Excellent. It is almost identical to my own thinking.

Too filled with rhetoric and liberal usage of things like "Republicon" and Democrap," which make me think the author has less to say than they wish or are pretending.
No fan of Republicans, but that doesn't mean I have to jump at anything bad anyone can say. If you can find one of these written a little more academicly with citing, maybe-but this just proves that libertarians (I'm guessing) aren't above the silly name games.

Maybe your tracts would have credibility if the authors didn't wildly throw about the words "communist" and "traitor" in every paragraph.

Actually:
Regular readers of these weekly diatribes know that I support Michael Peroutka, Constitution Party candidate for President
Michael Peroutka is an isolationist conservative. He also wants to install a Christian theocracy in America, which is explicitly against the wishes of your founding fathers.

If the first article is the same guy I am thinking of, I ignore his comments.
To him Lincoln is the anti-christ and if you think otherwise, you are stupid.

I think there are greater enemies to the LP than Christians. The founding fathers were Christians themselves. This does not mean that all Christians support civil rights, but it does not say that the belief system is inherently against them. No, I think the greatest enemies to Libertarians are the Democrats and the Republicans.

That isn't a good reason, though the lack of opinion would be a good reason.

Not really, most of the founding fathers were Unitarians, who aren't really that Christian, or Deists, who definitely aren't Christian. Biggest examples are Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin, neither of them were Christian, Jefferson was a strong Deist and Ben Franklin was either a Deist or even possibly an Atheist. Therefore, most of the references to God in the Declaration or Constitution were not aimed at the Judeo-christian god but to the supreme being of the Deists.

Not really. An isolationist is someone who wants to bury his head in the sand, erect a wall around himself, and close himself off from the rest of the world. Peroutka is a non-interventionist.

I'm not saying that all Christians are anti-libertarian or in favour of theocracy. But theocracy of any religion is fundamentally opposed to libertarianism.
