Glenn Beck tonight: "I contend that most people are libertarian"
02/26/2010

Posted on 02/26/2010 2:51:42 PM PST by Brugmansian

Beck just said he thinks "I contend that most Americans are libertarians because they want that freedom . . ."

So why don't they vote that way Glenn? Why do we have abortion laws? Why aren't drugs legal? Why do voters reject gay marriage? Why do we have laws regulating banks? Why has every proposal to privatize Social Security much less abolish it been rejected? Why do we have "entangling" foreign relationships? Why do we have trade and immigration laws?

Glenn never said that Republicans suck. Moderate RINO's playing part time Democrat by saying, "we want the same thing as the Dems, only not as much" are the ones who "suck" according to Glenn.

If that is all you got out of anything he's said, you are getting the cliff notes from somewhere.

RE: So why are some Republicans passing idiotic laws like vitamin control?

I am a conservative not a Republican. You evidently lack the mental maturity to understand the difference. Name one conservative supporting regulating vitamins, dipstick.

So wait...you’re saying that without drug laws, black and brown people would all be walking around high and scaring us?

That sounds pretty racist.

I lack the maturity? You are the one that waded in with the name calling.

If you are a conservative, then you aren't one of the problem children in the GOP that Glenn has been calling out.

If the word "libertarian" frightens you so much, maybe you've got bigger issues.

I agree with you. He’s read a few books and now imagines himself to be an expert on political philosophy. And the constant attacks on Republicans as Democrat clones is getting really old. Who stood up to Obama at the summit? Members of the Libertarian Party? Who’s voting against the Democrats nutty proposals over and over again? Libertarians? No, they’re Republicans.

I agree with Mark Levin. We should be supporting these brave Republicans, not shooting them in the back. I’m sick of Beck.

#109:Dead Corpse (or whatever profile name you are using today): "Exactly who is the "tard" again?"

RE: If the word "libertarian" frightens you so much, maybe you've got bigger issues.

I served over twenty years in the military. Libtardtarians and their sisters the libtards don't frighten me. But both of you pushing up the cost of aluminum foil pisses me off.

Glen thinks there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats

I don't think so.

His attacks on republicans are the same attacks on republicans that are part of the FR philosophy. Expansion of governement, raising taxes, expanding welfare, increasing debt. True?

Exactly!

Libertarian is like a Rohrschach test..You can project whatever you want onto the “label.”

having said that....it is too simplistic to define Libertarians as anarchists, or liberals and too restrictive to define the “freedom, individualism, “leave me alone government” aspects of the conservative as “not libertarian”.

after awhile, the “labels” lose sight of what we value. Conservatives and small L libertarians have many things in common way more than Dems or Progressives.

He says it all the time. That’s the reason I stop watch him. Rush and Levin have been giving him hell about it lately. Where have you been?

libtardtarians from your first post on this thread.

You even screwed up the usual pejorative.

I did six in the Marines. What exactly does that have to do with anything?

You've been here only a year less than I have. Haven't you learned anything yet?

Yes, the LP as a political party are nuttier than a football bat. The rest of us, libertarians, are right here. Where we've always been. People like me stump for more folks like Palin and Beck to come along and snap you idiots out of your RINO heat haze before you turn into Democrats for real.

Like I said, keep your teeth together before you make yourself look like even more of a jackass.

No doubt a response to the criticism related to the “Republicans suck” theme.

Post #102.

So yeah... You did.

He's a "l"ibertarian.

Read one of his books. He's more conservative than you are giving him credit for.

Really? Who’s been propagating the theme I referred to?

Like I said in that same post #102, context matters.

His support of Ron Paul who believes we were attacked because we are “Imperial America” and occupiers.
He also calls it blowback.

Beck find more at fault with 90% Conservative Republicans than the IslamOfascists who attacked us and declaued war on America
