I’m Throwing Down a Libertarian Gauntlet.

by Ed Snyder May 23rd, 2007

My brother has told me several times that, as a libertarian, I should be far more sympathetic to the ideas of liberalism than to those of conservatism. I believe his rationale is that libertarians generally agree with liberals about more issues than they do with conservatives. Of course, I’ve never debated that point because I agree with it. It’s just that some of the conservative issues always seemed to rank higher on my “personal issues” list than those of liberals. After almost 7 years of a so-called neocon in the Executive and 12 years of conservatives controlling Congress, my opinions have changed.

It’s not that I don’t still find conservative issues regarding liberty more important, it’s just that I don’t find very many real conservatives holding office. The whole feigned outrage with the most conservative member of Congress after the last debate drives this home. It brings the lying hypocrisy of the neocons right out into the light for the whole world to see. It shows their “big tent” to be a reverse TARDIS–that is, it looks much bigger on the outside than it really is on the inside. Read the rest of this entry »

You’re such a hypocrite. You and your friend Dead Corpse were the ones to insult ME, to start calling ME names out of the blue. So for you to then turn around and tell ME to be nice and set a good example is laughable. I’ve really had enough of you two.

I see you are unable or unwilling to engage in reasoned discussion.

once again, it is all about your feelings, and you refuse to speak to the main points.

grow up friend, later...

Your first post on this thread (#38) was insulting. Now you are getting pissy about return fire?

What are you? 12 years old or something?
