My Senate vote usually goes to a minor party, this time around it will be for the Liberty and Democracy Party. They support lower taxes, free markets, less government interference and personal responsibility. At first I was a bit uncertain as they have no foreign affairs or defense policy, something which is inexcusable for a party standing for federal office. Even more worrying some of them appear to be isolationist with a streak of anti-Americanism. However if by some fluke one of them actually gets elected I can’t see them do any real harm. I expect pro- ANZUS Rudd to win and with a similarly pro- American opposition there will be no opportunity for minor parties to damage national security.November 6, 2007

Show me one anti-american LDP member.
It is not “anti-American” to disagree with the American government. Indeed, what makes America great is that it doesn’t trust the government.
People who trust their government too much are a curse on us all. I wouldn’t call them anti-America. Just anti-human.
