“Know what libertarian young people like?”
Drugs
AKA left-wing libertarian. I don’t know how many times history has demonstrated that you cannot have real freedom without responsibility. If people cannot discipline themselves, then the police will do it for them. That is inevitable.
If people choose to be gay, let them do it off privately somewhere, not impose it on everyone down to kindergarteners.
If people want unlimited rights to abortion, let them . . . No, sorry, there is no right to kill or enslave people because they are convenient. And, contrary to what they say, it’s the same statist Democrats who supported slavery who now support baby killing and euthanasia of the old and inconvenient.
That’s not freedom. Or, if you like, it’s freedom for me, but not for thee.
Libertarianism by its intentions that are well documented, is not conservative...
It makes noises, and faces towards conservatism, but it is from the indications that it has its back into the political pundulum swing to the liberal side of that swing...
People call both sides of this political landscape as extremist, and uncompramising...
Well, I happen to believe Libertarianism is weak, much like tepid water that is neither refreshing, or desirable...
Just my opinion...
A libertarian would be an idiot to support gay marriage, because the disaster of such families will produce children raised as wards of the State.
With libertarian candidates we lose 2 to 4% of the vote against the socialist in addition to the percentage we lose to fraud. Now they appear to be working in conjunction with the democrats.
That is properly a State function of police powers.

Life will not be pleasant under the McAuliffe regime.
Libertarians have a built in self destructive bomb. They don’t believe in governement hence they believe inopen borders. They help turn this country into a third world society and the Dem’s buy off the new voters and we have a socialist country. Make sense? If you think this makes sense then go ahead and vote Libertarian.
The token libertarian on the Seattle Times said he almost voted for a self-proclaimed socialist for mayor because she represented an alternative to mainstream Seattle liberalism. But she almost won her race (and still might, after all votes are counted), so how far out of the Seattle mainstream was she? With “libertarians” voting for socialists, who needs liberals?
Fortunately, the Virginia legislature is still mostly conservative and the governor in Virginia isn’t very powerful.
Not only do we lose 2-4% but look at the people who were defeated by Libertarians. Namely Mia Love, Allen West, Vernon Parker, Jesse Kelly, Rehberg in Montana, Mourdock in Indiana. Some how it is only the real conservatives that seem to lose because of the Libertarians and their friends the Constitutionalists.
The main thing about libertarianism that appeals to me is its neo-isolationism, its reluctance to get America involved in foreign wars and nation-building.
libertopians are not for any kind of responsibility, they are for license not liberty.
Libertarians are like the NFLs “Mr. Irrelevant.
They get to be attention whores for one day.
They can’t win elections.
They think 95% of Republicans need to come to their 5%.
Then they go DramaQueen and prove they aren’t part of the conservative Republican coalition and assist Democrat Socialists.
Derek Hunter nailed it. You can tell from Rachel's overly emotional defensiveness and completely clueless definition of 'libertarianism' ...
Libertarianism is rebranding itself to be more inclusive. Now more than ever, it is accepting of LGBT people, encourages women to have a voice, and has different social media groups targeted to different minorities. Inclusivity is the best way for libertarianism to grow.
... that Hunter is directly over the target ....
'libertarianism lost its meaning' ping.
The libertopians will happily support the commies for legalized Soma, I mean drugs.
Seems today people that call themselves conservative are into conserving money and promoting war while American citizens play second fiddle to the world. Restore America, bring back the exported jobs and end role as world troop supplier.
