EDIT: If anyone is interested in learning more about the Libertarian Party instead of listening to someone like Norton who has already shown he has no idea what he's talking about, I would suggest heading over the the Cato Institute and reading their Key Concepts of Libertarianism which is succinct and informative.
Norton's claims about the LP are taken directly from the Libertarian Party's platform. Just because you don't personally subscribe to the LP's exact interpretation of "Libertarianism" doesn't make him wrong, it just shows how insulated you are from truth or reality.
The LP calls for the abolition of every federal agency not explicitly required by the constitution. The only functions actually required by those criteria would be dept of justice and state. Even defense wouldn't require the Army, Marines, or Navy, we'd just call forth the militia as neeed.

Trump has been fully vetted, everything is pretty much known about him except his tax returns.
Therefore many people feel quite secure in knowing how he "thinks and believes"
and don't have to wait to see what happens to know what is going to happen
Trump will have a very willing Congress with his fellow Republicans in control of both the House and Senate.
He will be able to do pretty much anything he, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell want to do
So let's get on with it!
Start by repealing the ACA please, let's see what happens when 25 million lose their healthcare and hundreds of thousands lose their jobs in the healthcare industry.
by all means appoint only Supreme Court Justices who will overthrow Roe V Wade!
Lets force women who are raped to give birth because they will just live the infant!
Lets give another massive tax cut to the 1% and lets increase the debt by greatly expanding defense spending!
Privatize Medicare, give em a "voucher" to buy health insurance from the for maximum profit private insures because repealing the ACA will increase their profits even more!
Repeal Dodd-Frank Financial regulation, lets have another Republican Recession like in 07-09!
It is time to let America experience exactly what they voted for - Republicans in charge

This crowd here trashing Trump before he has a chance to prove himself, is equivalent to you all saying Ondra is going to fail miserably on New Dawn.
F*#k that.
How about he gets on his knees and apologize to the African Americans he insulted by cheerleading the racist birther lie and calling black peoples lazy? For demanding Muslims be registered? For calling Mexicans rapists and insisting that a Mexican judge can't serve on his case? For mocking disabled people? For spending a lifetime treating women like garbage?
Then, can that alt right pile of puke bannon.
He does that then maybe I'll give him a chance to prove himself.

Norton's claims about the LP are taken directly from the Libertarian Party's platform.
You guys need to compare notes, because Norton's post explicitly said he pulled it off of Wiki.
EDIT: As a side note, anyone that does happen to stumble across the Libertarian Platform could skip directly to the bottom to reach the gist -
No. 4 -- Our silence about any other particular government law, regulation, ordinance, directive, edict, control, regulatory agency, activity, or machination should not be construed to imply approval.

"That's what I expected out of you, Bob.
Clearly, I struck a nerve. You should have voted."
You are pathetic.
Who cares where Robert L is from.

"Obama is a little girl who soiled his panties."
"Let (him) have a chance to live up to his words."
"If he fails .... then you have some ground to stand on."
Cragman
K. We'll see about you and Trump. The words that you're trying to live up to gives many of us pause.

Um. I care where Robert L is from. Because if you're from Canada for example, its easy to have opinions on things such as immigration when you have a wall already.
Or better yet, an opinion on military..

"I'm going to be dating her in ten years, can you believe it?" (About a ten year old girl.)
"I don't even wait."
"Grab them by the pu$$y."
"I get away with stuff like that." (About walking in on naked underage girls because he runs the miss USA pageant)
Donald Trump
Yes, we can believe it about you Donald.
Who Cragman says he prayed to be our leader.
Yea, we can believe it about you too. But about someone who doesn't share your beliefs:
"Obama is a little girl who soiled his panties."
Oh yea, there's that great Cragman guy who loves to tell us about how our moral sensibilities are so pathetic!
Huh, why exactly did you choose to insult him by calling him a little girl? When trump meets a little girl he thinks about ..... ing her.
Those other guys - whatever. Take a closer look at the man in the mirror.

Cragman, did you really say that about Michelle Obama? She has always been someone I admired.
Why do people say such vile things? What did she ever do to you?

People say REALLY nasty things and DO ugly things that later, they deeply regret
Trump doesn't apologize for what he says, nor does he truly regret anything he says. He only rearranges his words to claim to be something else, depending on whom he's talking to.
Kind of like what LEB used to do.

What is honourable about subservently agreeing to be led by a sleezy, cheating, women groping, racism insighting, million-dollar trust fund inheriting morally bankrupt, TV actor come demagogue?
The alternative to a structured process of government, is to revert to the good old days: Whichever side has the strongest army, wins.
You really want that?
