But some libertarians say Johnson and Weld are not libertarian enough. I'll confront the candidates with those criticisms.

For example, Johnson sides with judges who say government must force Christian bakers to bake cakes for gay weddings

"If you discriminate on the basis of religion, that is a black hole," Johnson said. "You should be able to discriminate for stink or (if a customer is) not wearing shoes, (but) if we discriminate on the basis of religion, that's doing harm to a big class of people.

It might. But this is not a clear-headed way to think about the role of government. Discrimination hurts, but discrimination is part of life. We discriminate when we pick our friends, jobs, where we live. In private life, discrimination is constant

Government discrimination is wrong. Jim Crow -- segregation -- was very wrong. It is good that the Civil Rights Act ended that. But Barry Goldwater was right 52 years ago and Rand Paul right in 2013, when each said that two of the nine parts of the Civil Rights Act were wrong: the two parts that reach into private life.

I suspect Johnson defends the rules because he fears the ignorant media won't acknowledge the difference. Goldwater's comments helped end his presidential hopes, and the media bullied Rand Paul into silence

But Libertarian candidates should explain the difference, not cave in to the anti-discrimination mob.

No Christian photographer should be forced to photograph a gay wedding. No Black Student Association should be forced to accept whites. No Jewish baker should be forced to put swastikas on a cake.

Every private business should be allowed to refuse service to whomever they want. Outlawing all discrimination perpetuates hatred by driving it underground. Hatred festers when people don't know who the bigots are

Yes, it was cruel when lunch counters turned blacks away. But today there are many places to eat lunch or buy wedding cakes. If a restaurant refuses blacks, others will profit by serving people the racists reject. Many of us will boycott the racists and give money to the inclusive businesses. That's a better solution than government trying to force people to act against their beliefs.

Government should respect that difference between public and private life. Originally Posted by John Stossel

But you've got to look at all his positions. And on most Johnson makes a lot of sense. Many on the left believe he'd eliminate the social safety net, but that's not the case. And many on the right believe he'd cut defense to the bone, which again is not true. In any event Congress would serve as a check.

But this is all moot, he has no chance in the election. If Hillary wins as the betting sites and polls now indicate, I just hope the Republicans retain at least the House of Representatives. Otherwise the country is in for a rough four years.
