Liberty Quotes
When the far Left was a global force, the mainstream liberal Left had to draw dividing lines and defend itself from its attacks. Now that the far Left threatens no one, the borders have gone. The media would hound from public life any conservative who shared platforms with members of a neo-Nazi group. But respectable leftists can now associate with those who would once have been regarded as poisonous extremists — and no one notices.

An oldie and a goodie – hadn’t seen it for years.
Bloody hilarious.
Libertarians can’t live by argument
says the man who has never actually won an argument on this site!
Everybody’s a Libertarian when it’s the government forcing them to do or say something they don’t want to. Actual Libertarians still think it’s wrong when the jackboot is on the other foot.
I say this as a non-Libertarian: I find it exceedingly hard to argue against their general proposition with regard to government, apart from the feeble-sounding but IMO important caveat that some people need rules.
where do you find them Sinc??
