It is more a matter of personal integrity and strategy. It is simply lying by omission. It must be admitted that since no one has a natural right to hear only the truth, lying is nonaggressive. I contend, however, that it is counter to strict personal integrity and is abysmally poor strategy. Strategically, the first question to consider is whether or not there is a distinctively libertarian point of view to political issues.
Libertarianism consists of more than advocating certain repeals and reforms.
It consists of advocating them for a specific reason. Both conservatives and libertarians attack big government and taxes. Both liberals and libertarians call for absolute freedom of speech . . . The point is that unless a libertarian gives the underlying reason for a specific proposal, there is nothing intrinsically libertarian about it. Second, the benefits of consistency and openness must not be underrated.
