Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The American people continue to elect Republicans and Democrats, and it's not working out well at all. Fits the definition of insane.

The infantile ones are those who continue to insist that others be subjected to the sort of mental torture of being locked in a cage, for actions that are of no consequence to anyone else. The desire to control the lives of others is the most despicable aspect of human nature; it is little more than childish bickering with no logic behind it.

Any law that seeks to punish an individual for actions that are of no consequence to another individual is an unjust law, and ought not be tolerated!

Lots of posters here share your exact sense of "freedom". I bet you didn't watch the video, either, and neither did the posters above me
I've never once seen libertarians argue that traffic laws should be abolished.

As for Maher, his lack of ability to reason pretty much leaves him out as a source of credible analysis. I mean, if you posted this for us to laugh at Maher for his idiotic antics... then great, point them out. Otherwise, expecting us to believe anything he says, is just an insult to any thinking person.

Actually, he began calling himself a libertarian back when Bill Clinton was president, but proceed...

If you want some insanity, peruse the Libertarian Party Platform. It's a series of proposals that will never happen based upon premises that never were. Yes, let's turn to that because we have two crappy political parties that dominate our system.

It is possible to be a libertarian on either the left or the right. There is a good test on the internet, which for the life of me I cannot think of what is called. But it tested on where on the political scale you really fall. Liberal, conservative, authoritarian or libertarian. You could be authoritarian conservative, liberal libertarian, several of our presidents, Obama, bush, Nixon and a couple more I can't remember .......where, strangely enough almost in the exact same spots. Authoritarian, conservative. Some more central than others, but all on the same quadrant of the test site.
