Here you go. I don't know why you'd deny it.

"Truthfully, there may be several definitions of the term, but in general, libertarianism encompasses all or most of the following: strong support of individual civil liberties, social tolerance, and private property; belief in the positive powers of the free market; and an espousal of constitutionally limited and greatly reduced government. To put it succinctly, the libertarian believes in the freedom of individuals to pursue their lives as they see fit, as long as they cause no harm to others, with minimal governmental interference."

What is a Libertarian: the party & philosophy

"The libertarian believes that the government that governs least, governs best. He believes in maximum personal liberty and minimum government coercion and intrusion in the everyday lives of citizens. The libertarian believes in small government, especially at the federal level, and not getting involved in foreign entanglements. He believes in personal autonomy, both social and economic."

Are you somehow able to edit after I post? Because I swear that is not exactly what I was respondind to.

No, it should not, as long as said property isn't being offered for public use, as in the case of a restaurant.

If the philosophy trumps property rights, then precedent is set, and the whole philosophy behind the original laws come toppling down, and not not ready to permit such a thing.

I'd be interested in why.


Oh, the experiences of people like Ghandi, the Indians, and the Native Americans.
