A Libertarian Pimping Taxes Again

[ViperJock]

Didn't stop you from calling other people hypocrites.

Correct. Because libertarians are not held to the same standard as other faiths. You act as if they can do no wrong. Any "misspeaks" is either taken out of context or not the "official" position. Any criticism of a libertarian results in an attack on someone else rather than acceptance of error. It's hypocritical.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I don't know if I would go as far as hypocrisy, but it is good to point out that even libertarians/Libertarians have a wide spectrum of opinion.

In politics no one is saintly.

Repubs don't seem to care what their party members believe. So long as their candidate isn't named Obama.

Scroll back a couple posts and read. What part of "I definitely disagree with some of the things he has written" translates to ME acting as if this blogger can "do no wrong" ?????????????

You guys should read the article.

It mentions the Republicans' plans for a carbon tax. Seriously, dating back to Reagan.

Money shot - His plan got the Grover Norquist seal of approval.

Of course, I note that many INGO conservatives think he is a sleeper cell for the Muslim Brotherhood. So, I don't know if that will hold weight with the birther, 1a Obama conspiracy theorists, etc...

A couple years ago I made a thread about John Holdren, Romney & Obama's fascist adviser. He's a scary dude to say the least. He's written books about actively killing people to reduce human population, forced abortions, forced sterilization, adding sterilants to the water supply, giving "rights" and legal status to animals and trees, a government One-Child policy, de-developing the United States, replacing Capitalism, and instituting a "Planetary regime" to control all resources on earth. This is the adviser that both candidates have chosen to help craft policy in their administration.

True. I'm calling you out for Switching the topic to an attack on Romney. Not that he may not deserve it. But i was just pointing this out.

Is the repub nominee's last name Obama? Nuff said.

Yeah, it's too bad that "conservatives" don't all march lock-step in their ideas like the Libertarians do.

Any that might deviate from my position were obviously never a real conservative.

ABO seems like a pretty lock step movement to me.

No more so than the "Johnson/Paul or nobody" camp.

I'm not lock step with anyone. I realize there isn't a damn thing I'm going to do to change our course.

"Carbon taxes" are the quintessence of stupid solutions to non-existent problems that wouldn't help even if the problem existed.

Maybe, but it is really about putting a boot on someone's neck.

Everyone, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, wants to put a boot on someone else's neck.

Which is another reason why I hate political parties. Political parties (with some exceptions among their membership) can't get enough government and laws as long as it suits their interests. George Washington warned us and we didn't listen.

I'm libertarian, but I don't intend to ever be a Libertarian.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

An individual who considers himself a libertarian has a proposition that does not align with libertarian philosophy.

I fail to understand what this has to do with the Libertarian party or libertarian philosophy in general.

Sounds more like it has to do with this individual, and his specific belief that falls closer to the authoritarian side of the spectrum - you know, the exact opposite of libertarian.

You should be blaming authoritarian philosophies for creating this. Social-liberal and neo-conservative philosophies align with this proposal, not libertarian philosophies.

Ummm, you do know who Radley Balko is, right? Senior Editor at Reason? Chin-scratcher at Cato? Libertarian? Featured author and thinker at Libertarianism.org?

Radley Balko speaks for libertarianism. Heck, he is paid to speak for it.

A mouth piece of libertarianism is saying he is cool with taxing carbon and wants a boot on your neck.

Libertarian philosophy wants to sit on the throne just like everyone else and tell you what to do. Balko is further proof of this fact.

Or, perhaps as others have pointed out, Balko is not pure enough?

Umm...perhaps you're a bit behind the times. Radley hasn't worked at Cato for many years. He now works for HuffPo. Radley speaks for Radley.

Who is? Is there nobody worthy?
