Meet Kevin Craig, a candidate of the Libertarian Party for Congress in Missouri who thinks it's perfectly fine for individual states to declare homosexuality a crime. That's, as Jason notes, a big step backward from the LP being the first party with an anti-sodomy law plank in its platform.

Also note the link on the left to the"Institute for Historical Review," a well-known Holocaust Revisionist site.

I personally want to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Craig for his humane agreement with Jefferson that capital punishment for homosexuality was too strong. I know many, many gay and lesbian friends of mine are eternally grateful for his compassion and humanity in taking that bold and brave position. I suppose my gay male friends should be happy that he seems to think castration would be okay because Jefferson appeared to support it. After all, it's better than the death penalty.

If you'd like to see more on Mr. Craig's views on homosexuality, go here.

Here he is on porn. Yes, he says"no censorship," but when your policy links are all to the Family Research Council, it's hard to take that seriously. Read the entry on AIDS at your own risk.

For someone like me, who thinks libertarians ought to be part of a broader, more cosmopolitan, progressive political movement, having LP candidates like Mr. Craig is enough to make me stop calling myself a libertarian.
