Gay Marraige
The Right wants government to outlaw gay marraige. The Left wants the government to allow and protect gay marriage.
The Libertarians wonder why government is involved in marriage in the first place.

because there's money involved.
Free Trade For All - No More WTO, World Bank, NAFTA, etc etc
These organizations were established by the elite ruling economic classes and have done nothing but keep 3rd world countries poor whilst protecting and bolstering wealthy individuals and nations. They are totally and utterly political organizations, and their practices continue to destroy lives.
but.... there's a lot of money involved.
Stop Meddling In The Foreign Affairs of Other Nations
Across the board, this is one of the main platforms of every Libertarian group. Need I say more? FFS. It's the most important tenant of the Lib platform.
do you have any idea how much money this involves
Legalization of Pot / End the so-called 'War on Drugs'
Nuff said. Nearly every Libertarian group supports these two measures.
government... admit being wrong AND lose all that money!! pfft!!!
End Financial Support (esp military) for Israel and Every Other 'friendly' nation
Can't get any clearer than that, really.
religious money!
Drastic Reduction of Military Spending and Complete Withdrawl of US forces from Europe.
What are US troops still doing in Europe? FFS.
keeping the money flowing!
End All Drone Strikes
A drone here, a drone there. Pretty soon we're talking about real lives and money.
yeah... money!
End the embargo on Cuba, re-establish trade and diplomatic ties.
This shit has gone on long enough.
it's our money. Cuba can't have none.
Stop Bank and Corporate Bail Outs
No matter what the circumstance, the federal government in the US should stop bailouts.
but, the money!
Get Rid of the Patriot Act - or at least most provisions
Libertarians see the Patriot Act as one of the most heinous assaults on Liberty since the USA was founded.
some of us made a lot of money from those contracts
Keep the Internet Free From Government Interference
Libertarians feel that any involvement by the government to regulate and police the internet is flat out wrong.
but we have to protect the money! and ummm... the children. yeah
Support of A Patients' Right To Die
Libertarians believe that terminally ill patients should have a right to end their own lives with medical assistance.
our parents don't like this and it was their money that got us into politics... so NO!
Hold CEOs Accountable
Libertarians would end the endless myriad of corporate and LLC protection laws that prevent CEOs and other high ranking corporate leadership from being held personally accountable for massive failures and corruption. Prior to the early 1970s, bank owners and other corp executives (and their personal fortunes) were not so easily protected and immune from civil and criminal action.
wait, you're serious? but they have so much money. what if we just move them around a little?

The main contention was that LSZs rebuttal was missing the point by listing side issues that where not discussed. That one still stands.
