C'mon! C'mon! Someone defend all of 3.4 as stopping bad guys from packing themselves in 18-wheelers that go zoom over the border.
Was it Ross Perot who proposed we have four lane super highways where truckers do not stop going either way at the Mexican border?
Some goofball did around that election time.

As an active Libertarian of Arizona since the LP beginnning over 40 years ago, just a few days ago I set out to read their platform.

It's way obsolete, and just plain awful -- little did I know! Then we see Gary Johnson carrying our banner, and he offers nothing better than the Big Two. Leaves me in a big pickle but then, we're all there!

Straw man.
The representatives of the people in congress have the constitution on their side in this case. Or do you propose ignoring the constitutional authority of congress under Artilce I, Section 8?
The immigration laws made by congress are constitutional and they should be enforced, just as similar laws are enforced under laws in all advanced, industrialized countries in the world.
Perhaps you should lobby congress to make open immigration a part of any free trade agreement with other advanced countries.

If you associate your American-ness with the acts of your parents or grandparents, that's your decision.

I view an American as someone who wants to speak English, who values natural rights, and who values the rule of law. I view an American as someone who stands for the National Anthem with hand over heart (or saluting while in uniform) and who sings with passion - even if off-key. I view an American as someone who has read and understands (no mean feat there) the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence and would fight to defend both. I view an American as someone who doesn't disparage others for believing differently and will openly defend their right to speak their beliefs even though they disagree. I view an American as someone who takes the time to understand political candidates and their platforms before voting their conscience. I view an American as someone who works hard and enjoys the fruits of their own labors. I view an American as someone who does everything in their power to take care of themselves and who would never call for the government to force others to care for them.

Give me that kind of American and you will see those who can right the ship of this nation.

Well said.

At the center of immigration policy is really the Right to Association. But that is a two-way contract - not a one-way one. Those who are already part of the Association (in this case the nation known as the United States of America and occupying its defined geographical boundaries) are being ignored on whether or not they want to accept any more applicants!

"How many Christians would replace the Constitution with Biblical law?"

You tell me. I don't see them calling for it. I see them trying to retain a right to believe what they want in spite of Obamacare and the Federal Government.

I can cite you the CDC studies on the STD rates among homosexuals if you want an argument against it. Or the suicide rates. Or the future of children. Or the morality in general. It's not just a religious argument. Religion presents some of the most potent arguments against homosexuality, but they depend on someone believing in the continuance beyond death.

"Christianity was used to justify slavery"

Uh, you're going to step in a hole going after that one. You show me where in Christianity's teachings they encourage slavery. You won't find it. And note that the slavery of the Old Testament is nowhere near the same as the slavery of the Africans.

The insanity of our current immigration laws is that they are way too restrictive. The immigrants who built this country could not even get here legally today.
I have no objection to restrictions on criminals and those who would come here to damage and cause harm, but that is not what people seem to be saying. They seem more concerned about immigrants not paying taxes or working on jobs that should go to Americans.

Enuf people can definitely have an effect on politics

Not sure about that, the LP did get one electoral vote in 1972. And even without any electoral votes, Gary could still influence the outcome. Ralph Nader did in 2000.

Why does just now learning that NOT surprise me?

And he LOOKS like a pothead to me, especially when he gets a little upset over something.
IMO, ISIS needs to be destroyed.

He's against most foreign intervention, which IS Libertarian. He's a pothead. That IS Libertarian. On balance, a poor choice for the Libertarian Party.

Gary's VP is anti second amendment

Bloviations are more like it.

These days Christians are persecuted by organized homosexuals and (again I stress the o word) organized atheists.
I get mail from Christian groups asking for signed petitions and donations to get organized persecution groups as well as the government off their backs.
I know some homosexuals. They don't bother me. One even plays the piano during Christian church services.
Some Christians actually follow the teachings of Christ.

That is possible, but the electoral college won't give him any votes

I decided to copy the whole thing~ta da!~

"3.4 Free Trade and Migration
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of humans as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a threat to security, health or property. "

The above reads kinda conflicted to old dino. With all that "unrestricted movement of humans" going on if not zooming past, how do we spot and sort out any potential bad guys? Rely on tips?
I first became leery of Johnson when I heard him say all you needed to beat a fence was a taller ladder.
I'd like to hear his opinion about all the Muslim refugees Obummer wants to swarm into the states "unrestrained."

Against the wishes of what people? You are demanding that we all obey all of the looter laws of Congress.

Christians also would persecute homosexuals and a wide class of other "sinners." Among the many reasons that the Pharisees and Sadducees asked the Romans to arrest Jesus is that they did not want their boys exercising naked in gymnasiums like Greeks -- Simon called Peter, Luke, and others were Hellenic Jews. The problem is religion, per se, not some special brand of it.

Your mind is closed. I will not confuse you with the facts.

Christians, Muslims, and (unassimilated) Jews are all of one kind, very much like practicing Hindus and - when you get down to fundamentals - communists. What brings you to Galt's Gulch, a focal point of the Virtue of Selfishness, Reason, and Reality?

As far as I know, only 1 of my 4 grandparents arrived at Ellis Island with a passport. Are you passing judgment on my loyalty as an American?

If that's right, cool.
I'm easy.

Not according to most polls. She does worse with Gary in the race.
