Wrong, I used to think I was a libertarian and realized that I could never be one because to be a libertarian, you must embrace everything about it, i.e., abortion, open borders, crack heads, anarchy, etc.
The brain is definitely working, it’s just most libertarians are half-assed libertarians.
Not a doctrinaire big-L Libertarian, but I think a strong admixture of small-L libertarian principle in our country's politics would do it a lot of good right now.
I dont see Libertarianism as an all or nothing proposition. Like Conservatism or Liberalism/Progressivism there’s a continuum along which an individual can be located. And placement upon that continuum can occur at multiple points depending on views on specific issues.
Indeed, if you look at the Libertarian continuum youll see the hippie anything goes dope smokers on one side, and the Ayn Randian/John Galtesque types on the other. And they are distinctly different creatures.
Exactly, precisely, 180 degrees wrong.
Libertarians ignore reality/experience more than conservatives. They ignore the stink hole America would be if they got are their crap legalized.
What a pantload.
You’ve never heard of Libertarians for Life?
that’s a big ‘L’ Libertarian
I don’t agree with the statement. People need to be responsible for their personal behavior both legally and in private and it doesn’t mean I don’t support laws against society for drug use or other criminal activity!
As for personal responsibility if a person chooses to go down that path then they should be on their own with no government safety net programs available to them. That means no funding for abortions or drug treatment programs.
That’s just my take
