The very first bit of anti-libertarian humor I ever posted was this clever video about the anarcho-capitalist paradise of Somalia.
I then shared two cartoons, one on libertarian ice fishing and the other showinglibertarian lifeguards.
That was followed by a very funny list of the 24 types of libertarians.
But I haven’t shared anything making fun of people like me since this “think I do” montage last year.
Thanks to Buzzfeed, however, we now have something new for our collection. They came up with “23 Libertarian Problems” and here are two of my favorites from the list.

Looks to me like the GOP has been turned into part of the DNC without the libertarians having much to do with it. The “conservative economics” don’t appear to be represented anywhere. Romney as libertarian is absurd. He has never identified as such, and is not embraced in any way by libertarians of any party.
So long as liberaltarians insist on promoting gay marriage, abortion, free dope and state supported condoms, they will never be of any assistance to conservatives in any way shape or form.
I fully understand your frustration with libertarians. Conservatives are getting their asses kicked by liberals when it comes to social issues, and it’s easier to find a scapegoat in libertians than to face this larger more difficult fact.
Right, so your solution is to adopt liberal positions on social issues.
Free dope, free condoms, gay marriage, and abortion?
The only reason a young person is going to look into libertarianism is because he finds liberalism unsatisfying. Otherwise, he’d just go with the flow of everything he’s been taught in school and the culture. That person is going to be exposed to ideas that government is not always the solution, and is often the problem. That person is going to be far more likely to vote on the conservative side than the liberal side, particularly as he ages.
I haven’t heard any libertarians saying anything other than that they would have to pay for their own dope and condoms. Is there something specific to which you allude? I would be most interested to see that, and comment on it.
I’m mixed on the drugs issue but am trending towards William F. Buckley’s position. The rest I reject, just like most of the libertarians around here who you guys endlessly annoy with your silly malformed BS.
No, as your post reveals with your gloating, libertarians are part of the left’s war against God, America, and conservatism.
You are part of the left’s penetration into the right, you promote their agenda with a new vocabulary.
We still get gay marriage and abortion, but your branch of the left uses a different language, and it has taken a while to see how effective you have been with your rinos as they see the brilliance and adopt libertarianism.
You missed actually attending.
The tea parties covered economic, social, and national security issues.
There was no uniform nationwide platform - its a movement not a party.
With that in mind, none of the open borders, pro abortion, pro prostitution, sleep with any kid whose pants you can get into crap was flying most places. You want legalized licenciousness you may as well go over to the side bright enough to understand that a welfare state and criminalizing Christianity are necessary components of making that fly.
Revisionism is best practiced after the people who were there have passed on.
Yes you have, that they also would have to pay for their own partial birth abortions, for their own gay marriages, for their own gay adoptions and bus rides to the military enlistment depot, and to take a taxi across the border when the Border Patrol and INS have been shut down.
LOL — you are too much, ansel12.
But I have to go put a clutch in my car so the last word is yours.
“I’m mixed on the drugs issue”
Ask yourself, “would I want my son, wife, daughters, granddaughters and grandsons using?”
If the answer is no, then why do you support it for other families?
The libertarian position is the same for drugs as it is for abortion, ZERO interference, not just Crack and Heroin, but all drugs, and anything that stoner laboratories and doper scientists can come up with in the future.
Libers also support full advertising and marketing of the crack and heroin and future concoctions and combinations.
“I haven’t heard any libertarians saying anything other than that they would have to pay for their own dope and condoms. Is there something specific to which you allude? I would be most interested to see that, and comment on it.”
They’ve opposed the Catholic church, and believe that the Catholic church ought to be forced to pay for condoms and obamacare.
As for dope - they believe in legalization, with the concamitant support for ‘medicinal’ as paid for, also by Obamacare, etc. Basically, you’ll be paying as John Q Taxpayer for ‘medicinal dope’ that they can pick up in a dispensary and trip out.
But that of course is a libertarian position because handing out dope, condoms and pipes is less expensive than police officers.
The guy whose pic we find at the top of this thread is Ronald Reagan. He said: “If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.”
If you totally dismiss libertarianism, then you totally dismiss Ronald Reagan.
I figure those who fear libertarianism, equally fear freedom. Often they are mere Posers pretending to be conservatives.
What else could explain their fear? Since libertarianism is likely the most dangerous threat to progressive liberals we have.
I don’t want anyone using drugs. But I also think the WOD is real mixed bag, especially when it comes to marijuana.
That’s all I have time to say. Gotta go do some car work.
Just as this thread and many threads on freerepublic proves, libertarians are the commandos of the left, by using a vocabulary that mimics conservatism, they actually defend and promote the left's social agenda among conservatives.
The only place that you can find freepers expressing pro-homosexual support and open borders support, and even pro-choice views, is on the libertarian threads.
Romney was late to discover the usefulness of libertarianism to explain his liberalism, and by the time he did, he was having to deal with a conservative base and try to convince them that he wasn't actually pro-abortion and pro-homosexual agenda, but he did learn to use the libertarian talk to protect himself on decisions that he made as governor.
Which is more than enough punishment for anyone.
“Social conservatives are killing this country just as fast as the leftists.”
And this, FRiends, is your brain on libertarianism.
As I said, libertarians hate social conservatives more than they hate statists. They will eagerly promote the statist agenda so long as they get their free dope and free condoms.
Good luck with this argument, btw!
“I don’t want anyone using drugs.”
Why not?
