What is there to get? Libertarians are Anarchists who bathe.
Losertarians.
Libertarians are not Republicans.
I do not know why there is even a question about that.
If there was EVER was a “libertarian” cause to pledge your life, your fortune, your sacred honor for...at this late stage of the republic...that would be the fight against Obama/Totalitariancare.
crickets...
(groan) “Republican” is the name of a political party; “libertarian” is the name of a political ideology. Contrasting libertarians and “Republicans” is a nonsense argument, just like contrasting libertarians and “Democrats”, but what do you want from a college professor.
Why Republicans Just Don’t Get Conservatives-It has come to this.
Considering that Libertarians have no problem with abortion, I have a problem with them. I know, I know ... one song charley here ... not so, just the first of many problems I have with Libertarians.
Libertarians and Republicans are not the same thing, just as anarchists and Democrats are not the same thing. Many people have complex views that don’t fit neatly in boxes. Libertarians and Republicans often share goals that is enough.
Though not riddled with the usual strawman arguments posed by leftwing and conservative opponents to libertarianism, this article is pretty lightweight. For a serious article on the subject, Google “Why I Am Not a Conservative” by F.A. Hayek. Milton Friedman meant pretty much the same thing when he said, “I am libertarian with a small ‘l’ and Republican with a capital ‘R’. And I am a Republican with a capital ‘R’ on grounds of expediency, not on principle.”
http://www.freetalklive.com/ These people are so called liberation. Listen to their broadcasts and decide. I listen for an hour or so daily and view their protests of civil disobedience. They brag about not paying taxes and not registering cars. However, some info is worthy of notice.
Speaking for myself, I have Libertarian sympathies, even though I’m not a full-fledged Libertarian. I have no problem with having them in the party and winning elective office.
Libertarians leaders fight GOP more than they fight DEM
Oh noes ! The Koch Brothers !
I think many folks do not know what the word “libertarian” actually means. For example, I remember hearing Bill Maher saying he was a “libertarian voting for Ralph Nader.” OK, libertarians for big government socialism :?
I think Republicans get Libertarians just fine.
It’s upper-case L Libertarians, who don’t get that America is worth defending.
The LP is clueless about the real world.
Until that changes, Libertarians marginalize the entire concept of libertarianism.
Upper-case L Libertarians are to libertarianism, what RINOs are to the GOP:
The problem.
I’m more of an anarcho-libertarian or market-anarchist, but vote R for practical purposes.
Silly questions - it has nothing to do with Republicans (after all, RuPaul is a Republican, right? /s)
It’s that RP/Libertarians are NOT Conservative.
