly supports him. I even believe Neal voted for GW in 04' after many, many years voting libertarian. Brian Wilson, another talk show host of a libertarian nature on the flipside supports Ron Paul. Neal does not because of Paul's foreign policy beliefs. The LP may or may not nominate a candidate opposed to the Middle East miltary actions but you can bet there will be folks present who in fact do support such action and will make their voice heard. Also check out the Cato Institutes website for more on libertarian support of middle east policy. On the flip, antiwar.com is a libertarian website opposed to the current policy so again it goes both ways. With the democrats, if you openly support the war and defy party leadership, you can look at Lieberman for that example. Ron Paul for the republican side. There is no real openness in either party IMO for alternative ideas which IMO again is a dangerous thing. [/QUOTE]
