Show me one average person (not in law enforcement) that cheers these busts and thinks they are a great idea.

congratulations!

The latter: political cannibalism, factional tribal war, young eating the old, witch hunts, persecutions, inquisitions, radio lynch mobs, WMDs (Weapons of Media Destruction), internecine trench warfare, and in the end a party way more fractured and divided than the country as a whole. Expect their media apparatus to turn inward on itself and get downright ugly. That, or you believe they're all going to change their stripes, methods, and machine overnight in a family-friendly, Disney-kumbaya, compromise-hugging scenario. If the latter I have a bridge over I-5 to sell you. Oly called for jerk-offs, and one appeared.

It's all Bush's fault

States' rights!!

"While Jerry Sandusky got a 30-year minimum sentence for raping young boys, Mr. Williams is looking at a mandatory minimum of more than 80 years for marijuana charges and for possessing firearms during a drug-trafficking offense. " That about sums up how disgraceful and idiotic this is.

Stroke me, stroke me, stroke!

Amen. Another area where libertarians may find some common ground with the left is in their (typically) isolationist, or at least, non-interventionist bent. I'll concede that in the modern era the party most likely to start expensive wars is the Republican party, and they also seem to use that as a first resort to address any threat (e.g. Iran). wouldn't it be nice if say 15-20% of the republicans in congress were of a more isolationist/libertarian bent and voted to oppose new wars or continuing old ones indefinitely? Even with republican majorities, that could be enough to put the kabash on such policies. We need more diversity in our politicians not less, even if that means a few folks representing those views in congress or state legislatures.

Not Beowulf again...

Meh. In the real world most libertarians I've met believe that charities, churches and communities should take care of their own, not the federal government. I'm not saying I agree with that (I don't), or that I think that is good policy (I don't) but I think it's unfair to attribute hypothetical motive to people's political opinions. As I said, I think most people want what (they think) is best for America and their fellow citizens. Suggesting that libertarians as a whole are sneaky fat cats consciously scuttling the ship and tip-toeing out with the lifeboats while everyone else sleeps is ludicrous. Have you ever tried to see things from their perspective? It's possible to disagree with someone without assigning a disrespectful interpretation to their motive, you know. Some libertarians want to abolish the FDA and other important and useful government agencies. I'm not in that camp. As Tvash said, there is a wide spectrum of what encompasses libertarian beliefs. I don't necessarily believe that private charities should handle all the social services for the needy, but I do believe we need to manage the scope (i.e. limit) of federal charities and make sure they are not abused by freeloaders. With a charity you at least get to give money to those you have faith will use it wisely - and withdraw support when you learn or suspect otherwise, or when need is less. Fundamentally I want the government to mind its own business and let people live their lives. That's why I supported gay weed. I'd even support some profoundly stupid, posturing dumbass taking LSD and climbing and bragging about it on the internet - as long as he didn't hurt someone doing it.

You really are a small-minded, vitriolic, intolerant and petty little bigot, aren't you.

based on your track record learning English, this is a lost cause

Woah, that's a climbing reference. Prole won't get that.

Seek help.

His own county voted democratic. Ryan was reelected.

Hey, you still haven't slit your wrists yet? Still planning the revolution... you know, since democracy is "broken"?

What Libertarian would not support people doing what the fuck they want as long as they don't hurt others?

With his mood, you'd think Romney won and the R's got a supermajority in the senate. Then again, some people just seem to revel in negativity and unhappiness.

Oh my, you were so right fucking on- as usual. I also predicted an Obama victory with Ohio being the tipping point (274). Nekhaj kachka tebe kopne, lyakhe.

Out of the Cellar!

Muir on Saturday indeed.

Ohio tipped it to 274 and that ended the night early.

RGIII is all hype so he negates the Redskins Rule
