There is something that Libertarians always ask:
HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST US?
I don’t see the Republicrats/Democans doing that!
To lump Libertarians as “liberals”, is of the same mindset that all folks who resemble white folks are ‘all white’, and discount how many Native American half-breeds there might be in the crowd.
Libertarians decry ‘the war on drugs’. Have we won any battles yet? Have we lessened the supply or usage over all these years? NO! But we have made a permanent business out of the police/DEA/FBI ‘find the gopher in the hole’, while pouring how much money iunto that operation.
Now, social issues??? What (*) was “The Great Society”??? How much did that help America, really?? How much of a drainhole of federal money has that created? The Dept. of Educ., initiated by Jimmy Carter. Has THAT done us any better, than when the States had their OWN Education system, and requirements? NO. And how much money has
THAT sucked out of the well? Abortion. It isn’t a woman’s right to choose, because abortions mean death of a living cell/zygote/fetus/baby. It has legitimized the wanton behavior that all religious leaders despise. The federal well pays that, too.
So, in all of this, you can argue social issues, legal issues, constitutional issues, personal rights.
The ‘bottom line’, that drives the family budget, or the budget of a single old man, should bre what drives any and all bantered about issue, because somebody’s get their eyes on somebody’s else’s money, for what that dollar monger wants to do with it. Some folks don’t like the Sunday sermon, they pass the plate. Some folks don’t like what they see on TV, they don’t watch it. But they don’t like what a politician does with their money, sorry folks, it’s already out of your pocket.
Someone told me a long time ago, that what you ‘give’ your money to, what comes out of that ‘thing’, it puts it’s stink on you, too, because you paid for it to exist.
If you have a problem with that statement, it was told to me, in the 1980’s by a traveling preacher named Jesse Duplantis.
ant to buy some French postcards?
Libertarianism my not itself be perverse, but it allows perversion to flourish, no society has ever survived it and neither will this one.
