Libertarians are so rational that they can't win an election. [/ QUOTE ] This is why my slide towards libertarianism is a little depressing... |

Re: Libertarians: Closer to Liberals or Conservatives ?
[ QUOTE ]
A true libertarian believes that the economic "freedoms" advocated by conservatives are grossly insufficient. Additionally, the restriction of individual freedom and rigidly defined "moral values" are quite disturbing to them. Any "libertarian" who would actually vote Republican certainly does not have enough conviction in his ideals to actually consider himself one. [/ QUOTE ] I heard some windbag on the radio yesterday promoting her new book about how great conservatism is. In the interview she mentioned that she thinks of herself as a "classical liberal", which basically means libertarian. I thought, oh cool, she sounds great. Then she followed up IMMEDIATELY, the very next sentence, with "And I don't think drug abuse should be legal, or prostitution". WTF. Lady, I don't think that word means what you think it means. natedogg |

Re: Libertarians: Closer to Liberals or Conservatives ?
How would voting for their candidate promote change from within?
