He's a social liberal and that is the attraction to be a LIBERALtarian.

MR Selleck - One thing you are not and could never be is Ronald Reagan!

Selleck is about on a par with other silly Hollyweird types.

I have some libertarian leanings too and think many of the party's positions are well inside the conservative movement. Please think twice about slandering libertarians--I'll take them over RINOs anytime.

I don't think Tom would condone the actions of the reason web site and their mocking of an eight year old child.

The missing link to individualistic solutions to social problems is the lack of responsibility......Not that our giveaway programs have solved them either. Now we have far too many people who have no idea what it would mean to be responsible for themselves. That was the thing about Katrina that made folks the maddest, it is so glaring that no one took responsibility for themselves. For that matter the local and state politicians took no responsibility either.

"...in an interview with Cigar Aficionado magazine." LOL

Look, Libertarians are terrific folks, good and decent people. I know a lot of them, but they don't fully understand the power and influence of the "big guy" on the block and don't see the need for government protections against his power and his greed. Would that the world could be as they see it! But, it isn't. Period.

Liberals like GOVERNMENTAL "solutions" to perceived problems. Selleck says right out he likes INDIVIDUALISTIC SOLUTIONS, which in the long run, actually WORK. Try tarring someone else with that brush... Never forgetting, of course, that your brand of "conservatism" ALSO prefers governmental "solutions" to perceived problems.

Here, just for you is my post from yesterday:

Government




The BIG LIE





The first time that some friend tells you to try government as a solution to a problem, it sounds like a good idea. Maybe it will get your neighbor to act the way you want him to. Maybe it will get you an education or some health care.


It sneaks up on you, a little at a time, at first. You think one little government program won't hurt. Government helps you and you don't have to pay for the help. A pretty good deal.


But one day it dawns on you: you're HOOKED. Whatever problem you face, from your not earning as much money as you'd like to the unaesthetic design of your neighbor's house to your city's inability to attract an NFL franchise, you turn to government for "help."

You're SWAMPED in government programs and you've lost control of your life. You've become a government addict.


It's hard to kick the habit. Being responsible for your OWN actions is not always convenient. You'll have to make decisions for yourself. Sometimes they are going to be WRONG. Yet being free to choose -- rightly or wrongly -- and to learn from your mistakes -- is what being human is all about.


Once you've come clean, once you've broken the habit of turning to government for an answer, you realize that government is the PROBLEM, NOT the solution.


Government is a LIE. It promises prosperity and a better standard of living. But it ends up taking from you, controlling you, dragging you down into a seedy underworld of bureaucracy, red tape and corruption.





Think for yourself. Break free of government. It's just a BIG LIE!!!

I'm not certain that he is.

I know for fact that "Thomas Magnum" was a Tigers fan...but is Selleck a Tigers fan?
