It is also difficult to discuss openly, because I continue to have shame and guilt over it. How can I consider myself a conservative if I myself am supported on the government dole? Doesn't that make me a hypocrite?<br /><br />It's also something that has made me leery of the LP and libertarians in general. How refreshing to encounter one who holds principles of liberty dearly, and yet is neither doctrinaire nor ideological inflexible.<br /><br />I don't know if there is a subset of libertarians known as Practical Libertarians or Pragmatic Libertarians, but if there is, I think I might be more interested in joining the LP. Part of the turn off has been the fringe and the nut cases. However, the GOP seems to be falling under the control of its own fringe nut cases.Marcos El Malohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336373770646880848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772931514816068055.post-46994760647246946532009-01-13T11:35:00.000-08:002009-01-13T11:35:00.000-08:00Judge,On or about Friday, I have submitted the fol...Judge,<BR/>On or about Friday, I have submitted the following comment which did not met your moderation standards.<BR/>Can you please point out what is wrong with my comment?<BR/>please use standa@merlin4x.com<BR/><BR/>-Stan<BR/><BR/><BR/>Judge Jim Gray stated: "Without governmental and public support of programs like these, the mentally ill by default will hang out in public libraries, receive their medical treatment only in hospital emergency rooms, and be warehoused in county jails."<BR/><BR/>Judge, the Libertarianism and Liberalism are mutually exclusive doctrines therefore the Government has no business in determining anyones mental capacity.
