The left has found the ultimate way to work around our right to free speech: Get privately owned companies to violate it, and then giggle as we find no recourse.
Okay, she’s a whackjob.
Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Praises Company For Firing Woman Who Posted All Lives Matter on Facebook, Burn Loot Mayhem Communists Cheer.
Libertarians Give Whole-Hearted Support to Communists and Terrorists.
The Libertarians started losing what Conservatism they had when their “Liberal” libertarian sense led them into support of abortion, open borders and a “utopian” form of Libertarian thinking that ignores that Libertarian ideas cannot exist in a political vacuum and requires a limited government framework with strong support for the rule of law, not men. Minus the last part, Libertarian ideas can only be applied where all the land is owned by Libertarians or in anarchy. They have made their prospects of being a major party impossible.
“Libertarian” is a bastardized term.
Just like the marxist candidate Joe Biden supports BLM terrorists and their activities - type of thing but I'm sure the president would add some zing.
"Should." Do you really believe that's how it works?
Just a reminder of whom Liberal-tarians actually are. They are basically Democrats who are too ashamed to say they are Democrats. Many here complain that a Liberal-tarian took votes from a Republican and cause the GOPer to lose a close race- bull feathers! The truth is without the Liberaltarian the Democrat would have won be a bigger margin in most cases. They believe in very little that intersects with conservatism. And don’t tell me anything the right to be lift alone. That is a basic right all thinking people have, even some Democrats when they want to kill babies.
There are Libertarians who are obsessed with one particular leaf on one tree and they don’t even know there is a forest. The Libertarian Party specializes in this.
They're open borders. Pro abortion. Pro homosexuality. Pro illicit narcotics. They're a despicable group.
Yet, they're allowed on FR. Go figure.
Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen praised a company for firing an employee who had posted all lives matter on her private Facebook page as an example of the free market standing up against systemic racism.
Anarocho-communists and anarchists are not the same thing.
Anarcho-communists believe that you must destroy everything to usher in communism. That seems to be exactly what antifa and BLM are doing. They have a good PR system in place that has convinced many it’s about black lives but it’s only about the destruction of the US and its way of life so they can implement communism.
“They’re open borders. Pro abortion.”
I call BS. Name three such FReepers.
That doesn’t sound very libertarian to me.
I’m changing my mind on all lives matter. Those monstrous rioters’ don’t, imo.
You said “libertarians” are “liberals”.
In the classic definition of liberal, they are.
Our founders were “liberals”.
Actually it was owned and run by National City Lines. I haven't found out if it was contracted by the city to run or allowed a franchise by the city (like a city paying a cable company to provide TV to all its residents vs. allowing a cable company, maybe exclusively, to run wires and sell to residents).
From a strictly libertarian sense I can see her argument: it should not be a matter of law who a company hires or fires and without an explicit contract the company can fire you at any time for any reason. Similarly if I hire some people to mow my yard every week but later on find out they are the local branch of the KKK then I can fire them - unless I had a contract to pay them for the entire year. However from a strictly libertarian argument, you could hire and fire based on race, sex, age or anything else. Only the government would have to provide all services equally.
Would this candidate say that companies should be allowed to fire anyone who attends one of these Black Lives Matter® "peaceful protests"? That might answer if she is a closet liberal or a strict libertarian.
Concur.
The large L libertarians have zero to do with libertarianism.
No. But it SHOULD.
Sometimes I think we just have to start pressing the issue. They sure dont shirk at it.
