Description

Mr. MacBride is of the thoroughgoing school of libertarianism that would have no

laws against anything other than direct violence against another person or his property, of which position he maintains that "We're no more anarchists than Thomas Jefferson, or Patrick Henry, or Tom Paine." He makes his absolutist points in the most reasonable way: "We look forward to a foreign policy of neutrality. We believe in disengagement from the world. We believe in a political neutrality akin to that set forth for this country by Presidents Washington and Jefferson. We look for a sufficient nuclear deterrent to prevent any nation from ever attacking this country; and, combining that with our policy of non-intervention anywhere else in the world, it would seem to be quite unlikely that this country would again be at war."
