I hate liberterians

[Guppy]

as much as I hate republicans. Phony assholes who think they are above it all. Right up there with the weirdo Federalist society.

[Ohiogal]

1. Rand Paul is a perfect example, too

[Throck]

2. Ying and yang.

Politically they're idiots, they grow good hemp.

[treestar]

3. Were you debating with one?

I find them to have a tendency towards oversimplification. And yes, they act "above it all." They are convinced they have the answers.

[Guppy]

8. no

I have known a few. Mostly uninformed and clueless that we are a 2 party system.

[vlyons]

4. Many Libertarians are Ayn Randers

who hate all gov, except military. They want to privatize gov and pay no taxes. Selfish me-first bastards

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

12. ++++

So true.

[Hsapienssapiens]

18. I keep wondering

...Ayn Rand once said on national TV that "altruism is evil." So, if she were drowning and I, the altruist, swam out to save her, would she refuse the aid? Just asking...

And, if libertarians really don't want to pay taxes, why not just nationalize the oil industry? That would be the easiest way...no?

[Volaris]

19. Hell no she wouldn't refuse, it's why she cashed the SocSec checks the gov sent her.

Not refusing the charity of another is, in it's own way, the ultimate act of being a selfish, self important prick.
I used to think the guys who ran banks failed at their own twisted ideology for even asking for the bailout money, but I think that was incorrect:
OF COURSE they were going to ask for it. And of course we were going to say yes.

It's the difference between being charitibly self interested, and just enabling the spoiled children

[Hsapienssapiens]

41. Yeah, she'd probably grab me so tight she'd drown me, too...

The dream scenario for Libertarians is a nightmare in reality, like Somalia of a few years ago...

They seem to ignore the fact that civilization is why humans became successful as a species.

[Volaris]

42. Agreed

[beachbum bob]

5. for a political belief, libertarianism is a joke, a system that has NEVER actually existed ANYWHERE,

ANY PLACE or at any time.

Hell they are my favorite people to mock

[Downtown Hound]

35. Oh, it exists in Somalia

A shining example of what no functional government and unrestricted and unregulated capitalism looks like.

[Blue_true]

44. That is the best example, along with Yemen. nt

[Locrian]

6. ah libertarians...

the selfish, simplistic, philosophy of 12 year old boys everywhere (with apologies to woke 12 yr olds).

[rownesheck]

7. I say the same thing

almost every day! Their whole "don't help anyone", "no government", "unregulated free market", "unregulated everything" garbage makes me angry. Isn't their hero ayn rand? Weren't the last years of her life spent living off social security and Medicare?

When there is only a repuke and a libertarian running for a certain office, i don't cast a vote for that office. I always hope that somehow they notice that.

[MountCleaners]

21. Ayn Rand is such a bad writer

I wouldn't trust the intellect of anyone who thinks she is worth anything.

Plus, she's supposed to be a rationalist, but her writing is really florid and emotional.

[violetpastille]

31. Emotional, but emotionally immature. Very 9th grade.

In her books the guys are always flinging the women to the ground before sex. They never seem to do it any other way.

[dalton99a]

9. Their purpose is to help Republicans win elections

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

15. Malignant repubs

almost as bad...but just barely. Agree to ALL the above.
I take that back...they ARE just as bad. Shot in the fanny w themselves re. "the answers"

[C_U_L8R]

10. They have no concept of the common good

Something stopped developing in adolescence. It's all what's-in-it-for-me and fuck everyone else. It's time they grew up and started caring about the world and their neighbors.

[TheFarseer]

11. On the plus side

Libertarians are like their Green Party, taking votes away from the R’s. Libertarians them selves are usually greedy dickheads or colossally misinformed on what having no government would actually be like.

[Guppy]

13. Here in GA

they may cause a runoff.

[concreteblue]

14. "I'm a Libertarian!"

The last refuge of the embarrassed Republican.

[oasis]

40. Ex-Speaker Ryan will embrace that idea.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

16. They are loathsome!

[Funtatlaguy]

17. Best description of a Lib: A Republican that wants to smoke dope.

[The Genealogist]

22. Most of the self-identified Libertarians I have know are Libertarians because pot

I haven't met many of them, most I have known I knew in college. They wanted pot to be legal. I don't think many of them cared about the rest of that morally bankrupt philosophy.

[Rizen]

20. At least they take votes from Republicans

and not us. But they're still idiots.

[Boomerproud]

23. Self obsessed immature dolts.

They actually thinl they are a political movement.

[stopbush]

24. A libertarian is a person who is for funding public roads

as long as they intersect with the streets in their gated community.

[MurrayDelph]

25. I've said it so many times it's almost a mantra

Libertarians are little prats who rationalize their selfishness by maintaining two falsehoods:

an artificially high (and false) opinion of their own self-worth, matched with
an artificially low (and equally-false) view of everyone else's.

[Hoyt]

26. Racist white wingers, too ashamed to call themselves Republicans.

[Aristus]

27. A libertarian is like the guy who tells a group: "Let's all go in together on some pizza!"

The pizza arrives, he eats twice his allotted share, and then doesn't chip in.

Libertarians drive on public roads, but call the taxes levied to pay for them 'robbery'.

They breathe the air we pay to keep clean, but insist the government is taking away their hard-earned money.

They drink the water we pay to keep potable, but think environmental protection regulation is unfair to polluting corporations.

Fuck 'em...

[Loki Liesmith]

28. Robert Nozick was pretty decent

[DonCoquixote]

29. an old but true classic

[underpants]

30. Spot on

[VOX]

43. Brilliant!

Somehow, I missed seeing this. Until now.
Thanks for posting!

[violetpastille]

32. In my dictionary

Libertarian:

"Someone who likes to smoke pot but hates black people."

(Someone always comes back at me, "NO they just don't want to pay taxes." That too.}

Independent:

A Republican that wants to have sex with Democrats.

[malchickiwick]

33. IMO the irony of libertarianism is that logically it calls for total redistribution of all wealth...

Because, from an objective, rational analysis, their "I, Me, Mine" ideology only makes sense if everybody on the planet begins at the very exact same place economically.

The fact that the world is inherently unequal in how opportunity and resources are distributed is exactly what makes libertarianism a farce (and progressive-ism the only logical stance).

[Iggo]

36. Sorry. That was mean.

[JonLP24]

37. There is a car radio commercial

It goes like "No one says to themselves I need to make this Republican cereal, take my kids to a Democratic school, fill my car with Libertarian gasoline." I'm like you wouldn't want Libertarian gasoline.

Their business freedoms are deadly but when it com3s to social policy we could be natural allies.

[Ohio Barbarian]

38. I am not a libertarian because I am an adult. nt

[Roland99]

39. Why? Just look at all of succesful and booming Libertarian nations

Uh. Wait. Never mind!
