Is that our own Liberal Classic posting over there?
To: NC_Libertarian
I doubt anyone at DU is capable of SPELLING Libertarianism, let alone discussing it...

We should send some WOD type FReepers over to explain that liberals and libertarians are the same thing. :-)

If you lurk too long at DU, you'll either grow hair on your palms or go blind.

How do you justify calling Libertarians socially liberal while being anti-tax?To me, a large, large portion of being 'socially liberal' includes government 'pork' that helps the disenfranchised become equal.
!?

Considering this thread, this is an excellent chance to make it clear why this libertarian is far more comfortable with the right than left. It's a simple thing: Personal respect.
I have argued politics with both the left and right and consistently the right has shown more respect and less anger about our points of disagreement. I have found that most conservatives judge me by how I act; most left-wingers judge me by what I believe in.
I have received far more personal intolerance and hate from the left than I have from the right. For example, time and again, I have had left-wingers -- including some I had been friends with -- wish that my children would be shot, because of my pro-gun stand. I have never had any Christian conservative wish AIDS or homosexual rape on my children, because of my pro-gay beliefs.
This is really basic, folks. The Conservatives, including the Fundamentalist religious right, and I disagree on many issues; but I have almost always received respect and a decently fair hearing from them. I have rarely received such consideration from the left.
I hope someone passes this along to DU. They need to hear it.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems to be orderly, without the catcalls.

They don`t discuss anything on DU, they just repeat the party line. Bad old Repubs and everything is Bush`s fault. GAG.

Wow, they've got a pretty interesting thread going. Liberal Classic is doing a great job of breaking the libertarian philosophy into little digestible chunks for the confused liberal minds over there.
Here's one choice of bit of confusion I witnessed while I was over there. It's from post #20 and the guy who posted it claims to be an anarcho-socialist -- a true oxymoron. Here it is:
Anarchists and Left Libertarians are against capitalism, we feel there is no need to ban the market though.
Flabbergasting, isn't it.

Wow it is about time the drug addled found each other. Just gives validation to the addage "Misery loves company".

Libertarians are liberals who don't have the balls to admit it. I am sure their soulmates at DU are treating them like the brothers in arms that they are.

DU discusses libertarianism. Can even the DUmmies get it as wrong as Dane, Cultural Jihad, and the rest of the usual gang of propagandists here?

I don't know. It didn't look like he was doing very well over there .....

How can you stand even trying to follow that $Hi++y message board? It makes my brain hurt, and that's before I even find what they're trying to say.
If you can fight through it, you do learn why the LP gets less than 1%.

Yes, I post over there on occasion. I have been called a "private property absolutist" among other things. Oh, and a "stealth conservative." :P
