No.

You either can't understand the answer, or you're ignoring it. I think you can't understand. Regardless, when something has been answered and you ask the same question, only for it to be answered again 20 times, but the last time, nobody has patience to deal with you anymore, it doesn't make you right lmao!

Lol! Hardly. I used to be a Libertarian. I used to be a die hard Ron Paul guy. I am who I am today, because I am perfectly capable of weighing out both sides and listening to other people's views.

I think you're projecting.

Sure you were. And I used to be a liberal!

But I haven't really paid all that much attention to Ron Paul. I know who he is, but that's about it. For some reason people seem to think he's like the voice of it or something. I guess people just like to have a face to put to the label. Whatever floats your boat.

Exactly this, my political views have run the gambit: from mainstream republican, down to libertarianism and anarchism, back up to moderate independents, to democrat, to communism and back down from that.

Something tells me benny hasn't changed his mind in a while.

He named his son 'Rand' after Ayn Rand, who is widely regarded as a prominent voice in Libertarian philosophy. He espouses her views, and so does his son. They are the most prominent governmental figures in the Libertarian movement, aside from Ted Cruz.

You like calling everyone who disagrees with you a liar. I remember watching Ron Paul run, and I was completely up in arms about the way the media treated him. I still am to this day, even though I don't agree with his views. It was wrong.

Yeah, thats why we discuss things. However everyone I talk to on the right is a poorly informed slogan slingin fucking idiot who hasn't given any issue more than 2 seconds of thought. The more I thought about Libertarianism in practice, the more I realized it was a ludicrous philosophy based on a host of faulty premises.

Then I look at the giant crony financial interest groups that support Libertarianism, and it is clear that this philosophy is geared toward the disempowerment and dissolution of the middle class.

Its fairly easy to tell when someone is spouting lies, if you know how to look. You're lying, and so is the ecstatic, about your previous "political views". In a pitiful attempt to somehow gain credit. Its not working, and its only making you both look a lot more foolish than you already did.

You have no idea what libertarianism even is, if you think that your last paragraph even comes close to the truth. You're so far off base that you've its gone past you just being ignorant about it, and into the realm of you've never even heard of it. And truth be told I don't particularly like to call myself a libertarian, because I'm not really one for labels. I do hold several strong libertarian views, and I probably hold more libertarian views that anything else, but its really not something I just go around advertising.

Another way I can tell you're lying, and just sucking down as much leftist propaganda spunk as you possibly can, is because you do nothing but repeat their talking points. Its like you're a mouthpiece for them. They've got you comin' and goin' son. Hook, line, sinker, and a good portion of the pole.

It's funny, conservative and libertarians have never had to "rebrand" themselves... Socialists, progressives, liberals, keep changing what they call themselves trying to convince the masses it's some new profound ideology, when really it's just the same ol crap...

What's also funny, is that they seem to think no one will notice. They must think that everyone else won't recognize it for the same thing. Its like they think everyone else must be as dumb as they are.

Exactly, and it is often those who advocate that disempowerment of themselves and their peers that are so ready to label any opposition to their views as the sheep.

close, they actually just think they're smarter than everyone else, as evidenced many times in these threads in this subform, when you don't agree with them, they say "well you CLEARY don't understand" or "Ive traveled and seen so I know and you don't" or pick on what part of the country you live...

ya see, the masses don't know whats good for them, if left to their own decision making, they would always make the wrong choice, so we actually NEED them, for our own good, of course...
