Libertarians vs. Conservatives: Which is worse? [View all]
I can't decide which is more annoying, conservatives or libertarians.
Conservatives are pretty much racist with an intellect rivaled only by garden tools. And libertarians tend to be either paranoid or self-centered and sociopathic. Sociopaths are manipulators. They're shallow and see others around them not as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Sociopaths are masters at influence and deception. Very little of what they say actually checks out in terms of facts or reality, but they're extremely skillful at making the things they say sound believable, even if they're just making them up out of thin air.
In 1975, Ronald Reagan stated, "I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism". I mention this because it was Reagan who injected libertarian into conservatism which created the modern day conservative ideology that we have today. Trickle down economics is more of a libertarian idea than a conservative one. It relies on fantasy and makes no sense when you actually analyze it. Add that in with Reagan's anti-government rhetoric and you get a fusion of conservative/libertarian or in other words the modern day conservative ideology.
Anyway, what are your thoughts and which do you find more annoying?
