    Really? So all death rate data before 2010 is BS? You expect me to believe nobody could figure out death rates before the ACA?

    You want documentation from me. Prove your assertion.

    Medicaid and Medicare and SS disability. That isn’t what we are discussing. I would have preferred different solutions to those problems too, but what’s done is done.

    Your “authoritarianism” and television education are showing again. :) Exposing Democrat hypocrisy with empirical evidence isn’t libertarian ideology. Personal responsibility may be I don’t know. I’m not a fan of libertarianism. I am a fan of personal responsibility but I understand authoritarians would be put off by it. So it goes. What does the TV say about libertarianism?

    Yes but that can happen to educated and uneducated. No one can deny that there're many educated villains. And one of the main reasons that educateds are making twice is because we have uneducateds in the economy. If everyone was educated could they make that much. And if educateds live more than uneducateds it's because the society is working this way nowadays. It's not because education is good or educateds are better. If we were in the era when the majority of people were farmers and ranchers could we say that educateds live or make more.

    You clearly have no clue what Libertarianism is and would not recognise a Libertarian if they were shoved up your arse. So, please, do me a favour by not speaking of it ever again.

    Of course he didn't. He always voted against war, against the war on drugs, against government ecpansion, against regulations and against everything else politicians love. The fact that he never had anything passed actually speaks for rather than against him.

    A great man who never flip floped on any issue and who never turned his coat

    Yes, that is exactly what I said - Liberal means Liberal. However, in America it means Leftist/Democrat and that is just ridiculous.

    No, you are thus not a liberal since you vote Democrat. When was the last time any Democratic politician ever stood for any of those planks you listed above?


    No. This is absolutely false.

    Very funny and very original. Not. Instead of listening to what the voices in your head tell you, you could start by actually reading a book.

    Geez.

    I do not have any kind of "man luv" for "the Pauls". I have only spoken positively of Ron because he is a highly credible politician.

    Ron Paul never voted in line with the GOP. Not once. The GOP hates him more than they fear the devil.

    Sure, he only caucused with them as a spy fir Dems right ?
    Rand Paul is the typical AGW denier, non science half breed who sits on the fence like Collins till his vote is necessary. He’s a tea Party bloviator, like most libertarians.

    They aren’t getting educated listening to Fox News. That’s a dead give away. You start quoting Fox and illustrate your distain for science, you might as well hang a shingle out as a Neanderthal. I don’t care how smart one thinks they are.

    If you actually bothered doing research instead of just shoving your fingers down your throat to create a fountain of nonsensical garbage, you would realise Ron Paul has explained why he represents the Republican Party and also would you realise that there is nothing Republican in how he talks and how he votes.

    In line with the actual topic of this thread; Go educate yourself!

    He is a practicing ophthalmologist, I am sure he does not deny science. Anyways, I am not much into him and have not followed him at all. I can thus not speak about him.

    You still could not recognise a libertarian if they were shoved up your butt, I see.

    You can be both an ophthalmologist and a science denier. It’s called, “ being a hypocrite.” You just order your sushi when Dems are around and vote with the Neanderthals when no ones looking.

    It’s a bellwether for serious people, as is AGW.

    Thankfully there are neither Democrats nor Republicans where I live.

    And neither do you. If slandering people who see through them is an example of what they are, you just passed the test.

    If libertarians were serious about civil rights, they’d be card carrying members of the ACLU. They aren’t. Being a so called Libertarian is a coverup for greed. That puts them next to Republicans.

    I know everything about Libertarianism as that is the only ideology I have read about for the last five years.


    Libertarians are apolitical. In fact, Libertarianism opposes the very notion of a government. Libertarianism is not an organised, political movement. Libertarianism is literally about one thing only and the one thing is that initiation of force is always wrong.

    Being a Libertarian is not a coverup, from wherever you pulled that conclusion needs to be cleaned because it is obviously a very dirty and disorganised place.

    Your only understanding of political philosophy is based on the illusion that political parties represent ideologies and your only knowledge of politics is whatever you hear on whatever biased TV station you choose to watch.

    You are uninformed on the matter and should do yourself a favour by not speaking of it because you are just making a fool out of yourself.

    Ha ha.
    Well, one can have those libertarian beliefs just like one can have liberal beliefs. As soon as you identify yourself as a libertarian, you’re a political animal.
    “an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.”

    Libertarians by definition are political. It’s a philosophy of the role of government....libertarians like Rand Paul are tea-baggers. Good luck with that “independent from the gop” s.h.i.t. .

    Citizenship should be merit based. If by say age 30, one has not demonstrated their use to society they should be deported to a random third world country. Children who earn less than a B average in high school should be sent to work on work farms. Men shorter than 5’7” should be executed and women taller than 5’7” should also be killed. Only pure breed dogs should be allowed, as mutts are ugly and violate God’s perfect plan.

    Duh. Who says a socialist system can’t be profitable? The mercantile system was also quite profitable. By the way, capitalism began as a liberal idea.

    It is the way the world works, the way it has always worked and always will work. Liberals come up with new ideas and products, which conservatives almost always object to. Over time first the progressives will start to accept the idea/product. After enough progressives have adopted it, the easily swayed middle will start to pick up on it. Once the conservatives start to feel left behind, they begin to adopt what everyone else has already proven workable. Then you get the Evangelicals at the tail end, complaining about their guns or abortion, complaining how society is moving too fast, while clinging to a past that never was.

    It is kind of the problem we find ourselves in. Democrats, who want the best for the most people are willing to compromise. The Republicans who only want what is best for a select group never wants to compromise.

    Exactly.
    The solution is to stay activated and out vote them. Independents as usual are the key. It’s the largest group of registered voters, generally more issue oriented. If Dems stay on the issues that the majority of their own party and independents support....skew the republicans and move on. I’m willing to compromise with them on the color of the toilet seats in rest rooms. Beige is fine. .
