And what a RIDICULOUS thing to expect that every libertarian must be non-religious & believe in evolution, etc...SERIOUSLY??? This shows how narrow-minded you are.

The ONLY necessity as I see for someone to be "libertarian" is the belief in non-agression principle & right to life, liberty & property! So long as they believe in that the rest of their beliefs about religion, evolution or whatever shoud NOT matter. As I've said, I'm agnostic & I know many religious people who support non-agression

So I take it that you always ask your physician/surgeon/pharmacist/e­tc what they believe in terms of their religion and their appeal to your brand of evolution? If they do not pass your check then you of course refuse their services right? If not, you would simply be a hypocrite. Now don't get me wrong I know why you wouldn't ask as it is entirely irrelevant to their ability to do their job, but you brought it up. /watch?v=MjWArYwsUuY&feature

@YaHuWaHservant Doctor = / = philosophically influential leader. But I'm sure many atheists would prefer a doctor who is not a fundamentalist christian. It may not affect their ability to do the job but it does affect how comfortable an atheist feels about them as a person. And for some atheists who understand fundamentalist religiousity as pretty nuts, that does matter when it comes to such things as human freedom and who you are choosing to try to lead you there.

@tjtomkins did he say MUST be atheist to be libertarian? No, he said to himself personally, it is an important issue. You can be religious and libertarian. As I understand his point he's stating that Ron Paul being a fundamentalist christian is gonna put off a lot of people who are not. Of course it'll also draw in people who don't accept evolution too so who knows which would influence more people to think more about libertarianism.

Afrika Bambaataa was the leader of the Black Spades, the largest street gang in New York, in the 1970's, and he had a "spiritual and cultural revelation" of sorts through hip hop culture that lead him to take the Spades and turn them into the Universal Zulu Nation. though i am an anarchist myself and i feel that change has to occur from the bottom up, this, i feel, is a strong argument to suggest maybe what Ron Paul is doing will work, if at least in a limited sense.

If two liberatians agrees on everything, you can be sure, at least one of them has sold out. ;)

@chuyreal

Yeah dude, I mean, he can take someone who's at least close to his beliefs, not exactly but has huge support and still holds liberty in very high regard,

Or he be way too ideological, and he can just hope the government decides to shut itself down because he has a couple thousand followers. His choice.

I mean, I think Ron Paul is great, but even if you;re an anarchist, he's still worth supporting.

[chuyreal]

and i am willing to compromise if with any politician, that would be ron paul. he will not save us from evil big brother ofcourse. it is just a start. we need way more ppl like you, and y not another ron paul wouldnt hurt. so dnt be fucking jelaous and deny it even a 5 yr old would percieve it. on a last note dont you forget your awsome and if supporting ron paul wouldnt hurt you much, idk maybe you should consider it man. cheers frm deep south texas, practically mexico

@heatbucspies55 A state needs to initiate force to stay funded. If it doesn't initiate force, it's not a state. What you're describing is not a government, if you truly mean what you say (only uses the retaliation, never the initiation, of force). Quite simply, anarchists believe competition in the security market, just like any other market, is superior to one monopoly which can do anything they want.
