Blaming Libertarians

Kurt Schlichter is not blaming libertarians and Libertarians for Ken Cuccinelli’s loss in Virginia. Much.

We usually think of a libertarian as a committed anti-statist who favors very limited government operating within strict parameters that maximize individual liberty. Some libertarians fit that mold. Others just want to take bong hits and pretend to be edgy by dissing conservatives.

The bong hitters are now at 58% and going higher.

Some one could win elections with that kind of support.

    Conservative coalition building at its finest. Dissing those that share many, but not all of your political goals.

    For many conservatives, it seems that moral hectoring is all they really care about. Building winning political alliances is secondary. They’d rather lose elections if winning means they would have to moderate some of their positions.

    It is hard to build a coalition from people who beleive in freedom(libertarians) and those who don’t(social conservatives) Its like trying to build a coalition of jews and nazis! It just doesn’t work! They should join democratic party we will let you smoke dope if you alow us the social welfare state fair trade!

    crap,

    Well the Progressives are no better on a fundamental level.

    And your trade of dope smoking for thievery doesn’t seem like a very attractive deal to me.

    As Maggie Thatcher said, “Eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Then what? Usually mass murder of the inconvenient.

    The social welfare state is unsustainable. Do the math. I forgot. Progressives don’t do math.

    Who cares what that old witch said. It was no taxation without representation Not no taxation! Those who prefer greed to the welfare state and would end medicade spending on sick children to lower their taxes deserve what they get :but usually don’t get what they deserve! Now this rich angry old white trash want to stop american citizens from voting because they don’t like the way they are voting! By the way if you don’t believe in amnesty why should we give you amnesty? if you don’t care about others why should we care about you remember we will soon controll the police not you! And they shoot minorities now ;but they will shoot who ever is in power tells them to shoot! When we get in power and tell them to shoot rich old white conservitives not black men they will or be replaced by those who will! So you are right when you talk about killing not murder as it will be justifiable homicide you now like when they shoot trayvon martin.

    BTW crap,

    How do you explain Obama’s ever more vigorous prosecution of Drug Prohibition?

    And I do see you are a proponent of an ever more vigorous race war. I don’t think it will turn out the way you intend.

    It seems a little on the nose to point this out, but “Captain Arizona”, do you recognize the cognitive dissonance (not to mention bitter irony) when you imply that you’re concerned with “freedom” in your first comment and then go on a “Just wait until WE have the power” tirade in your second post?

    Progressives have no interest in freedom. Their interests can be distilled down to the desire to manipulate the State in order to control others.

    I’d suggest holding off on the race war. The other side has most of the guns and they’re more skilled marksmen (They don’t hold the gun sideways when they shoot).
