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.

Where is that huge segment of libertarians who don’t support this?
“”Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws.””
Where are all those social conservative libertarians hiding, and why would they be calling themselves libertarians if they are actually conservatives?
There is no game, just revealing the libertarian agenda.
Like many libers, you want to reveal your inner fantasies and hair splitting, while avoiding the reality of the liber agenda in it’s war against conservatism.
For instance libers support this in the arena of politics, and in time they and their fellow lefties get it in law, “”Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws.””
When the absolute is not killing human beings, it is good to be an absolutist.
The mental and moral incapacity to grasp that is the base point which keeps todays libertarians from comprehending why no amount of persistence or change of phrasing gains them any traction with conservatives.
What a silly post, read what you were replying to, again.
Gay marriage is way down on the list of agendas for libertarians. There are more pressing issues and if you can’t see that there is no hope for you.
So what you’re saying is the 6 million evamgelicals who voted fpr Obsma swung the election in his favor....
Post 113 wasn’t a conspiracy theory.
What do you think that you witness on this thread? Libertarians who are either members of, or supporters of the GOP who want to destroy the social conservative portion of it.
Rinos and libertarians are becoming an increasing problem as they continue to isolate and cut off conservative, traditional, Americans, this has been taking place for decades.
Actually. He keeps backing his position up with quotes and links to published articles.
Of the two of you , ansel12 is far more reasoned.
On the contrary. I did vote.
For the Conservative party candidate.
Others whom I had enlightened as to Romney’s involvement in the now successful campaign to give gays access to the boy scouts and his executive order instituting gay marriage in Massachusetts and the whole Romneycare thing and his Planned Parenthood fundraising did sit this one out.
Evangelicals who are committed to their faith were never going to knowingly vote for someone pushing those issues. Period.
Water is wet.
The liberal social agenda can not exist with Biblical Christianity.
Did you read that part too?
Maybe the folks I know aren't your "typical" Libertarians. They don't support any of what you mentioned. Maybe they're more conservative than "libertarian", but they sure as hell don't call themselves republicans anymore. They're sick of the gutless, spineless GOP that won't stand up to the dems - they despise the communist/socialist Democrats.
The people I'm referring to all combat veterans with years of experience overseas. And when they speak, I listen; their words carry a hell of a lot more weight than what comes out of the mouths of most people.
Maybe we have a different view of what "libertarian" means - much the same way as being a "liberal" in Thomas Jefferson's view of the word is vastly different than what it means now.
Why did 21% of evangelicals vote for Obama?
You are not at DU trying to persuade liberals to move right and support conservative economics, you are at freerepublic trying to persuade conservatives to move left, and embrace social liberalism.
The agenda of libers to destroy social conservatism nationally and in law, leads to a culture that breeds and creates more voters for the left in vast numbers.
It is the sweeping away of civilization and American conservatism with the libertarian social agenda that creates an endless wave of many MILLIONS of new, always more, permanent big government voters.
I have learned many things in this thread, such as
Mitt Romney is a libertarian.
John McCain is a libertarian. I assume Lindsey Graham is too.
Rand Paul is a Libertarian.
Libertarians support Obamacare.
Libertarians believe that government should provide drugs and condoms.
Reagan didn’t mean what he said about libertarianism being the heart and soul of conservatism. Libertarianism played no role at all in Reagan’s ideological makeup.
Libertarians are commandos of the Left.
There is something called “conservative economics” that exists apart from libertarianism, classical liberalism, Austrian and Chicago Schools, or I suppose even Monatarism.
Only “conservative economics” has looked into the economic consequences of the breakdown of the family, and “conservative economics” apparently does not go beyond this particular line of study.
Libertarianism is needed to help young people embrace liberalism, and vote Democrat.
Basically you just don’t have anything to say in regards to actual libertarians and libertarianism.
You just want to tell us your perception of your personal life and friends, that isn’t very useful on a political forum.
You have your opinion sport, so do I. Like everybody else out here.
Have a great day.
Deluding yourself and working so hard to play dishonest games even with yourself explains how you keep yourself thinking the things you do.
The least Obama voting group in America, that makes you hostile towards them?
Do you want to see how atheists vote, the numbers are pretty much reversed.
You like that? Really want to diss the most conservative voters in America?
I’m here to discuss what libertarianism is, is not, how and why it was fused with traditionism, and how those things play out in our contemporary politics. I enjoy that sort of discussion.
I believe ‘marriage’ is as old and defined as the Biblical accounts such as marriage in Canaan. If like sexes want to join in a life union, let such be exactly that, a ‘union’. However. realizing the propensity for homosexuals to legitimize their relationships by absconding with all persons vocabulary such as gay, the traditional vocabulary must be corrupted to give homosexuals a fix with tradition.
Also I do not agree with your take on legalizing marijuana. Though a comparison can be made between tobacco and marijuana there is history to show that marijuana is a much more destructive societal problem than tobacco with all the unsavory foreign participants involved. I know the societal costs of tobacco are huge being a long ago smoker but I believe the societal costs of marijuana use are yet to be accounted.
