Chris Christie, Republican Governor of New Jersey, warned of a “strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now,” and described the political philosophy, which trends heavily toward a belief in fundamental human rights and fiscal responsibility, as a “very dangerous thought.”
Chris Christie is no stranger to alienating segments of his Republican base. In October of 2012, just a month before the presidential election between Barack Hussein Obama, and Mitt Romney, Christie praised Obama’s reaction in the wake of Hurricane Sandy despite extreme delays...

Really? What about him said "conservative" or "man-of-the-people" other than his affinity for fried foods? You do know that he thought the 911 Mosque was a great idea, right?
Gov. Christie, AKA “FATHANG”, is part of government and like so many in that population, has decided that as more of him was good for whatever, more governmant would be better for all.
FATTHANG knows better than the Founders, understand, ‘untermensch!

and described the political philosophy, which trends heavily toward a belief in fundamental human rights and fiscal responsibility, as a “very dangerous thought.”A belief in "fundamental human rights and fiscal responsibility" has, historically, been very dangerous to tyrants everywhere.
Nobody around here had hugh hopes for Christie since he hugged Obie Won
Rights and responsibilities are dangerous? On what planet?
money and power corrupt, every time. He has sold his soul for a chance to live at 1600. He will lose ( probably to Hillary) and have absolutely no understanding of why.
Fundamental human rights are dangerous thoughts allright.
They tend to leave dictators dangling from a rope.
I too had high hopes for Christie, but like most Populists when given the chance, they prove they have feet of clay...
Beyond that, there is nothing of liberty in this man.
Yup.. “Skinny and fatty sittin’ in a tree K I S S I N G!!”
Chunky C talks a big game but beyond that not much.
My governor (Rick Snyder) is a full on liberal and he actually takes up the hard fights.
I warn America about any politician that hails from NJ.

I never got on the Christie bandwagon. He was more of a populist - just saying what people wanted to hear at the time - and rode the wave others made at the time.
I’m looking in vain for any trace of libertarianism in the current GOP. It’d be an improvement over the groveling.
This one. Just imagine what these two amendments would do to the current government:
| Fiscal Responsibility Amendment | Tax Reform Amendment |
|---|---|
| Section I The power of Congress to regulate the value of the dollar is hereby repealed. Section II The value of the Dollar shall be one fifteen-hundredth avoirdupois ounce of gold of which impurities do not exceed one part per thousand. Section III To guard against Congress using its authority over weights and measures to bypass Section I, the ounce in Section II is approximately 28.3495 grams (SI). Section IV The Secretary of the Treasury shall annually report the gold physically in its possession; this report shall be publicly available. Section V The power of the Congress to assume debt is hereby restricted: the congress shall assume no debt that shall cause the total obligations of the United States to exceed one hundred ten percent of the amount last reported by the Secretary of the Treasury. Section VI Any government agent, officer, judge, justice, employee, representative, or congressman causing gold to be confiscated from a private citizen shall be tried for theft and upon convection shall: a. be removed from office (and fired, if an employee), b. forfeit all pension and retirement benefits, c. pay all legal costs, and d. restore to the bereaved twice the amount in controversy. Section VII The federal government shall assume no obligation lacking funding, neither shall it lay such obligation on any of the several States, any subdivision thereof, or any place under the jurisdiction of the United States. All unfunded liabilities heretofore assumed by the United States are void. Section VIII The federal government shall make all payments to its employees or the several states in physical gold. Misappropriation, malfeasance and/or misfeasance of funds shall be considered confiscation. |
Section I No tax, federal or state, shall ever be withheld from the wages of a worker of any citizen of either. Section II No property shall be seized for failure to pay taxes until after conviction in a jury trial; the right of the jury to nullify (and thereby forgive) this debt shall never be questioned or denied. Section III The second amendment is hereby recognized as restricting the power of taxation, both federal and state, therefore no tax (or fine) shall be laid upon munitions or the sale thereof. Section IV The seventh amendment is also hereby recognized, and nothing in this amendment shall restrict the right of a citizen to seek civil redress. Section V No income tax levied by the federal government, the several States, or any subdivision of either shall ever exceed 10%. Section VI No income tax levied by the federal government, the several States, or any subdivision of either shall ever apply varying rates to those in its jurisdiction. Section VII No retroactive or ex post facto tax (or fee) shall ever be valid. Section VIII The congress may not delegate the creation of any tax or fine in any way. Section IX No federal employee, representative, senator, judge, justice or agent shall ever be exempt from any tax, fine, or fee by virtue of their position. Section X Any federal employee, representative, senator, judge, justice or agent applying, attempting to apply, or otherwise causing the application of an ex post facto or retroactive law shall, upon conviction, be evicted from office and all retirement benefits forfeit. |
