As a libertarian, I am insulted.<br>
<br>
As a libertarian, I'm used to it.<br>
<br>
Kirkers and (hardcore) Libertarians do have a few things in common
though:<br>
<br>
- libertarians don't believe in legal gay marriage. They don't believe
in legal straight marriage either - marriage is a personal or religious
issue, and government has no right regulating it.<br>
- (some) libertarians don't believe in zoning laws<br>
- many libertarians are against public mandated education and believe
it lowers education quality<br>
- the general idealism of both is good - but for some reason we both
attract a bunch of pig-headed extremists<br>
<br>
See people, we have to find what we have in <i>common</i> if we want
to live in peace.<br>
<br>

P.S. Are there any other libertarians or members of the Free State
Project on Vision2020?<br>

I'm so happy that Dale Courtney is back on V2020, especially since he
signed off just as I came on in October, 2003. I hope that he stays
and sticks to his promise to retract ideas that he cannot
defend.<br>
<br>
Courtney has been so generous with his apologies in the past few days,
so
I naively thought I could get one from him on the insults here has
hurled
at me at
<a href="http://right-mind.us/archive/2005/05/24/4133.aspx"
eudora="autourl">http://right-mind.us/archive/2005/05/24/4133.aspx</a>.
<br>
<br>
But no dice from Mr. Rightmind. I kindly requested that he
apologize not only for the insults but for the use of my picture
(created
by my own digital camera and the hands of lovely life partner), but he
has refused. Before my request he had removed my picture (as well
as images of Rose and Saundra), but left a link to my picture as well
as
his henchman Don #2's "piggie" insults about two of Moscow's
brightest women.<br>
<br>
Here is Courtney's very "pleasant" and "fair"
commentary after posting a story about an Afghan woman had been killed
for being too secular:<br>
<br>
[Posting] Dedicated to Nick Gier -- who cannot tell the difference
between the Taliban and Evangelical Christians.<br>
<br>
Don't forget: his PhD stands for “Piled Higher and Deeper”...<br>

“When people sin, everyone has to pay”Douglas Wilson, June 7, 2002
<br>
<br>
In my next posting I will comment on major differences between Wilson's
religion and his behavior and fine evangelical Christians that I either
know or have studied in depth. Donovan will have his
answer.<br>

<br>
Note: for newcomers in a recent blogg entry Wilson called the
intoleristas "banshees." Courtney and others have learned
well at the feet of the Master. The main rule is: When responding
to an argument, hurl insults instead of responding according to the
rules
of debate. <br>
<br>
Which reminds me: Courtney owes me an answer to my piece
"Libertarianism and Christianity," not the insults he has
posted on his site, but right here on V2020. One of his Dons
(either #1 or #2) claims that libertarianism is synonymous with
Christianity, which amounts to one of the most incredible manipulation
of
terms that I've seen in a long time. Stay tuned for a posting on
this subject as well. <br>
