Libertarian Org on ‘American Sniper': No Difference Between Chris Kyle, Adam Lanza
breitbart.com ^ | 1/29/2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 01/30/2015 9:32:56 AM PST by rktman

On January 28, The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) vice president, Sheldon Richman, reacted to American Sniper by writing that Chris Kyle “was no hero” and that he really couldn’t see a difference between Kyle’s actions and those of Adam Lanza.

Richman, who is also the editor of FFS’s monthly journal Future of Freedom, wrote, “Despite what some people think, hero is not a synonym for competent government-hired killer.”

I did actually go to a libertarian meeting one time, but the group was completely focused on one subject... legalizing marijuana. Then they wasted their money sending me literature for years.

"What is the difference between sniping an enemy combatant and shooting them in open battle?"

Often nothing. The majority of the shots Kyle took were 200 to 400 yards - not the 1000 yard shots we usually associate with the term "sniper" (although Kyle made his share of those too). A 200-400 yard shot is very typical of the shots taken by skilled rifelman in open battle and certain don't require anything more good, properly adjusted, iron sights. I have known several ex Nan era military vets who could shoot accurately at 500 yards with an M1 or Remington 700 using nothing but iron aperture sights.

If Jesse Vent’ura got even one cent in settlement from Kyle’s widow, that would be a travesty worthy of national attention.

It stays “libertarian org” but I see the editorial is found at the Foundation for Future Freedom, FFF.

Of course, I don’t agree with his premises.

When people like this writer blow their nose, deep brown stuff comes out. Fresh from its source higher up in their body.

“It’s been said that Ron Paul and his ilk are 80% common-sense, limited-government, Constitution-loving Americans. The remaining 20% is bat-shit crazy.”

A turd floating in the punch bowl may be less than 20% of the contents, Libtardians should all be forced to drink a big glass of that!

Libtardians are all the same, toxic little pukes pretending to be conservative.

I was watching a show on AHC last night that was talking about the M1 Garand that said 400 yard head shots were common among skilled infantrymen.

Bingo. Don’t attack the whacked out liberals, use those words against all the other liberals.

It is kind of fun to imagine using a pseudonym that would be difficult to trace, and going on some of their forums to help egg them on. Help them to become even more delusional by letting them believe that lots of people love what they are saying. This would be a little of their own medicine, the type of stunt that they pull on everyone else.

The party is where the fantasies and theory has to be put into reality and into actual political language and policy.

Pretty much sums up adherents to the platform of the Libertarian party.

An aging hippie with a "peace" symbol around his neck.

Hmmmm ....

Seems to me "we" could make a little symbol based on this:

With all these articles lately, it’s becoming abundantly clear that the current libertarian movement is filled with nothing but radical leftists. I’ve though a freedom-promoting conservative/libertarian candidate could win their votes, but they have a lot more in common with the radical left than a Reaganeque liberty-based conservative movement.

plenty of libtards right here on FR...most of them destroy decent candidates and vote third party so their rat friends can get in...

honestly, their arguments must be destroyed for the rat ploys that they are....

is Chris Kyl wasn't a hero, than neither was the guy who landed the plane on the Hudson....
