Libertarians are usually people that want DRUGS and ABORTION!


I’ve noticed a lot of the “libertarians” I come across repeat Marxist dogma such as “from each according to their ability; to each according to their need.” They get pissed off when you point out they’re really closet Marxists.

Most libertarians I've personally met appeared to be on drugs, and wanted to see basically all laws ended, some to the point of being outright anarchists. That's simply my own anecdotal experience of course, but it has been consistent.

“So who’s lying, Mike Lee or Matt Drudge? O would suspect the Drudge Team is lying. Mike Lee rarely gets this excited about anything. It may simply be a matter of focus and perspective”

MSM is reporting that Trump was booed loudly and sworn at.

Watching the videos of the speech on YouTube and X, I have come to a different conclusion about how Trump was received then Sen. Lee has.

They SAY they want laws ended and they scream for abolishing law enforcement. Yet oddly they’re obviously financed and organized by someone who gives them direction and orders (the opposite of “anarchy”).

Take a good look at the “antifa” anarchists. Yes, they’re drug addled idiots and have no grasp of personal responsibility and accountability. They’re Marxist idiots.

I think Matt Drudge sold The Drudge Report several years ago.

Matt sold his blog sometime after 2016. He is no longer in control.

Watched the whole speech. Thought DJT did very well. The crowd was indeed unruly, and mixed, but he knew that going in and said as much. He was at various times cheered, and booed, but he never let the boos get under his skin, or take him off course. He even laughed a few times and said, essentially - it’s ok, you want to keep eeking out your 3% every election, fine - but I want to win, and if YOU want to win, we can do it together if you will help me.

It was definitely worth 39 minutes of my time to watch, and I think it was really, one of his best speeches, since he knew he had to convince them, so he gave them a LOT to think about, and my prayer is that many others will watch the WHOLE speech, and come away thinking also.

I watched the Drudge snippet. His comment that “The Don Loses Control” is simply...ahem...not true. He kept his cool.

That is the composure that he needs to maintain in his debates with Biden. His first debate with Biden four years ago in which he appeared unhinged was an absolute disaster for him and probably turned off too many voters.

Keep his cool. Stick to the issues. Stick to the facts. He will do fine. The way that he handled himself yesterday was very good. Drudge is a li.. a lia...Drudge didn’t get his facts right.

Modern libertarians shame the name libertarian.
They are about license not Liberty. The reject or have no clue of Madison’s concept of “ ordered Liberty”.

Trump should challenge Biden to go speak at the same venue to see how he’s received.

I noticed the mainstream media is making much the same claims as Drudge. Its been a long time since Drudge was the alternative to liberal corporate media.

Most libertarians I have ever met were liberals who wanted to be thought of as independent thinkers.

I’ve always thought libertarians cannot give anyone a solid answer or argument.

As for Lee, for this Conservative talk he’s spitting out, he was hell bent more H1B visas for the tech companies in Utah

So who’s lying, Mike Lee or Matt Drudge?

I think, if Drudge was right, there’d be plenty of video and the MSM would be doing stories about it.

Mega Dittos.

I am libertarian and favor “free markets and free minds”. But freedom cannot prosper without the rule of law and state administered justice.

The dividing line is are you willing to use government force of arms to compel others to do your biding?

I am against drug and alcohol use. But I would never ask an armed government agent to prevent some else for using them which means I see no point in having laws that make them illegal. On the other had if you harm some while high you should still face a full measure of justice. Also, as an employer I should be free to reject you for drug use and en if it’s legal.

“The dividing line is are you willing to use government force of arms to compel others to do your biding?”

That’s the problem with libertarians. They see laws in a childish view. Laws are not MY bidding, they are OUR bidding, yours included.

They also conflate private property rights with no responsibilities in exercising those rights. Example, drunk driving laws when no one is injured. Problem is the risks posed by drunk driving. You can’t take back a life lost, but libertarians will claim there shouldn’t be laws involving risks. Funny thing though, if I flew my airplane feet from their roof or fired my gun in my backyard near their house they would scream about risks.

I was a registered libertarian for several decades, but in protest to republicans being either heavy handed or being too corrupt to be useful. In all my political travels, I found libertarians the most childish in not respecting reality; just a bunch of wishful thinking.
