Liberaltarians use the same old tired methods of promoting their sick agenda: extremism.
They are totally unable to cite wide-scale abuses of rights, although that doesn't prevent them from claiming that the sky is falling.

"Sick agenda"?

REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS POSITION STATEMENT

As is typical of libertarians, it is tpaine's intent to bait and instigate personal attacks against the founder of this forum. They do so in an effort to squash legitimate debate on issues. It is interesting to note that libertarian extremists are the ones most likely to challenge the forum founder's right to moderate the content of this forum as he sees fit, generating a constant flow of "vanities" whining about censorship.


As is typical, willie, you jump to ludicrous conclusions. -- I endorse the RLC positions, as
you well know from reading that thread.

-- A2J was calling libertarian positions a 'sick agenda'.
- I posted the RLC positions, endorsed by JR, as a counter to his slur.

- Getta life willie. Libertarians are not evil. Your attempts to tar them, and me, with weird attacks like the above are getting really bizarre.

Precisely. Your post has been recognized as a feeble attempt on your part to usurp JR's authority as founder of this forum to support your own agenda. IMHO, JR's authority on this forum is not an issue open to debate. His authority is absolute, and rightly so. This is his forum and he has the absolute right and authority to moderate content of forum discussion in any manner he sees fit. If he should awake tomorrow and decide he wants to change and limit the mission of FreeRepublic to the care and maintenance of saltwater aquaria and exotic fish, it is his right to do so. (I doubt that he'd do such a thing, and it'd make an awful lot of FReepers extremely unhappy, but I don't question his right to do so if he chooses.)

This is illustrative of the "narcissistic irresponsibility" I referred to earlier. Libertarians typically lack the self-restraint to respectfully concede to our host the authority that is rightly his. Furthermore, his opinions ARE NOT YOURS to be cavalierly brandished as a magic potion to ward off political criticism of libertarian philosophy. JR is not shy in expressing his own opinion as he sees fit. You should respect his right to do so rather than attempting to employ his authority as your own.
