    If all you've read is "lower taxes" then you're voting on pure ignorance. Because that's not the Libertarian platform. And that's your problem. Lol, you're confused. I'm for gays having a legal bond. Kind of fucked up your argument there eh. Got any other axes...lmfao.

    Oops...I'm not a Republican...lol.
    Um, here?

    O RLY? Where is your "source" that they don't say lower taxes:

    Libertarians advocate freedom in economic matters, so we're in favor of lowering taxes, slashing bureaucratic regulation of business, and charitable -- rather than government -- welfare.
    How you gonna argue against that?

    Actually... there's a ton of posts of you hating on gay rights:

    Sure, and that's why marriage should remain the way it is. At least one more reason.

    And to that degree it's unnatural.

    Slippery isn't it.
    You do know that slippery slope is a logical fallacy.... right?



    No, you're just an idiot who says that every other person's political views are wrong even though you don't know your own, besides Obama sucks and hating on gay rights. So how exactly aren't you Republican??

    So since you don't know much about the Libertarian platform. I'm going to ask you a question you're going to have to go look up.

    How do the Libertarianans plan to educate children?

    You guys really need to read up on the theory and platform of libertarianism if you're going to continue to refer to it or it's adherents.

    Where does it say they want no taxes? I've just seen lower taxes. Do you not like lower taxes?

    I think your main problem is allowing people to enjoy freedom without socially conservative laws telling them what to do. Like gays being able to marry.

    Can you keep exaggerating this further?

    I think your main problem is allowing people to enjoy freedom without socially conservative laws telling them what to do. Like gays being able to marry each other. And allowing people to actually be happy would lead to such chaos! You want smaller government and lower taxes, and I don't know of many conservatives who want more regulations, so you align decently enough on that side of things, but the major difference is the social liberty. If people no longer have to choose Democrat to support socially liberal ideals, then the Republican party will continue to take a huge hit - and that is maybe why you are so negative towards giving the people what they want but can't get.

    So if the President removes any elements of government or regulation, then the country instantly spirals downward in a pit of hell and Anarchy?? You certainly go off the walls with ridiculousness. I can't believe you are advocating against freedom from bureaucracy controlling your life.

    So then I've been advocating Anarchy this whole time? Is that correct?

    The more government you remove the closer you get to Anarchy. Libertarians want to remove the vast majority of the government we have. It's that simple. Now it's your turn to fly off the handle as you usually do and do all you can to make an opposite argument.

    "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the [federal] government." ~ James Madison
    So do you think that charity should be a private endeavor and not legislated by the government?

    But hey, you like making claims based on your tinfoil logic, so we're used to you not making any sense.

    They're as close to Anarchy as you'd ever see and shit would go to hell.

    That's what I did, I voted for Jill Stein. If I were in a state like Ohio or Nevada, however, strategic voting would be a necessity and I would cast my vote for Obama.
