The Liberalitarian Dust-Up .. (The Angry Left rebukes a would-be friend)

Liberaltarians are simply Leftists in all respects other than taxation and business regulation. Socially, they are Leftist radicals.

BS.

Libertarians are the true conservatives. While the social right has gone off the deep end with spending money like they hate the stuff....buying into the bs that the Constitution is a " living breathing document" to be toyed with. Libertarion/conservatives have not given up on smaller less intrusive government trusting the American people and still believing in personal liberty.

It will be a loooong time before the social right is allowed near the checkbook again.

Except the only point made in the comment by the anonymous poster is a mindless scream of his rage at NRO for not worshiping the utter brilliance of his 100%er dogmas. The NRO author is correct in showing how this sort of commentary illustrate how anger is used by some modern Losertarians in place of anything even remotely resembling a rational point.

we the sheeple just will not STFU and follow along the way we are supposed to

Bingo! They think they'd be much less outraged all the time, if only the rest of us would do what they tell us is good for us.

steve-b wrote, "OK; clearly an example of the sort of "Jeremiads" and "hard-hitting satire" Adams' and Jefferson's partisans launched at each other back in the day. (It clearly does not suggest any real identification of Goldberg with a wife-beating husband, and so doesn't qualify for the category of "libelous personal attacks".) "


steve-by,

I don't think that Goldberg was quoting that libertarian response as a way of demonstrating a "libelous personal attack". Rather, he was illustrating a prior point that Libertarians are chaffing under the rule of their "purblind inferiors".

[steve-b]

Wrong -- the message is a straightforward "these guys (self-so-called "conservatives") have proven untrustworthy before; ergo, only an idiot would trust them now). Pure logic.

What about just plain old Rightists like me? I am Social Right, as you put it, and fiscally conservative as well. Whereas, Liberaltarians are weak socially. Many of them are also incredibly naive geopolitically and have an extremely isolationist bent.
