Are all Ron Paul Libertarian Teabagger types sociopathic assholes?

[jpak]

Or am I just seeing something others don't?

:D

1. No, some are insane lobotomites.

[applegrove]

27. Yup pawns. I saw a woman today who thought that public health care meant that

she was the "type" they would give a pill to and she would die.

[FormerDittoHead]

2. You forgot psychotic. n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. No

some just don't understand history and the flow of things.

One good thing about the Paulites, though--I've found I can get through to them on health care to this extent--I ask if they have read the bill. I then say that I don't trust what someone tells me, I read it for myself. This appeals to their sense of "citizen government" and they go out and read the darned thing. Haven't heard back from any yet, but I'm hoping when I do they argue on the merits of the bill, and not on hype (and I plan to ask them their opinions of Beck et al who were spewing lies).

8. this is true...

I had a conversation with one, without realizing it till the end of the conversation, and he and I agreed on a lot of topics.

[gratuitous]

4. Yes

Another edition of short answers to simple questions, brought to you by your friendly neighborhood gratuitous.

[frustrated_lefty]

5. yes

[HughBeaumont]

6. Most are damned straight selfish and paranoid.

Some of their rantings make them sound like Turner Diaries stereotypes. Others think Ayn Rand is a blueprint for life. Either way . . .

[thereismore]

10. Selfishness has a lot to do with it. Ignorance is second. nt

[MisterP]

30. "selfish and paranoid"--ain't that the definition? n/t

[YOY]

7. Well speaking as a gamer. Many are intelligent but undereducated and inexperienced social misfits

Who KNOW they are more intelligent than the norm but not educated/experienced in the proper fields to make educated/experienced decisions.

That and they always want to play Magic the Gathering...and invest in Gold.

That fat guy at the gaming shop who claims he knows everything about everything but kissing girls (live ones)...Ron Paul to the nth power...

(by the way Gaming is both video gaming and Role Playing Gaming...no, were not all obese unkempt virgins like the steriotype.)

[Mabus]

15. I know a few intelligent but naive non-gamers who are the same way

A friend of mine and I were talking when started extolling the virtues of Ron Paul. We were on the phone and I got her to sit down at her computer and visit some websites. She was surprised and then shocked at some of his other views.

She's well-educated but doesn't know caca about politics.

9. They are furiously un-recommending this thread

Mission accomplished!

:rofl:

[YOY]

11. They're just upset that the Republicans won't accept their superiority.

And that we've been calling them assholes for years.

[jpak]

14. They are a bizarre lot that's for sure - Randian Droog-wannabees (mixing my fictional metaphors)

and louder on the intenets than yer barnyard-type Republicans...

:D

[YOY]

17. They're nothing so hip as randian droog wannabees.

Most I know have the social skills of toddlers. It's nice they can justify their greed using big words though.

[rudy23]

18. Randroids.

I saw that the other day--totally stealing it.

[DCKit]

32. Yet the cream still floats to the top.

It must be agonizing.

[blondeatlast]

12. No, most are "radical chic" sociopathic assholes. They are the '90s (not the '00s, mind you)

version of Yippies.

[niceypoo]

13. Not all, some are white supremacists

If you go to the StormFront white supremacist forums, they have a Tea Party sub forum all bragging about how they love the tea party movement.

I would post a link but the admin's would delete the post.

I sent the link to a Glen Beck loving, teabagging, co-worker of my wife that is on facebook and he abruptly stopped answering my posts.

[rudy23]

16. Nope, you pretty much have it covered .

And allow me to throw in a "privileged" for good measure.

[jpak]

19. and they believe their own made-up fairy tale lies - that's what makes me think "sociopath"

Most of them are truly delusional.

[11 Bravo]

20. Rhetorical question?

[woodsprite]

21. Yup - I'm listening to two of them right now :(

[valerief]

22. Don't touch my guns!!!! (Isn't that what most of them care about?) nt

[WePurrsevere]

25. There are quite a few Libertarians who aren't

majorly pro-gun rights and are for a common sense approach.

The way I explained Libertarians simply to my eldest DD last year was this.. 1) Many are socially rather "progressive" but are anti-gov & anti-tax. 2) If Republicans say they want to shrink government to fit into a bathtub, Libertarians want it to fit in a thimble. 3) I tend to think of a Libertarian as 1/2 Dem and 1/2 Republican... with the top half with it's brain being the Dem part. ;)

FWIW.. I don't see Libertarians and tea-baggers as mutally exclusive. I can handle left leaning Libertarians as long as we stick to Social issues like Gay Marriage, etc. Tea baggers OTOH are one of three types from what I've seen so far.. they're either sadly misinformed, dumber then a doorknob or nuttier then a year old Christmas fruitcake with thinking just as stale. ;)

[mitchum]

23. They are sexually frustrated...

even though they are being fucked repeatedly

[Rincewind]

24. Yes, they are. nt

[undergroundpanther]

26. Yes they ARE..

some of them are also narcissists and authoritarians types of various mixtures.It is their fucked up personalities they have no empathy compassion or conscience. 1 in four people are toxic that way making everyone else around them sick with their fucking pathology.

28. Narcissists, sociopaths, libertarians, they're all synonymous, pretty much. nt

[AuntPatsy]

29. No....not at all...just misguided...

[troubledamerican]

31. At least they're not Giggling Killers, like the Neocons. Just merely snarling rabid killers.

[Skittles]

33. yes

[area51]

34. Q: "Are all Ron Paul Libertarian Teabagger types sociopathic assholes?"

A: yes.
