“Libertarian is like communism they both sound great but when put into practice it never seems to work.”
When was libertarianism put into practice? If you mean clasical liberalism it worked very well, it is the reason the West is so much more advanceded than the rest of the world and used even more advanced.
Re foreign policy, I have been a libertarian by whole adult life, that does not mean I agree with the Rothbard position on the US and foreign policy. He is not the only or even dominant part of libertarian thinking. Also some of the Paul suporters need to read some history in re the barbary war if you thing Jefferson did not send the US armed forces then you have to explain the meaning of “from the halls of Montazuma to the shores of Tripoli” in the marine hymn.
Re gold or commodity money I agree with Paul and think that silver money is constitutionaly mandated.
