Quote:Thank you for the clarification about the Duke thing. I'm just repeating back what I've read on the internet from reports... I don't follow Duke on any social media. I've read on CNN.com, NYTimes.com, and also on TV about Dukes words. I'm assuming that these news outlets are telling me the truth about what Duke is saying.


As for your analysis of my political views and how they line up with "leftist" politics and not Libertarian policies and principles... Well, I guess you have some merit in these arguments.


But I wonder... If we agree on so many positions, why not open up the libertarian tent to allow more people in? You guys are gonna stay on the fringes if you try to pick and choose the way you are. I think there are alot of places I'm willing to bend on in terms of economic policies.


Your qualifier on regulations is also interesting to me. I agree that public safety regulations are a no brainer. But would you not see regulations that ensure the economic safety of workers and small businesses just as important?


Again, you're gonna stay on the fringes if you never actually start moving your libertarian views closer to being pro-american instead of being completely anti-government. Just my thoughts.


I think I strattle the fence between being a "lefty" and being a "libertarian". Which means, I'm gonna continue to identify myself as such.
