Libertian party debate

I've also never met a true libertarian. Every self proclaimed libertarian I've ever met have fallen into 2 categories:

Desenfranchised repub or repub trying to sound unique or smart.

for example, one of my friends was a huge libertarian. Especially when it came to taxes, education, and health care. Yet, he was adament about enforcing drug laws, maintaining gay marriage/discrimination bans, and was a huge supporter of the Bush wars. So basically, he was just a desenfranchised republican. He felt like the GOP had back stabbed him with tarp.

Libertarians a repub trying to sound smart. In reality, their policies and philosophy look nice on paper but don't work in a globalized reality.

The Koch bros, the poster children for libertarianism. Even they put the whole philosophy on hold when it came to the 08 crisis. Originally, Americans for Prosperity (their mouthpiece masquerading as a think tank) was against tarp. But after a few days of stocks falling, the organization changed sides and met with members of congress to pass tarp.

The poster girl for libertarianism, Ayn Rand, was against social security and Medicare until she became old and destitute. Then, suddenly, she forgot her anti-gubbamint philosophy and joined the masses drinking from the public trough.

Again, libertarians are against gubbamint intervention until they want/need its services.

Hi, my name is Gameface. I'm a type of libertarian you haven't met yet.

I'd kindly ask you to go...Humm, I think I've been warned about this stuff... please go please yourself aggressively. Thank you..
 
I'm the type of libertarian that doesn't much like big business. I care about individual liberty, above all else.

We all own our own existence.

We all have the freedom to succeed or fail. That freedom should be extended to the banking industry. That freedom should be extended to multi-national corporations. It shouldn't be limited to the individual.

I support the rights of each human on this planet, regardless of nationality, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of gender, regardless of culture.

I support human opportunity. I support the expansion of the human experience.

I love humanity.

I am a libertarian.
 
lol, of course Thriller is being dishonest in his posts and attacking anyone not super liberal. It's what he does.

Which brand of libertarian are you? You do not come across as a socialist libertarian or the opposite an anarco libertarian.

Just so you know there are several brands of libertarianism and some are what you would typically classify as super liberal. Thriller sounds like a socialist libertarian to me he just does not realize it yet.
