When Libertarians or the like say “I mind my own business”/ “live and let live” what do they really mean? Is there really a Libertarian Party anymore?

I just told you, let parents decide how to educate their own children and quit relying on government to make the decisions.

That can't start happening until next year though.

Don't have to wait until next year, you can decide how to educate your own children right now. For example, I sent my kids to private school because I didn't want them in government run public schools, or you can home school your kids.

Going back to the theme of the Op, "Live and let live" means I don't want to nor do I have the right to make those choices for anybody Else, but I do have the exclusive right to make 'em for myself.

I just told you, let parents decide how to educate their own children and quit relying on government to make the decisions. Are you so completely reliant on government making your choices for you that you can't understand that concept?

My children always went to a private Christian school, that’s why they’re legit human beings but most good Americans don’t have the same luxury. Are you a proponent of leftism in academia…if not why aren’t you saying “sic Trump on academia” or something to that effect?

LOL, what don't you understand about GET RID OF GOVERNMENT RUN SCHOOLS? I don't want to "sic" anybody on government run education, I WANT TO GET RID OF IT ALTOGETHER. If you're a conservative, why are you defending government run education?

Every American COULD have that "luxury" if the money spent on government run schools was allocated directly to the student so that parents could decide what school to send their kids to be it private, charter, home schooling, whatever. The decisions belong with parents not with government or anybody Else.

Hahaha…you’re talking about something that would take years, maybe decades to dissolve and replace. To solve the issue today why not get government to take action against educators who deviate from academic curriculum?

Where did you get the silly notion that libertarians in general think they should?

Most Republicans think like Democrats - if they don't like something, it should be illegal.

 

[dblack]

What's conservative about relying on the state to do the parent's job?

It takes a village. Or so i have read.

The not so odd thing is…Lib-Tarians always seem to fail to notice that progressive leftists have infiltrated our institutions, academia, media, social media, government services etc etc…

Maybe. But it's not up to government to control these institutions. You really do want totalitarian government don't you?

 

[dblack]

Republicans know that they can run their own lives better than the government can and that's the difference.

The problem they want run other people's lives too.

 

[dblack]

I'm a conservative and children shouldn't be allowed to view porn.

Parents shouldn't let their kids view porn. What other parental responsibilities do you want government to take over?

 

[BrokeLoser]

The not so odd thing is…Lib-Tarians always seem to fail to notice that progressive leftists have infiltrated our institutions…academia, media, social media, government services etc etc…they’ve inorganically shifted our demography and our social construct…and they did it all as those traditional nutless Conservatives you seem to admire sat on their hands and looked the other way as it happened.
Lib-Tarians hate the idea of new-age Conservatives unwinding the “progress” made by Lefties using the very same methods and institutions the Left did. Does anyone here remember ANY Lib-Tarian showing their disdain for the Left as they infiltrated everything and used government institutions to usher in the New America they sought?

Maybe. But it's not up to government to control these institutions. You really do want totalitarian government don't you?

For some ‘convenient’ reason you hacked my post of relevant content, I think I know why…There it is above in its entirety for your reconsideration.

So who is running whose life when it comes to transgenders demanding access into whatever restroom and locker room and on whatever sport's team they wish?

Let's not pretend your posts contain relevant content, mkay?

They can demand all they want, but we should all be free to ignore their demands. Libertarians oppose any laws requiring us to accommodate them.

Based on my experiences here it seems like self proclaimed Libertarians are just re-packaged socially left as hell progressives who are probably voting Democrat in secret…kind of…sometimes.
Anytime I hear “I mind my own business” or “live and let live” it’s generally a Libertarian of sorts saying it, it’s usually directed at a Conservative and seemingly used to thwart conservative efforts to preserve and protect American values, family values, Christian values, western culture and or the moral order that built and pillared this once great nation.
Lets be honest…these days, doesn’t “live and let live” and “I mind my own business” really just mean ‘I’m happy with the Leftist movement in America right now so leave it alone you meddling Conservative’?

There is a Libertarian Party.

They managed to piss away all the great efforts by the Harry Browne troop, where he became the first 3rd party candidate to qualify for matching funds....They then set about burning that to the ground, by nominating limp-dicked GOP retreads, and then got invaded by disaffected Berntards after the Democrat Party stole his nomination twice.

The party isn't worth a **** today.

So what?

. To solve the issue today why not get government to take action against educators who deviate from academic curriculum?

What's stopping You? Go right ahead and keep doing the same thing you've been doing and see if you get different results.

It means you can stuff your culture war up your deplorable fat ass.

wow ! the "libertarian" is certainly triggered and angry of late .. even using one of the lefts favorite slurs against real Americans !

 

[LeroyDumonde]

That's not what conservatism is. That would better describe libertarianism.

 

[Natural Citizen]

That's not what conservatism is. That would better describe libertarianism.

Dude, go play with your crayons. Seriously. After that other post of yours I responded to, and now this bit of intellectual bumblefuckery here, you have no credibility.

I'll tell you what, though. That so many other self-professed ''conservatives'' on here think like you, just illustrates my point.

I think not.

The stuffing up the ass part would be a leftist culture thing.

You go be you with them.
