Democracy? We don't need no stinking democracy!!!
If you are a libertarian as you claim, that is what you should be thinking as well... [/b][/quote]
My friend, you need to learn something about the Libertarian movement. It is not anti-democracy. It is the most pro-democracy of any party. The founding fathers of the United States were Libertarians and the party believes strongly in those same core values. Personal freedom, liberty and individual responsibility are at the center of the belief structure. A strong free-market economy (not capitalism, as there are huge differences) is the engine to make country work. And a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade is the final tenet which the party bases its beliefs on. Government is to be small, effective, representative and non-intrusive. I'm not sure how this is "anti-democracy"?
