You obviously don't know the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian.
You obviously don't know the difference between Gatlin's post and Roscoe's post.
You obviously have zero reading comprehension. Roscoe posted an image that reads: No taxes. No Government. No Regulation. Libertarian Paradise. Those 3 elements are not libertarian. They are anarchist. Libertarians DO recognize the need for taxes, government and regulation. Ergo, Roscoe has echoed the same ignorance about the difference between L's and A's as the author of the image.
I suspect you're too dishonest to retract your ignorant falsehood. Libertarian Party Statement of Principles, adopted June 17, 1972 Specifically, we support the eventual repeal of all taxation... In those areas where individual rights or voluntary relations are not involved, we support an immediate reduction of government's present role, and ultimately, a total withdrawal of government intervention

Shall we also post evidence of how the Democrat party supports the right to own slaves? 1972 was, I believe, the birth date of the official Libertarian party, and the philosophy codified was certainly done by only a few people with very minimal review for catching things like excluding minors from the text you quote (assuming the quote is accurate). Certainly the intent was that the passage referring to relationships pertain only to adults, not children. As much as paedophilia is despised today, I think it could only be more so in 1972. But if YOU are honest, you'll reference the current Libertarian party platform instead of citing something that his 44 years old. In fact, I already have in the quote that limits such relationships to adults. The objection to the initiation of force does carry through today. Libertarians are opposed to it. I suppose wantonly attacking other countries as has been the ongoing practice of both R's and D's over the past 30 years is seen by you as very pro-American. Whatever floats your boat.
There are some doozies in the 1972 platform. Always good for a laugh.

[N]o individual, group, or government may initiate force against any other individual, group, or government...

Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery.
