    Be sure to leave your home unlocked tonight and hang a sign that says "Come right on in for free stuff" on your every door.
    But what would that be? Insane? Yeah, "insane" strikes me as an adequate description.
    How would you like to have a home on our present southern border right now?
    Back in early 70s I crossed the Mexican border and drove from Mexicali to Tijuana just to see what there was to see.
    Today I wouldn't go five miles near that border.
    Up until recently I thought the Libertarian platform at least cared about public safety.
    But when it at least comes to open borders, I guess Libertarians are like libtards.
    Well, me dino sure as hell ain't like no lib anything anymore, I reckon.
    I'll go back to calling myself just a Constitutional conservative.
    No mo' "L's" for old dino.

    This country was built by immigrants.
    The current immigration laws are insane.
    Therefore, we should allow criminals and ISIS members unrestricted entry into the country.
    Have I presented your argument correctly?

    Given that more states are becoming "toss-ups" rather than locks for either major party, Gary can do quite a bit apart from educating. He could help determine the outcome of the election, and influence the winning candidate's policies going forward.

    RINO means Republican In Name Only. Since Gary Johnson is not a RIN, he cannot be a RINO.

    Me dino can answer that question.
    It is because the power hungry elites of the Jackass Party view incoming Mexicans, Hispanics and Muslims as future dim for Dem low information voters.
    When those waves of children swarmed over the border, I recall Princess Pelosi with a big giddy smile saying that she viewed that illegal alien youth invasion as "an opportunity."
    Me dino knew exactly what kooky kow meant by that without even have to think about it.

    Open borders
    is not insanity. This country was built by immigrants in the first place. In the second place the current immigration laws are indeed insane. In the third place I agree you are not Libertarian. Hopefully you will not have to live under the kind of government the people you wish to deny are required to live under.

    All right. Show me where any person has an inalienable right to go to live in any community at all, whether said community wishes him to continue to live there or not.

    I've been and voted Libertarian for decades. But this time around, I'm voting for Trump. Yes, I know - he's not Libertarian either.

    But the issues that give me pause right now are: 1. Keeping Hillary & Bill OUT. 2. Applying the same laws to Mexicans and others coming into the USA that their home countries apply to Americans. For example, when I go to Mexico I must first buy valid auto liability insurance. If I want to stay more than 90 days in the country, I need to get legal permits (an FM-3 Card). If I'm in Mexico and I want free food, free medical care, free housing, welfare, social security, etc. etc. - they tell me to get lost. So how is it that Mexicans and others aren't expected to respect American laws the same as we must respect theirs?

    Since that issue will never get through congress, its a moot point. (I don't agree with Johnson's POV on that either, mia, but Johnson will not use an executive order.)

    you are right about this. I think its a great opportunity to explain to people unfamiliar with libertarian ideas how they might work in practice. BUT, I think it crazy to think Johnson could actually do anything except educate (and thats ok really). There will be other elections.

    The whole race is being run to get rid of candidates by finding dirt on them. Its disgusting. We need to find a president who will actually do a good job at running the country. Squeaky clean politically correct candidate wont ever make a good president.

    Agreed. That's why the Gulch needed a defense. Rand didn't treat any element of that defense except for the refractor ray screen. But I would imagine Hank Rearden's defecting workforce doubled as the perimeter guard force shortly after he arrived. It's not as if they lacked combat experience.

    I started to erase "wild bunch" but then thought it less an insult and more of a complement.
    Being an old dino, I decided to see how it would splash. Just for the hell of it.

    Me dino got guns and lots of ammo too.
    I also live in sweet home Alabama
    But flood this country with Muslim refugees?
    I'll be 70 in March.
    I'll likely be gone before Muslims grow fruitful and multiply in order to take over.
    As for my grown kids and their kids, they may have to move to a Hindu country like India.
    I never heard of a Hindu terrorist, though some seem to think rape is okay until they are arrested.

    You are basing your assumption on the public being intellectually aware. When Lincoln, with his new party ran, those who voted were pretty astute. I doubt if you could say that today. And, because of our increasingly bad education system, I don't see much hope for the future. I hope you are right, because if you are, there's a miniscule chance for a better tomorrow.
