So stupid. There are left winged Libertarian and right winged Libertarian.

Interesting. I consider myself a "Small L Libertarian" with the exception of Foreign policy. I am in favor of honoring treaties. Although I do think it is primarily the US's job to protect the sea lanes (As Great Britain did before). I am Christian and opposed to abortion, but Harry Browne is right; can't get rid of it, why even bother attempting to fight it. I had better not be paying for it though!

While that is overall true, it can't quite be applied to the Tea Party. Not everyone in the Tea Party has the same religious point of view, and there are even still people in the Tea Party who may be religious yet still believe in evolution. The difference between the TP and the Church is that the Church was (obviously) based on and ruled around their beliefs.Ignorance within the TP though boils down to individual beliefs, not party policy (strictly speaking about religious ignorance of course).

thebuzzzkill, actually ignorance is very dangerous, and the Christian church has a long record of cruelty, that even the Vatican and the Pope spent the last 50 years asking for apology. To deny a fact like evolution, and to insist that the life on earth started less than 10,000 years ago, when in fact started 3.5 billions ago, makes the remain 54% look like ignorant people,, and as Voltaire said: as long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.

Yes, but I don't believe rights are given to us, I think we own them. The only way your rights can be taken is if you try to take someone else's rights, or get in the way of their rights. This idea that a mother can decide if her fetus, or "future human", has rights is wrong. That fetus does have rights, not given by law, but by nature or god. Whatever way you want to look at it.

Now I'm a Libertarian who believes in evolution and doesn't associate myself with the Tea Party. But the whole religion has no place here type of argument goes both ways. Many people, myself included, are very strongly against using religion as part of a political argument (from the way you talk, you sound like you do too). Well it's a two-way street. Just like you can't use religion to prove a political point, you can't use religion to discredit someone.

I think it's funny how you guys are saying "Ron Paul fan." lol It just sounds silly to me. But I am Ron Paul fan too

Well yes, hassanalus's point about about masturbation and girls on there period was somewhat silly and wasn't a good analogy, even considering that he was making a joke. I'll give you that. I just don't think that whether or not abortion is considered murder should depend on either religion or already established law (for example how you used the fact that fetuses have rights for your point).
