Judging by what I've seen, they would just call them stupid because they don't think like the purists. That is why I keep making the point that elitists and dogmatists in ANY political body are bad. That attitude leads to oppression and terror. I DO believe that most Americans beleive in the fundamental principals of Libertarianism. I've also found through talking to many people, that this same group desires a certain amount of Socialism and Statism. Because I don't agree with them on that point, does not mean I am not going to encourage them to move as far toward my politics as I can get. Universal Libertarianism is a Utopian concept. It would be nice, but, like a calculus equation, it is only a limit which can never be reached due to the basic nature of humanity, which is agression. Since we are imperfect, so is our politics. We should approach the gates of Utopia as close as possible, but I don't expect to ever get there. ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
