I was just wondering if there is many regular if any libertarians here at GLP Yes I consider myself a libertarian. All freedom loving people should be. We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be: The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence. Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty. The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE |

I was just wondering if there is many regular if any libertarians here at GLP Well the country was pretty much founded on libertarian ideals and it worked up until the early 1900's. That's why it was called the Guilded Age. From the end of the civil war to about the 1920's it was the greatest economic expansion in US History. And it's just the right way to be.

I was just wondering if there is many regular if any libertarians here at GLP Be careful, OP. Most the the people who identify as "libertarians" at this site are nothing of the sort. They tend to forcefully push their own agendas on others. Such agendas (most often) include anti-gay, anti-black, anti-marijuana, anti-muslim, anti-jewish, and anti-liberal. An actual Libertarian is PRO-liberty and ANTI-nothing that harms no one. Think about that before you start to imagine that you've found comrades here. GLP is a far-right conservative site. Yes, some Libertarians frequent the place but most of us can't stand it for any extended amount of time. |

I was just wondering if there is many regular if any libertarians here at GLP I was just curious is all,so please dont bash or throw negative replies if your not or disagree w/them or those who are. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8967976 TIA For any and all replies. Oh and before I get asked lol, Yes I am one :-) ???????????????What is Libertarian???????????????? The libertarian or "classical liberal" perspective is that individual well-being, prosperity, and social harmony are fostered by "as much liberty as possible" and "as little government as necessary." These ideas lead to new questions: What's possible? What's necessary? What are the practical implications and the unsolved problems? Below are a number of different takes on the libertarian political perspective from which you can deepen your understanding; also be sure to check out the videos in the sidebar.
