What I'm doing doesn't even vaguely resemble splitting hairs. I'm making a bold statement of simple fact, its pretty much the opposite of splitting hairs. You are free to assert the statement of fact is wrong, but your statement describing it was silly.

Corporations exploit their workers and you as a Libertarian approve that practice. Corporations exploit third world countries for their labor and there the choice may be be exploited or starve.

How do you define exploit? By some definitions I'd say your statement is mostly false. By others I'd say its true but that there is nothing wrong with it. Rather than getting lost in the different shades of meanings, why don't you just define yours as precisely as we can, and for the moment will use it. If I don't like the definition I'll say so, but I'll still probably be willing to use it temporarily for the sake of having one consistent meaning and not getting bogged down in semantics.

The Libertarian Party has no moral foundation.

Depending on exactly how such a statement is meant and taken its either nonsense, or the same thing could be said about any party.

In any case I'm not a member of the Libertarian party, and I never have been. The same holds true for most libertarians.
