A libertarian is a libertarian. The REAL difference between "left" libertarians and "right" libertarians (or "liberal" libertarians and "conservative" libertarians is the language we are comfortable with. Personally, I am more comfortable with the touchy-feely language of liberals. But then, I am an Orthodox Christian that believes that faith without action is empty and action without faith is futile. It does not matter. A libertarian is still a libertarian. We simply use different language to say the same thing. Advocates for Self Government calls it the "Ransberger Pivot", for those that want to know. There was a joke back in the late seventies-early eighties "How many Libertarians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Just one, but a couple dozen to argue whether to turn it to the left or the right". Cindy Sheehan MAY be a libertarian. I don't know. Haven't a clue. I haven't heard anything from her except her definitely libertarian view of the current war(s). But she might be able to screw in a light bulb. What Eric refuses to do is explain why we should support the "Blame America First" republicans and support his stupid war. There might be a libertarian justification for his war. I don't see it. Afterall, I HAVE seen libertarian justification for slave restitution, and foreign aid, and libertarian opposition to copyrights and patents. I am definitely not the person to say Eric isn't libertarian. I like Eric, have known him for twenty years or so. But, I want to see his logic. BTW, referring to somebody as fascist or nazi or big government democrat does NOT add anything to your argument. PEACE Steven R.
