Pornography By Murray Rothbard

[AmyNation]

Maybe you're just not into scholarly pursuits b/c 6 minutes is pretty tame for a thesis.

I'm not in to broad generalizations that paint libertarians as the keepers of freedom while
conservatives and liberals bicker and try to chip away at it.

But that's exactly what happens. Libertarians are for total freedom. And conservatives and liberals do bicker over how to control our lives.

Do you honestly not know the difference between your opinion and facts?

it's a good idea to remember that gasbag has the kind of political acumen that led him to label national review a leftist rag.

i'd take any youtube vid that he posts quite seriously.

He also said that GDP growth wasn't economic growth.

Not exactly raving scholar material here.

How about you just start saying whatever it is you want to say. Cos once again, you're not really saying anything.

I said exactly what I wanted to. I'm sorry your thread didn't invoke the responses you clearly desired, but maybe next time you could put a little more thought into it, instead of trying to whitewash all liberals and conservatives as freedom thieves bent on imposing their morals on the populous.

Good video.

However, how many Libertarians actually act in accordance to what the video states?

Especially today's current crop of Libertarians.

They always tend to swing one way or the other, currently they are swinging right and thus are leaning towards what the Right says/thinks is good and moral.

Your premise is bunk and a bit arrogant frankly. I was just referring to your lack of clarity.

I'm guessing you're referring to Republicans who profess libertarian values. I'd tend to agree with you, if that is what you are stating. But with regards to independents and libertarians who espouse libertarian values; I believe they have more backbone than anyone.

If you need a 6 minute YouTube video to make your point, it isn't really your point, is it?

Think for yourself, rather than relying on YouTube videos to think for you.

No, it is my point. I could've spent 15 minutes documenting it with points and sub points for trolls like yourself who don't give a **** to begin with. Or I could post a video and those who have interest can comment on the points.

Were you the type of person that got mad at your college professor when you did an exercise in class and then he/she simply said discuss? I'm guessing you weren't allowed to be anti-social in that setting.

I don't know what college you went to, but my professors actually taught us themselves, rather than just showing us YouTube videos...

heresy

Hmmm...I'll have to disagree on this much, the folks that tend to espouse don't seem to actually live it...they just preach it. Hence they are the biggest cowards.

Now to the minority of those who actually live it, I agree with you. For instance, the Tea Partiers that were espousing these views during Bush's spending spree, they're the real deal. But really...how many of them were there? Little to none. Hence I disagree with your statement.

It sounds good on paper, but in reality it rarely exists....IMO.

WTF are you talking about? Libertarians are hardcore against govt. intrusion. I don't know what you think they're supposed to be living.

Also, Tea Partiers and Libertarians are not interchangeable terms. They tend to share many of the same fiscal conservative positions; but that doesn't make them one in the same.
