There are a lot of gun folks that at election time stay at home in protest or vote libertarian. I saw this in Virginia last November. My wife and I campaigned for months for the Republican ticket. I was flabbergasted by some of the gun folks saying they were going to vote libertarian. Some said the Republicans had a war on women and were going to vote for the democrats. If they thought the Republicans had a war on women then clearly they were to stupid to vote. If they voted for the libertarian because of any reason and they were gun owners then they cannot think outside of the box. Those nincompoops do not pay any attention to what is going on. "Oh if I vote libertarian people will think I am smart and I might be able to pick up a chick at frankies bar tonight". And some of those folks were even vendors. When I told them that McCauliffe was beholden to bloomberg and will push for laws to take you guns they said "Let them try?" So after voting for an idiot that never had a chance of winning they are ready to go to war against someone that might take their rights?????? And they would expect the rest of the folks that didn't vote their rights away like the libertarian voters did to come to their aid!!!!! Not me fella. You went to bed with a dog and you woke up with fleas.
When you have an opportunity to do the right thing and the smart thing...just do it....otherwise you are just doing the stupid thing.
Your unveiled and uninformed antipathy for libertarian (small "l") thought was
exposed in
spades a few
weeks ago Jim. Your hostility towards libertarian ideals is based so completely in ignorance as to make it nothing more substantial than unthinking bigotry. As you sit there and chide libertarian-minded people in one breath, you shill for the same Republican Party that brought us the Patriot Act, NDAA, warrantless wire-taps, TARP 1, the longest hot war this country has ever been involved in, trillions in new entitlement programs, and worse than any of that, candidates who are every bit as bad on gun rights, abortion, religious and other individual liberties, Good Lord Almighty! The list is endless of how progressive and globalist RINOs have taken over
your party, filled to the brim with people just like you who can't see the forest for the trees! You have it in your pea-brain that favoring one Republican candidate (Ron Paul) over the
establishment Party pick* equals adherence to the Libertarian (big "L")
Party's ideology, when all it meant was that the Republican
Party had given an untenable candidate for which people of conscience could never support.
*I freakin' dare you to actually listen to the video in that link, and listen to the other link in that post, and then claim that your vote means
anything to the Republican Party.
Listen up Jim: If you voted
for Romney (and would vote
for Christie if he's '16's candidate), you voted
for unconstitutional gun control. If you voted
for Romney (and would vote
for Christie if he's '16's candidate), you voted
for unaccountability at the Federal Reserve. If you voted
for Romney (and would vote
for Christie if he's '16's candidate), you voted
for trillions more in
new debt to be added to the 16 trillion+ we had accumulated by Election Day, 2012, as not one single one of the imbeciles in
your party has offered a plan to lower spending one single cent, they've only offered legislation to slow the
growth rate from 10% to somewhere between 6% and 8%
annually. You don't address debt by continuing to grow government spending at
any positive rate, you only address debt by
reducing spending, and if you think
any Republican is going to actually cut
spending, then you're more obtuse than even your ignorant bigotry for libertarian thought reveals.
Good grief, I could go on and on and on and on about what an oxymoron it is to claim you're a Republican
and a conscientious, principled American Patriot at the same time. It is impossible to be both anymore, so some of us made the choice and picked a side. My sig-line addresses that thought. As far as I'm concerned, I and several others on this board have chosen the
only truly *right* side, which is to only vote for people who represent our ideals, principles, and ideologies, or don't vote at all. If the Republicans represent those things to you, then you are a freakin' fascist. If you're just ignorant to why that statement is true, then wake the Hell up and educate yourself before you go maligning people who have spent the better part of their lives actually investigating what the traitors of
your party really stand for.
