re: Libertarian's job is to give Democrats the wins

Give me candidates like Massie and I'll vote Republican every time.

Give me Murkowskis and McConnells and I'm voting 3rd party.

You do realize that the overwhelming majority of republicans have never voted for any of them, right? I wouldn't vote for Murkowski or McConnell either, and I think it's an abomination that McConnell is the senate leader for republicans, but I'd take him over Chucky Schumer every day, and twice on Sunday.

Ahhh, utopia. The refuge of libertarians everywhere. Yes, ending the welfare state, especially for criminal illegals, is a wonderful, encouraging pipe dream.

One can get an in-depth clinic on the "libertarian" world vision just by listening to Free Talk Live.

We get it here on 990am every Saturday morning. If you can tolerate it long enough.

After enough exposure to it, they come across as liberals on Prozac.

It's perfectly alright to want as little governmental interference as can possibly be tolerated and still keep the society viable and - most importantly - safe.

Which just doesn't seem to be possible under a theoretical system dominated by libertarians.

Which according to what we've heard on that show for years is a society that tolerates unfettered drug use and open borders.

Listening to Free Talk Live, it's difficult to figure what political concepts, tenets they draw from.

Of all the available Western philosophers, they most seem to identify with Rousseau, who spoke of the "state of Nature," which in its purest form, a society one minor level above what is depicted in Lord of the Flies.

He is the only western philosopher we've heard mentioned on that show.

But it doesn't stop there. Rousseau was also the most referenced Western philosopher - after Freud - by the displaced Gramscian émigrés we were gifted with here from Frankfurt in the '30s. At least they also included Kant and Nietzsche as afterthoughts.

They only sought philosophers to add to their psychological arsenal that they viewed as most potentially destructive to western society.

Prior to that dubious group, Rousseau was also the most preferred western philosopher among the Jacobins. Another "humanitarian" group that numbered among its members Robespierre, Saint Just, Marat, and de Sade.

So whether Rousseau consciously meant to portray that the highest aspiration of a society is "license," it's how the neo-Marxians viewed it.

But then their thing was revisionism unlimited.

Other than all that, what's wrong with the picture we continue to get from libertarians.

Same. I'm not selling our any more. The best of two evils is no longer applicable.

Vote your principle.

Republicans will never change otherwise.

The trump wing of the party is big gov, big spending. You want me to support shite I don't believe in. frick that

This is self-identifying as a pussy without saying the word "pussy." It's like the conservative that makes himself feel better about sitting the political fight out by "buying more guns and ammo", as if we're ever going to have a widespread armed political conflict.

It's amazing that the two-party goose steppers are still confused about the difficulty they have in getting support.

My issue is why is it that every race is Democrat/Republican/Libertarian?

Why is there never another left wing party on the ballot? It's always just D/R/L.

The Dems figured this out in 2020 and went to court to block the Green party off the ballot in Wisconsin.

Dems: "Voting access for everyone is a basic human right... but we'll block the amount of choices you have."

When Republicans become conservative, I will listen

Its equally amazing that people still think there can be more than two viable parties in this country.

It isn't that amazing.

Pluralistic ignorance isn't a new idea.
