Libertarian, here (obvious for those who know me). So what do I believe in that runs counter to my side?
1. I belive firmly in pro-life. 9 times out of 10, the girl going in for an abortion was simply irresponsible and shagged either without protection at all, or did so knowing full well the risks that come even with protected sex. It disgusts me that these girls are not made to deal with their decision as an adult. If you are adult enough to have sex, you are adult enough to deal with the consequences. How many wonderful people have died because little suzy wanted some dick? Imagine how many happy parents are out there that are willing to adopt a baby into a healthy home that go wanting because a doctor thought it was okay to take a hook to the babie's head. Hypocritical oath, says I.

2. There are moments that I think that the best solution for overpopulation is to allow those who are evil and self serving to rule. As horrible and inhuman as it seems, my lower nature does tell me that in order to take care of overpopulation, people have to either die, or not reproduce. Can you imagine Congress passing laws that limit reproduction? People would lose their minds. When I have suggested not allowing people with the genetics attacked to apathy and hate and ignorance to reproduce, I am always shot down. I know I sound like a monster for saying it, but someone has to be devil's advocate in this. I honestly thing that some people should be discouraged from breeding.

3. Free market. One of the most important parts of being a libertarian, and I have trouble with it. I don't think that the government should interfere with the market, BUT right now very few corporations are responsible enough to operate fairly without someone watching over their shoulders. While governmental intervention in the economy imperils both the personal freedom and the material prosperity of every American, without governmental involvment, international banks and their corporations would quickly take over. We want liberty and freedom, but a lot of us aren't willing to be free and liberated responsibly. Kinda like communism, a few selfish jackasses ruin what could be true peace and prosperity for everyone.

Aside from that, I'll always say the only justified function of government is the protection of the lives, rights and property of its citizens. Each citizen is responsible for never infringing on the rights of any citizen of the world and always being eternally vigilant in protecting our freedom and liberty. Each life is worth more than money can offer and taking a life is unthinkable.
