"Libertarian" is more than a Party. It's an outlook. And it is, among those listed, by far the outlook that is most consistent with the whole point of the establishment of this nation. The fact that Libertarians represent so small a proportion of the American population of today is a testament to the extent to which today's population has forgotten the nation's roots.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

This could be said of all of the listed parties.. :nod: but I tend to agree with your assessment that Libertarian probably tracks closest to what this nation was founded on

I don't think you'll find too many people who identify themselves as "pro war".

I don't think you'll find too many that would openly admit it..
but we're a Pro-War country - it's what we do

ask
Central and South America
or
The Middle East
or
Northern Africa
or
South East Asia

There are a HUGE percentage of Americans who identify there American-ness with how much ass we kick and who we're presently at war with..

just my 2 cents

Libertarian, I have my views on things but if they're not included in the Constitution, I think it should automatically goes to states' rights . The Federal Government is there to insure that the rights it guarantees are in affect and preserved IMO. On my own personal philosophy I think we could be more effective as a country with less government

Well then you could also say:
-most Central and South American countries are "Pro War"
-most of the Middle East is "Pro War"
-most of the Northern Africa is "Pro War"
-most of Southeast Asia is "Pro War"
-most of Europe until throughout history up until the middle of the 20th century was "Pro War"

You could say most of the world is or has been "Pro War".

I am Pro-War

If your going to wear there isnt another sane choice. Fact is sometimes war is a necessary thing nad if your going to do it, be nasty, dirty and mean. Dont play by the rules and win at any and all cost or dont bother playing.
