23 Ways of Poking Fun at Libertarians
Townhall.com ^ | August 3, 2013 | Daniel J. Mitchell

Posted on 08/03/2013 6:35:31 AM PDT by Kaslin

The very first bit of anti-libertarian humor I ever posted was this clever video about the anarcho-capitalist paradise of Somalia.

I then shared two cartoons, one on libertarian ice fishing and the other showinglibertarian lifeguards.

That was followed by a very funny list of the 24 types of libertarians.

But I haven’t shared anything making fun of people like me since this “think I do” montage last year.

Thanks to Buzzfeed, however, we now have something new for our collection. They came up with “23 Libertarian Problems” and here are two of my favorites from the list.

As usual, at least as far as I can see, your assumptions are off the mark. I have been on DU un the past, I have exposed faulty reasoning and incorrect factual assertions there, and pointed out their folly in general. I never said “let me tell you about The Road to Serfdom, and why you shpuld read it”.

No, but I don’t think I could have said with any honesty that libertarianism is the “heart and soul” of the left. Even those lunatics wouldn’t buy that, but you might.

I never lasted very long over there. You said I was on Free Republic to push leftwing social issues, so you tell me. I can’t imagine you would shoot your mouth off without anything to back it up. Name one.

He believes it’s ok to kill a child at 39 weeks, but it’s wrong that the government tells him that he cannot marry his daughter.

Liberaltarians. Who can figure em?

I haven’t seen any real Libertarian bashing for almost a decade, but it’s starting to creep up. They must really fear Rand Paul.

You must not hang out here much. Attempting to make fun of libertarianism is great sport for people who equate bumper stickers with political wisdom.

Apparently some feckless morons equate libratrianism with libertinism...

The two are not the same...

Well, let’s see what the man says. I think that if you support bigamy, polygamy, gay marriage, etc, you are firmly on the libertine side.

You better fact check your history. Leftists have used social conservatives to further lefty agendas since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. It's blatantly obvious yet you still can't see how the GOPe and the democrats are using you. You want big government for the causes you are so passionate about well, you're going to get big government alright.

I wish you could understand that none of this has to do with gays, abortions, etc. It has everything to do with following a 200 year old document. I'm all for following the original intent of the Constitution. Why do you want to take the progressive route and bend it towards your pet causes?

“A libertine is one devoid of most moral restraints, which are seen as unnecessary or undesirable, especially one who ignores or even spurns accepted morals and forms of behaviour sanctified by the larger society. Wikipedia”

Which doesn’t fit any libertarian i’ve ever heard of. Period.

You might wan a crack. Dictionary before you make yourself sound even dumber.

Utter bullshit.

I’ve yet to see anyone here defend the gay agenda. Libertarian or otherwise.

If you can’t argue without making sh*t up, you aren’t going to get very far.

You are wasting your time. These folks refuse to think for themselves. It’s easier for someone to hand them an agenda so they can blindly follow.

What you call "pet causes"?

The left uses libertarians and rinos to promote a leftist social agenda that guarantees that America will only get more liberal and enslaved.

Libertarians have seen their social agenda succeed for 50 years, and the result of that agenda is massive destruction and an explosion of big government and control.

Your war against conservatism is creating the very thing that you pretend to be against.

Do you know how social liberals vote?

I’m guessing you don’t know a lot of libertarians.

What I asked was.

I assume that you shared some common ground that your libertarianism has with the left when you were interacting with the DUers.

What common grounds did you describe?

You are saying that you never posted anything that libers and DU could share, nothing?

You think that a liberal social agenda shows independent thinking, and that traditional American and human values and morality are for blind followers?

On this site, it is a matter of social issues. When you registered on this site, you agreed to abide by that. Why would anyone assume that you are trustworthy on any matter if you not only abrogate that agreement, but do so with an arrogant sense of entitlement.

That needs to be said frequently on these liber threads.

I also believe that the government has the constitutional power to regulate substances.

Actually, the feds haven't since the repeal of the 18th amendment. I know...never let that damned piece of paper get in the way of telling people how they are allowed to live their lives.

If you believe that the government doesn’t have this power, why not permit a 14 year old to drink legally?

Why not? More importantly, why would you let your 14 year old drink if you believe it to be so terrible? I guess that law is the only thing keeping you from letting your 14 year old drink, isn't it?

I have seen dozens here defend the gay agenda, generally libtardarians.

Seach the keywords “Zot” and “Viking Kitties”.

A focus on hedonism dulls ones sense of perception evidently.

Know plenty of them. Most of the ones I know have a sacred trinity of pot, condoms and gay marriage.

The government shouldn’t legislate regarding marriage, sexuality, or a whole host of other areas where it’s seen fit to pass laws. The end result is the mess we have now.

Where has there been nations and tribes that didn't have any marriage, and divorce, and family law?
