Libertarianism is a philosophy, and it has an immutable and undeniable core belief; the NAP. The Libertarian philosophy is much like the Christian belief system in this.
One can not be consistent to libertarianism without supporting the NAP anymore than they can be a Christian who does not believe Jesus of Nazareth ever existed. There is no legitimate definition of Christian that does not include the belief in Jesus of Nazareth and there is no legitimate definition of libertarian that does not include the belief in the Non-Aggression Principle. By definition, those who are Christian share the belief in Jesus of Nazareth, just as those who are consistent to Libertarianism share belief in the NAP. There doesn't need to be lightning bolts. No amount of denying this indisputable fact will change things, even if it bothers you. It doesn't matter how many times you deny the truth, your denial doesn't change this FACT. --- In [email protected], "Eric Rathbone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Those who issue calls to bar "nonconforming" members from office or even > to expell them from the party fail to understand that no one has the > power to define Libertarianism to the exclusion of other definitions. > > Any political party is defined by its members at any one given time and > place and that definition can be altered anytime the membership chooses > to do so. > > There is no "core belief" that is immutable, not subject to > interpretation, or which must taken as received truth from on high lest > one be struck by thunderbolts. > > You can stamp your little feet and hold your breath until you turn > purple but no display of pique, no amount of huffing and puffing about > how you say that "Libertarians must believe that..." can change that > reality. > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
