Ron Paul is fairly libertarian, though not perfect, but he has some decidedly conservative/Republican deviations.

Meh. The Libertarian Party has sold out its principles, often to conservatives/Republicans.

What the heck is this? A self-granted title?

Firstly, the Groud Zero Mosque is most certainly located at Ground Zero. It is indeed one block away, not two blocks as the leftist spin from the liberal media would have one believe. It is two blocks from the WTC complex, and only one block from the area of destruction. Actually, it is part of Ground Zero, in that a piece of the landing gear from the 1st plane flown by Muhammed Attah slammed through the roof of the building.

Stretching a bit, no?

Secondly, the author claims that it is incorrect to call it a Mosque. On this, he does have it half-right. It would be much more appropriate to call it an Al Qaeda, Hamas linked Terrorist Training Center, given the extensive links of the developers to Islamic extremists and terrorists.

Proof?

What about Fox News’s connection to terrorism?

However, a Mosque will indeed be part of the development.

I’m not sure it’s accurate to call the prayer room or whatever it is a mosque. In any event, it is not accurate to call the entire center a mosque because it contains a prayer area or a mosque. This center is more akin to a YMCA or a JCC. The prayer area is like a chapel in a hospital. Do you call a hospital a church because it has a chapel in it? No, you don’t.

Thirdly, the author makes a gross error in calling himself a “libertarian.” IslamoFascism is completely incompatible with Liberty.

The author is a libertarian. You are not. Not all Muslims are Islamo-fascists.

In the future, the author should refrain from using the term Libertarian so as not to embarrass those of us who truly are Libertarians.

Why do you capitalize ‘libertarian’? The philosophy is not synonymous with the Libertarian Party.

Libertarians say, in effect, mind your own business. But the demagogues say, in effect, that if we mind our own business, some great calamity will befall us. Then we follow them and, lo and behold, a great calamity DOES transpire.

The USS Arizona sunk just outside of Pearl Harbor. You would not say that it’s not part of Pearl Harbor, cause technically it’s not inside the Harbor itself. Ditto for the Burling Coat Factory which is not in the WTC complex itself .

Secondly, the author claims that it is incorrect to call it a Mosque. On this, he does have it half-right. It would be much more appropriate to call it an Al Qaeda, Hamas linked Terrorist Training Center, given the extensive links of the developers to Islamic extremists and terrorists. However, a Mosque will indeed be part of the development. So, while it is better to call it an Islamic Terrorist Training Center, Ground Zero Mosque is still descriptive.

Thirdly, the author makes a gross error in calling himself a “libertarian.” IslamoFascism is completely incompatible with Liberty. It is indeed the polar opposite of Libertarianism. Islamists after all, wish to impose Sharia Law which would outlaw marijuana, jail gays, stone to death prostitutes, ban free speech particularly for cartoonists and comedians, and force all of our wives/girlfriends to wear a black burqa from head to toe. Anyone who aligns themselves in any way with such a belief is in no way a “Libertarian,” in any manner, shape or form. They are indeed a Fascist, or at the very least a Fascist appeasor.

In the future, the author should refrain from using the term Libertarian so as not to embarrass those of us who truly are Libertarians.
