Poll about Libertarians

obviously not, dont be a tard about it.

the point is that sometimes we look back on a group of people in history and ask...what the hell were they thinking?

thanks for the pin

Here's some :BlueMeth:

:they call me:

I voted good guys. but i know better. they still work for the corporations.

Please explain this statement.

I voted "Good guys", but I consider myself a libertarian with morals.

That much we can totally agree on.
Many things in history make you go

...but comparing gay marriage to Hitler is truly apples and oranges.

i dont work for any corporations.

well, technically i do but not in a political way.

would you mind expanding on that thought?

that was the only comparison i was trying to make.

Apples and oranges....or

Dictators and dictasters.

comedy gold!!!!

LOLOLOLOL

If you say maximum freedom for people, then you have to remember that corporations are given some of the same rights and limitations of people. If we lift regulations for people, in the attempt to make them more "free", then we must also lift certain, maybe not all, regulations for businesses or corporations. If we accept this premise, then we must be prepared for the ramifications. Just like a person cannot knowingly do physical harm to another individual, a corporation cannot knowingly do physical harm to another individual. This is a blanket statement/example for an innumerable amount of laws, regulations, legislation, amendments, court cases, wars, and history.

In my view, much of what libertarians want is as fantastical as what the utopiatards want. They want a world free of oppressive laws like minimum wage and no lead in the paint because it will be more cost effective for their business model, but what about the individual’s right to have toxin free water and the ability to pay the light bill. We have to remember that when we prescribe, pun intended due to the libertarian candidates profession, to a certain ideology, we must think of the ramifications of that certain philosophy and really think about how that philosophy will impact the world around us.

Ron Paul is a politician. Politicians lie. Therefore, Ron Paul lies. That is called logic. It doesn't matter how fantastic his ideas are, he IS lying and his plan will work no better than the next liar/politician. Also, Ron Paul is a MD. MDs lie. Ron Paul has two strikes against him just like every other politician, EVER!

Libertarians have some good ideas, but they lose me when the talk social issues.

anything in particular you disagree with?

the general mantra is that it isnt the Fed's job to make those desisions for you.

That's so true...

If you read the thread, you would realize that wasn't my comparison.

Have another espresso....you are asleep at the wheel.

I never understand why people are soo afraid of free markets. No matter what there will be corrupt corporations, but at least in a free market you have choice.

And THAT is what I love most about libertarians. They don't force you to accept or live their lifestyle.

They just want you to leave them alone so they can live how they choose.

your 2nd misinterpretation in this thread.

That is what I observe with many libertarians.

They think that other opinions are worthless.

Many libertarians are dogmatic like communists.

Their ideology does not work, just like Communism does not work.

Humans are social animals and need a group to survive.

A group needs rules. Those rules must be enforced.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Ron Paul is a nice guy, though. I like him.

j3w controlled media. ron paul wants to completely cut off all their foreign aid, so they portray libertarians as "jerkoffs".

AGAIN....if you COULD READ....you would see I did NOT bring up the Hilter / Gay comparison.

Maybe the RIF Mobile needs to drive by your house.
You may need a brush up on reading comprehension skills.

the point is that you are the only one who didnt understand what i was talking about.............

I am as well but it is unlikely that I will see freedom in my lifetime.

But, generally we vote for more freedom for the people. I wouldn't vote for something which oppresses anyone.

mind your fucking business and i'll mind mine.

we'll be good neighbors.
