LIBERTARIANISM & LIBERTY - COMPATIBLE WITH CHRISTIANITY SOCIALISM - COMPATIBLE WITH NEITHER

Posted on 01/10/2014 1:14:42 PM PST by crazylibertarian

I have always been resentful of authority, with an attitude to 'the authorities' of 'who died and made you God?' I've always believed that freedom is only possible within the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

You realize that you’re in the minority with those views, don’t you?


He is right on about getting the Government out of everything, i don,t know how this has anything to do with Catholicism.

Is Latin America a Libertarian nation?

I am not a Catholic and most likely will not be but i fail to see what that has to do with it except that he stated he was a Catholic.

Romney stated he was a Mormon so we have a Muslim socialist for president.

He claimed to be Catholic in his post. I was pointing out that, as a Catholic, his political views are in the minority of those held by his fellow Catholics.

"libertarianism” is the enemy of civilization

I’m simply in favor of “the minimum government consistent with public order” (Reagan’s description of his own political philosophy).

RON PAUL is known as "Dr. No" for his voting record. He never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.

I'm sure he is WELL-LOVED by Congress [sarcasm]. The problem with that is the isolation he brings upon himself, sometimes sounding like nothing more that a self-righteous prig.
You have to make some PALS in the aisles if you want to get some of your OWN legislation listened to, discussed and passed. Otherwise you're just busting your gums for the sound of your own voice.

I really don’t care if I’m in the minority.

I differentiate between libertarianism and the LP. I never agreed with the LP when it countenanced abortion.

I chose the screen name crazylibertarian because I went to one of the most radical colleges in the country, NYU. People told me I was a lunatic for my then conservative views. As time went on I became more & more libertarian so when it came to choosing a political screen name. I figured I might as well accept that I am a lunatic, hence the name.

Wow. He’s in the minority. That must mean he’s wrong. Great argument.

We’ve always had a king. Any society that allowed the people to rule themselves failed. Sure, in theory, it seems really nice, but IN THE REAL WORLD, every modern, successful nation has a king. No matter what they think, those silly colonists will fail because it’s never been done.

Yeah, that argument also failed.

Get out of my wallet, my church and my way.

And I’ll bet you have actual evidence to support an actually valid argument . . . NOT.

Thanks for the ad hominem. We’d don’t read enough of those.

Huh? I don't recall an argument with you, let alone an attack on you.
