Ron Paul Believes that our Founding Fathers Were Libertarians. Awesome!!!:mrgreen:
Watch Video-> YouTube- Ron Paul: The Founding Fathers Were Libertarians
A bunch of exclusively white males who owned slaves?
Sounds about right.

Well, I think that most of the them would be kind of PO'd at what's been going on for the last century or so.
They probably would be, but I think that's independent and mutually exclusive to libertarianism.

Jefferson would be considered a libertarian today.
... States rights is something both the Founding slave owners and Libertarians all seem to be fond of.
Do you think France should be able to determine what Germany does with it's laws?
The EU prohibits member states from violating certain human rights. The US does the same (i.e. slavery). So if you're talking specifically about a human rights violation as opposed to, say, German contract law, then yes France has a right to be involved as a member of the EU.

Yea but so many people misunderstand the issue of states rights.
Hatuey, like many others, goes out of his way to equate states rights with slavery every time.
As if one bad occurrence, of the use of states rights, means that the philosophy is totally invalid.
And I believe everyone regardless of lean should feel this way. Consider this, instead of trying to change the entire nation to please a portion of the population while upsetting another portion. With more state powers and less Federal oversight and control, we can have 50 flavors to choose from. So for example CA wants to be extreamly left and the majority of its citizens agree, why should people in the rest of the nation need to live with the same laws/freedoms/ect if they do not wish to. It would be in the benefit for everyone (left/right/center). Instead of each side fighting the entire nation over things that would affect them (and by doing so achieving little) they would only need to worry about there own state for the most part.

But it points a major flaw in states' rights. States' rights advocates say that their philosophy protects against oppression from the national government. However, the national government can protect from oppression by state governments.
Personally, I prefer for the national government and the state governments to compete with each other for the popularity of their voters.

I guess Hatuey supports the suspension of Habeas Corpus then or the collectivization of the Soviet Farms.
we all can play that game. States rights were an inherent assumption of the founders. Its called the tenth amendment
He just likes to try to give libertarians a bloody nose.
It's annoying but that's about it.
National governments have done the exact same thing though.
I could bring up the Nazi's and Stalinist Soviets every time someone wants to use centralized governance as a platform.
It doesn't add to the debate, unless you approach it like how you did.
Instead of, how others use hyperbole to insult another persons philosophy.
