But as for the libertarian view, I definitely don't consider myself a libertarian, though maybe I come close on alot of issues. Perhaps the biggest problem for me is that the libertarian perspective tends to anchor itself on absolutes that I simply cannot accept at all times. Libertarians will celebrate a house burning down and a family becoming homeless while a for-profit fire fighting company sits around and watches, because the family losing their home wasn't a paid member of their club.
Sad the crazy things liberal bloggers have convinced you to be the truth.
This is right up there with "Let 'em die!".
Inthemiddle, out of curiosity, where did you get the idea that libertarians celebrate misfortune?
You need to open your mind, and stop type-casting people when they disagree with you once or twice.
i dont mind if u do i read some of ur posts and just didnt get the libertarian view, shoot me for not seeing it, i didnt insult u or even say anything negative directed at u personally.
Actually, my mistake, misquote. I have KWC on ignore, so quoted your post to construct a quote by which to respond to him.

This was fun. I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not. I'd like to think that this could quell all the BS about me being a raging lefty, but most people here are too deranged in their political mindset. So, who wants to post their results?

This is one of those bogus polls you see once in a while which attempts to make you believe that most Americans are Libertarians.
It is revealing in what it does not ask.
More than 90 percent of Americans' alignment with Ron Paul would drop dramatically if it asked their opinions on the Libertarians more controversial beliefs.
For instance, "Do you believe we should eliminate the FDA?"
"Do you believe we should shrink our military down to the strength of a cub scout troop?"
"Do you believe crack cocaine should be legalized?"
"Do you believe we should eliminate the Federal Reserve?"
"Do you believe we should eliminate all gun control laws?"
"Do you believe we should end all federal environmental regulations?"
"Do you believe we should end all federal workplace safety regulations?"
"Do you believe we should eliminate all federal laws forbidding child labor in factories?"
And so forth.
A classic push poll.
There is no Libertarian revolution except in their own heads.

There are times we agree, and then there are times like these.
You know full well that your 'questions' are total bullshit.
If they aren't, please post the links that support what you assert.

We oppose all laws at any level of government requiring registration of, or restricting, the ownership, manufacture, or transfer or sale of firearms or ammunition.
We support repeal of laws that impede the ability of any person to find employment, such as minimum wage laws, so-called protective labor legislation for women and children, & governmental restrictions on the establishment of private day-care centers. We deplore government-fostered forced retirement, which robs the elderly of the right to work. We oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and aid to the poor programs.
We should replace harmful government agencies like the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) with more agile, free-market alternatives.
And since when does eliminating federal control over something mean getting rid of ALL controls? Most of the programs/laws you suggested libertarians want to do away with are only suggested to be controlled by either the private sector or state/local governments.
