The Libertarian Downfall: Conspiracy Theories
The Provocateur ^ | 06/27/2009 | Mike Volpe

Posted on 06/27/2009 6:51:39 PM PDT by fiscon1

Did you hear the one about how the Federal Reserve controls the world? In fact, the Federal Reserve chairman is merely a puppet. They are always controlled by a super secret group of power players. No one, of course, knows exactly who they are because no one knows exactly who actually owns the Federal Reserve. In fact, the president is also merely a puppet. It is this super secret group of power players that ultimately puppeteer the world. It's all part of their goals to create a one world government and ultimately control that government. Furthermore, this is no new plan. This has been going on since the early nineteen hundreds. Way back then, John Rockefeller was quoted as saying that we are all moving toward a one world government and it was important that the right folks would control it. In fact, the North American Union is just such an avenue. Here's how libertarian Ron Paul characterizes it.

Yawn. Another blithering idiot who doesn't know crap about Libertarianism attempts to define it using the beliefs of a single adherent.

The word is "strawman".

I mean one needn't go beyond the excerpt you posted to see that the author is either ill informed to the point of painful embarrasment, or he's deliberately lying about Libertarians.

If it's my first guess he's an idiot.

If it's my second guess he's a liar.

Either way he's no one who's opinion is of the slightest import at all other than as a demonstration of what not to do when attempting to criticize libertarianism.

really, so you’re saying that libertarians aren’t full of conspiracy theories. I guess then I must have met the wrong ones because all the ones I met, and there were plenty at the tea parties, were spinning all sorts of yarns.

If it walks like a duck and flies like a duck...it’s probably a black helicopter.

I’m confused. Do all of you think that libertarians don’t believe that the Fed is secretly controlled by a super secret group of power brokers, or do you think this isn’t a conspiracy theory?

Libertarians must be getting to close to the truth; so his widdle mind has to grasp it anyway it can.

That’s interesting, because I always thought Ron Paul was a Republican. Oh, wait, he is a Republican, not a Libertarian.

Even so, I’ll take him over the nanny state loving RINOs any day. If he would grow a pair in foreign policy, I’d vote for him.

Volpe is a vacuous nincompoop.
Libertarians believe in honesty, integrity, and accountability...they must be crazy.

Get with the program, you square Libertarians!

Furst, before he ran for prez as a Republican, he ran for prez as a libertarian. Second, in this case, libertarian is the philosophy not necessarily the party.

So, in other words, you all think that these aren’t merely conspiracy theories but the truth.

I don’t think that’s what the article said at all. The philosophy is fine, but making everything a conspiracy theory is a huge problem.

All you have to do is read L Ron Paul’s own words and what he supports.

Congress voted to condemn Ahmadinejad for his anti American speech at the UN and Columbia a few yrs. back.
L Ron Paul voted against condemning the Terrorist Ahmadinejad.

Congress Voted in support of the Iranians in the streets wating freedom, L Ron Paul voted against the Iranians and their freedom.

L Ron Paul 6 April Denounced American and others in reaction to North Korean Rocket Launch. L Ron Paul believes North Korea poses no threat.

L Ron Paul blames American interventionism in the Middle East for out problems with them and why the attacks of
Sept. 11. Paul called it blowback.

Paul said “they attack us because we’ve been over there”
In other world L Ron Paul thinks we deserved 9/11
These are the same comments of Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and the rest of the Left wing.

Paul voted No on Constitutional Amend banning same sex marriage Sept. 2004
Paul voted No on Constitutionally defining marriage asone man one woman July 2006

Opposes the death penality Jan 2007

Paul voted No on allowing school payer during the War on Terror Nov 2001.

The Libertarians and other third party loons are no beter and worse.

Wow. You catch on quick.

I guess then I must have met the wrong ones...

If your taste in tea parties is no better than your taste in writers that is not the least bit surprising.

wow, your “in other words” can encompass quite a bit. So I suppose I can call you a big government loving RINO about now? No, I’ll just think that perhaps we disagree on the value of libertarians and Libertarians to the movement. I think Reagan, Buckley and Goldwater would probably be on my side, but I digress. Oh, let’s digress a little more: Friedman, Hayek, Sowell, Posner,Epstein, etc... Yes, Paul ran as a Libertarian over 20 years ago. Not sure Paul really speaks for all.

At one of the Tea Parties I attended, the Paulites were handing out papers re their showing a 9/11 Truther film.
