“We need some of both”
I agree. Boiled down to their simplest terms I see them like this...
Conservatism—”If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.
Libertarianism—”Mind your own business”.
Since I agree with both of those, I consider myself both.
To get to the weed. :-)
I’m certainly not going to slap libertarians for reaching out. I’d rather negotiate an acceptable compromise for both.
Stealth liberals are something, I don’t know who you think you are fooling, real conservatives - not the RINO’s - know what you are all about, very little different from Obama’s agenda, you want once Christian America to be remade in your image, an antichrist atheist type country.
A “Because someone else told him ~NOT~ to do it!”
hahahahahahahahaha......ahhh...hehehe
I appreciate the humor and I notice that the general tone towards Libertarians on FR has softened somewhat. That’s a good thing in my view. Not because I agree with libertarianism: I often don’t, but because the enemy of my enemies can be my friend.
I also think that if conservatives and libertarians are not able to change the current trajectory of things, we will have plenty of time to discuss the relative merits of each political philosophy at length over our daily rations of soylent red in the gulags.
George Wallace got a lot of things wrong. But one thing he really got wrong was in saying there wasn’t a dimes worth of difference between the gop and the ‘rats.
He was off by 9 cents.
Not exactly. The Founders were not even vaguely libertarian, by modern standards. We think they are because they established a federal government with limited powers.
This was not because they wanted government to leave the people alone, as much as because they wanted the state governments rather than the federal governments to control the people.
Originally, the Bill of Rights did not apply to state action and were violated routinely by the states. The Constitution put remarkably few limitations on what the states could legislate with regard to "domestic affairs."
There isn’t a dimes worth of difference between libertarians and the rats. Since they choose the Republicans to infiltrate, they must see them as easier to deceive than the rats. This is true of only the RINO’s.
” you want once Christian America to be remade in your image, an antichrist atheist type country.”
That is complete, utter BS.
Libertarians are all about letting people do what they feel is right, as long as they don’t infringe unduly on others. You know, “freedom”, including “freedom of religion”.
Too many so-called conservatives have become statist control freaks.
The graphic spelt Losertarian wrong.
Why did the libertarian chicken cross the road?
Like because the corn was across the road and
all that weed made me hungry?
Probably get pulled,,,, thats okay. Sorry!
The d—k or the chicken?
Example, please? I don't have any idea what you're talking about.
"So called" conservatives, eh? A conservative seeks to preserve the concepts this country was founded on. Not a one of the founders would support your libertarian sodomizing of America. The founders weren't a bunch of sissy long haired pot smoking queers.
"Statist control freaks?" You are no more against socialism than Christian conservatives. Libertarians accuse Christian conservatives, because we are against the moral destruction of America they assume we want a theocracy. Not so, all we want is the conservation/preservation of Christian values - which doesn't meant a thing to you as a libertarian.
