Enough Fighting: Time for Libertarians and Conservatives to Unite [retread zot]

Raging Against The Rhetoric ^ | 03-18-2015 | Jackie Wellfonder

[Kaled]

Conservatives often find themselves at odds with the libertarian crowd. However, is that anger really warranted?

As President Reagan once said, “If you analyze it, I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.”

True conservatives and libertarians, let’s not pretend there aren’t fakers on both side, all agree on the fundamentals: limited government, personal responsibility, and economic freedom. Neither group wants the government interfering in our daily lives and telling us what we can and cannot do. Now there may be slight disagreements on how that plays out in the policy arena, but we should not allow that to stop us from working together.

Our primary focus needs to be on reigning in spending, and returning power to the states where it belongs. The government has overreached time after time with blatant disregard for the boundaries set forth in the constitution. It’s time for conservatives and libertarians to put aside our differences, and work together.

As Morton Blackwell, President of the Leadership Institute, says, “You owe it to your philosophy to study how to win. You have a moral obligation to learn how to win.”

When are we going to realize that what we are doing isn’t working? We are going to keep losing elections until we get this right, and America will pay the price.

IOW, you're a diehard supporter of Ron Rand Paul.

The headline has been retro-fitted. Troll is feeling the electricity as I FReep. To be a smoking ash in 5, 4, 3....

/bingo!

By definition “vice” (as opposed to “crime”) should not be outlawed.

That is such an adolescent comment. Are you still living in your momma's house?

[mrsmel]

Exactly. We can see the truth of this, because when it comes to an immorality such as abortion (murder of the unborn), they either believe that states should decide if it’s OK, or that it’s a woman’s right to choose to murder her unborn child. They’re not so “laissez faire” when it comes to legislating that immorality, they usually fall on the side of having it be legal. I wonder where they would have stood on the issue of slavery?

I thought the headlines were supposed to match the source headline.

/bingo!

BTW, that won’t ever happen, because they are actually Democrats, and devoted to the rise of the single party state, which requires the destruction of all others.

[Responsibility2nd]

lolol

Wut ZOT you say?

(Feeling the electricity yet?)

[wagglebee]

So which is the moral cesspool -- the US where the law says "drive on the right" or the UK where the law says "drive on the left"?

Neither dumbass.

In a moral society, traffic is regulated to promote safety. Whether people drive on the right side of the street or the left is irrelevant, the important thing is regulating which side they drive on.

Go back to your libtard friends and let them know that the driving argument failed.

[itsahoot]

Paul is weak on issues like abortion, gay marriage, and social conservatism in general.

Exact same position that Goldwater held, it was a loser then and would be again.

Runt Paul for President! Woo! Woo!

You are an idiot.

Outlawing a vice MAKES it a crime.

Your time on FR is rapidly coming to an end, so you should use it wisely and not comment on matters that you will never understand.

[DJ MacWoW]

Zot bait! :-)

[Leep]

Whats the issue? Vote for a Cruz or have another Obama for President.

[ansel12]

Goldwater wasn’t any of those when he ran for president, they were not his positions as a candidate or office holder.

[Lazamataz]

Backtrack to see my exchange with this Kaled troll. I set him up, he took the bait, and then I sprung the trap.

Note the subtlety I used, by not posting the bait comment directly to him.

I can out-troll trolls, every single time.

[Responsibility2nd]

He's a troll. He knows it. But at least he has (had) a sense of humor...

Meanwhile we have turned Grover Norquist into a demigod because he's agin taxes more'n the rest of us. Supposedly.

Nope, because of his Muslim Brotherhood connections.

Kaled, your chief problem is that you aren’t very intelligent. We at FR have a cutoff I.Q. of 86, so I fear you have not met our minimum standards.

Buh bye.

[SZonian]

See this and then the replies at #55 & #57...post #75 is of interest as well.
