"libertarianism" [View all] DirtEdonE Apr 2019 OP
I read a comment Ohiogal Apr 2019 #1
Yep. And yet today we have members here who identify as libertarian. DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #2
I've used that one many times... Wounded Bear Apr 2019 #5
libertarianism, like republicanism, sounds more like a mental disease than anything else. nt DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #10
Libertarians believe no one lives downstream. WTF? n/t TygrBright Apr 2019 #3
Wrong. Greedy objectivists don't care about downstream because they are not libertarians. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #9
You seem to be a real defender of the "libertarian" cause DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #11
tRump is not a libertarian or even an Objectivist. He is a gordito. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #14
You write: "if you ever grow up". Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #15
I seem to have struck a discord with your unflailing "libertarian" mental miasma DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #20
My "mental miasma", huh. And "discord" does not mean what you think it does. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #21
Bernardo de La Paz ... DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #24
Nope. Not at all. Not one bit. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #31
Yep. He's the Lunar Bernardo de La Galt. Moonchild of ayn rand. DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #38
You are trolling. You are wrong. The character specifically states in the novel he is NOT a Randite. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #40
"libertarian" equals "randite" IMO DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #41
It's not disagreement. It's the WAY you disagree. DU members will read & know. nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #42
LOL - how can anyone tell someone else how to disagree? DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #43
The OP completely misunderstands libertarianism, sets up straw man and knocks it down with fallacies Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #4
Yawn. nt DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #6
You're right-- the two are often confused but libertarianism is all about freedom of thought... TreasonousBastard Apr 2019 #12
"libertarians" in America today have as much to do with their pure philosophy DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #16
Many who call themselves libertarian have, but that's no reason to... TreasonousBastard Apr 2019 #19
ayn rand spread more misinformation about it than I ever could. DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #22
Two wrongs don't make a right. Stop spreading the disinformation. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #32
Oh man. Defending ayn rand! DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #35
I'm not defending Ayn Rand, as all readers here can see. You are just trolling. Stop. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #37
Now you speak for "all readers"? DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #39
read the virtues of selfishness by rand with an open mind. Kurt V. Apr 2019 #7
I remember seeing the rand interview with Mike Wallace DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #8
Believe it or not, a lot of people have no clue who Ayn Rand was FakeNoose Apr 2019 #13
Could you get me an introduction to this "The Left"? TygrBright Apr 2019 #17
You have to realize, it's a "libertarian" chart DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #25
You'll have to ask a Libertarian FakeNoose Apr 2019 #26
It's what comes from trying to Igel Apr 2019 #33
Yes, many self-styled Libertarians are not libertarians (small ell). . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #18
Libertarianism is like communism qazplm135 Apr 2019 #28

libertarians: even dumber than republicans if that can be imagined. KG Apr 2019 #23
repubicans love libertarians DirtEdonE Apr 2019 #27
If we all take care of ourselves, what happens to Hortensis Apr 2019 #29
