They know what it means to them. It means that they are not likely voting for their party so they must be minimized.

The libertarians I have met all pay more attention to themselves than to common sense. All of them want some government protection or services but do not want to pay for it. They are a bunch of selfish brats.

And I would politely direct those other 61 () to Robert Wenzel's helpful reading list; assuming you have any interest in learning what libertarianism is, reading one of those articles a day (30 articles, for a total of 30 days) should enable you to grasp the basics of what libertarianism is. I don't expect you to become a libertarian, but maybe, just maybe, you might be able to discuss libertarianism on this type of thread instead of some other topic that has nothing to do with it.

Above is a good example of a thread contributor who would benefit from such a program.

You mean like how you are always advocating for raising taxes on other people? You mean like how you're always declaring that other peoples' speech that you don't like is hate speech? You mean like how the rights you like, such as gay marriage and abortion, need to be constitutionally protected, while the rights you don't like, such as smoking and firearm ownership, need to be restricted? Is that what you mean by not getting a taste of the medicine you prescribe for others?

Nowhere did I ever say that. Even if I did, that is a far milder dose of medicine than what Dooley prescribed, which is an abandonment of military rules of engagements (which almost always means bomb and shoot first, ask questions later and involves large amounts of civilian deaths and destruction).

Keep crying rivers though. Your tears of fake outrage might actually end the drought in the West. The only thing you'll ever be good for.

Obviously, against the dog. Quit playing dumb.

It could be a violation of the eliciting laws.

"Interpretation" is 9 points of today's control insanities.

Liberals used to say that a criminal was a victim of society.

Now they say, "You didn't build that", society did."

Full fk'n circle, now.
