Quote: I saw the Fairtax lesson. That was good. Am I missing anything? I hope you aren't disappointed in me for my liberal social views. Remember I'm from CT and you know all us dang Yankee Republicans are Country Club Repubs.

omelette'smom : In response to some, marriage is a religeous union between a man and a woman. Abortion is taking of a life. Death penalty helps cleanse the gene pool. Marijuana is illegal and should stay that way. I also believe my kids should be allowed to high five again. Girls should be able...

Quote: You keep asking these good questions and illustrating how little I know. I'll get back to you on the fairtax system as I'm totally ignorant of it.

Libertarians are very conservative and adamant constitutionalists.

This thread has turned into a nasty debate and should be locked. To the OP, I feel the same way you do but do not like the isolationalist beliefs of the Libertarian party. I went to a vegetarian party once but there were too many fruits there.
