Right-wing Libertarianism

The Kicker of Elves said:
i do agree that there are many embarrassed republicans that might call themselves libertarians, but those people aren't actually libertarians, they are just stealing the name for themselves. I have never seen a libertarian not endorse gay marriage or ending the drug war, two things that are very anti-authoritarian.

Libertarians have actually been way out in front on social issues, far ahead of democrats.

He could be referring to someone like myself. I'm a registered Republican but I consider myself a Republican with libertarian leanings. That description has nothing to do with being embarrassed about being a Republican.

And to echo what others stated above the OP clearly does not understand Libertarianism or what constitutes authoritarian government if they believe that is what Libertarians support.

I want to know how legislating and advocating for less government with less power somehow makes it advocating for more government with more power.

do you even know what authoritarian means? Because from your statements I am not sure that you do. What part of wanting a smaller non-interventionist government is authoritarian to you?

The author is writing about the right-wing, anti-EU UK Independence Party, but the right wing libertarian antipathy towards gays and immigrants reveals their authoritarian streak which applies to much of our republican base also.

I think he's hit it on the head...very good description of what we're dealing with in this country.

Marxists/Democrats/Republicans are not liberal.

Liberal comes from the word liberty, and Marxists/Democrats/Republicans hate liberty.

gee whiz. I guess that, like you, most everyone here is afraid of freedom. Thus the ignorance of Libertarianism. how many more laws, regulations, and government agencies do you think the country needs before we clearly differentiate us from Somalia?
