    Sure. If it's a "Libertarian Ban" or "Libertarian Curfew". It has the word "Libertarian" right in it.

    In 2017, it is. We live in the most liberty hostile period in American History. The federal government is hellbent on replacing the current citizenry with malleable replacements.

    The current citizenry isn't malleable? Half of them are terrified by Climate Change, the other half by Muslims. It's a win-win for Washington.

    Not malleable enough for their liking. The oligarchs want to ramrod their agenda and the current populace has resisted to a degree. If they bring in the Muslims and Hispanics in large numbers, they could rapidly implement the entire agenda, from gun banning to automatic cars. The whole enchilada could proceed within a very short time period. The desperate dirt people from the nether regions of the world can be bought extremely cheap, in comparison to the spoiled Western counterparts, who have been brought up on the lies of Madison Avenue and who also can remember recent history when the quality of life was superior.

    The state relies on the population being at odds with each other. It's pretty basic political science. A united people would be a threat to the power structure.

    What are you talking about, I responded point by point a few posts above yours, no three dots in any post.

    Ultimately I see your position as a direct assault on individual liberty in the US since you have no recognition that mass immigration of peoples with opposing ideology will make individual liberty or any form of living in a libertarian like society impossible in our life time.

    Jewish groups pan Trump for signing refugee ban on Holocaust Remembrance Day
    By Laura Koran, CNN
    January 28, 2017


    • The action temporarily blocks entry to citizens from 7 majority-Muslim nations
    • One of its most vocal critics is former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright


    Washington (CNN)Many organizations that advocate for refugees slammed President Donald Trump's executive action Friday imposing "extreme vetting" on those fleeing to America, among them Jewish groups that took particular exception to the day on which he signed it: Holocaust Remembrance Day.




    Muslims-Jews seem to have allied for common interest perhaps, you really think Trump can move against such powerful interests?

    I never thought so but I guess banning the Liberty of others to grant mine is something I can learn to live with . If my state banned Illinois from entry or charged a toll and required they return to the craphole they came from I could live with it .

    If you are against a ban I guess you can say you stayed true to some textbook definition of left libertarianism. All the while by doing so moving further away from the ability to experience it in real life. If you support the ban a great many people move closer to experiencing liberty, Paleolibertarianism. I take the later.

    Real freedoms should apply to everybody. If you agree somebody should have their freedoms restricted you agree that you can/should have some of your freedoms taken too.

    This is a preachy rationalization formed in the sound of a fart.

    It smells bad too, considering the source.

    Nobody's freedoms are being restricted, they don't have a right to come here any more than I have right to enter their territory, it is a privilege that can be extended or retracted.

    That must explain why 0.0001% of Muslims commit terrorist acts.

    Christianity has just commemorated 500 years since its Reformation. Islam has yet to undergo a reformation; it’s still radical.
    The Protestant Reformation unleashed huge numbers of violent lunatics, including the ancestors of all modern communists.

    So then the vehicle in which we allow freedoms (rights for everyone, no matter), is the same vehicle that destroys freedom.

    C'est la vie... It is as it should be. Stop fighting against the state, it is inevitable.
    I have seen through it all... the system is against us. ALL OF IT.

    Terrorism is not the primary risk factor, their statist/tribal culture is.

    No, how we run things at home and who we let in are two different things, just like how much I trust my family and how I deal with them are different from how I deal with outsiders or how I might choose who to marry or adopt.

    According to whom?

    ..Why do you think Donald Trump is the current President?

    Is it because voters made a rational appraisal of immigration policy, and favor a statist one, but are otherwise liberals?

    What the public currently believes is not the point, and they are more classically liberal than the immigrants that are being brought in anyway.

    It is possible and proper to have a liberty oriented culture and control immigration to keep from losing it, that is what we need to convert the voting public to believe in.
