Libertarian? What is it? Basically here is their doctrine taken from a Libertarian web site:
“A political philosophy maintaining that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty.”
Now, can you imagine 320-plus million Americans trying to follow this credo? Every last citizen doing his or her own thing? Doing whatever it is and hopefully without bothering the other self-determined individuals. Oh, really.
Oh sure, I want to build a nuclear waste dump here in our neighborhood to supplement my family’s income.
And, I want to set up a Skeet shooting range right next door to the Crystal Cathedral.
I’m going to build a huge hog farm directly on top of a major aquifer plus drill for natural gas using the easy fracking method.
Well then, I’m going to build a coal fired power plant and man it with all illegal workers and build it right next door to a preschool.
I’m going to start cooking and manufacturing Methamphetamine regardless of the hazards and sell it to all the high schoolers.
I’m going to build the world’s largest tire and rubber incinerator right here in Beverly Hills.
Are you following me on this? Do you see my point? Some definitions of Libertarian in clued the word anarchist. Anarchy and utter chaos would be the result. Especially without some central government. Otherwise we would all be at war with each other. Civil war. There must be, for the sake of civility, some central form of government.
The United States form of Democratic government is the best way to go. Sure there are problems with Democracy but it’s better than anarchy. Or, Libertarianism. God bless America.
