You guys like to only pay attention to half the libertarian agenda. I'm not a libertarian, but I have stronger libertarian values than those of you who try to clump libertarians together with federalists.
Which ones specifically?

The only place I see Federalists and Libertarians clumping together is a strong federal government that protects property rights, provides a stable currency, and insures contracts are respected. As long as the strong federal government stays out of the economy except where it makes sure the rules (and that would be the rules that keep the markets free and competitive) are obeyed, then libertarians and federalists align on this one issue.

Sec. 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act? Sec. 7 of the Clayton Act? Not sure any of those would be too popular with liberatarians.

Spanky is the one who thinks teachers should not be free to unionize.
Teachers are free to unionize but we should be free not to hire them. If you join a union, you lose your job. That conforms to libertarian ideals. Does it not?

I have watched that idea (do antirust laws make the market more free or less free) debated so many times I think I would run screaming from the room if I found myself in an audience of such a debate.

You realize that you have now only increased my interest in sparking such a debate.

Lucky for you, and increase from nearly zero to slightly more than nearly zero doesn't lead to a whole lot of action.

Why not? Libertarians don't permit unrestrained violence against others.

Do you believe anyone can own any firearm they want?

Do you believe that public education, if not abolished should be at least switched to a voucher system?

Do you think all drugs and prostitution should be legalized?

Do you think all zoning laws and similar laws should be aboloshed?
Yes.

No.

Yes.

Can't answer question as written. I think we should have vouchers but don't agree with abolishing it.

Yes.

Yes.

Fantastic - I'm guessing.

But Big?

Man, I have been out of NYC too long. Sheesh.

You definitely need to suckle babies. So they can drink in the hate, and incorporate it into their very cells.

ETA and I find it amusing that now that I actually have pictures of my breasts, there is no TMBD. Oh well.
