Libertarianism in my experience tends to attract the utterly graceless. Add Jew hating to the mix and you get Massie.

Donald R. McClarey

And they still can’t understand why people vote for Donald Trump. For most of my adult life if you were conservative you had no choice on Election Day. It was between Democrat and Democrat Lite driven primarily by the mainstream press savaging anybody that wasn’t Republican in name only. They literally picked the Republican candidates as far back as Ronald Reagan. All it took was someone standing up and saying we’re not going to do it your way. That’s Donald Trump. Now Massey can go off to grief counseling sessions with Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan and the rest of the RINOs.
Amen, LKL. And we now can add RINO Extraordinaire John Cornyn to the list, I would bet, since Trump’s finally endorsed Cornyn’s opponent.
A respect for markets is a good thing, and we have an insufficient respect for them in this country. The trouble with soi-disant libertarians is that they are continually exposing themselves as people who lack a rough and ready idea of how human society functions and can function and what makes life agreeable on a mundane basis (when they’re not just playing the puerile adolescent). So, you have libertarians pushing functional pacifism, neo-Confederate historiography, Nazi symp historiography, Gabriel Koldo historiography, open borders, drug legalization, abortion, homosexual pseudogamy, goldbuggery, cop hating and the abolition of medical insurance.
Libertarianism as a political philosophy is a dead-end, and always will be until it stops rejecting fundamental truths like original sin and stops constructing gnostic playgrounds that evaporate on the slightest contact with reality. It has a weird parasitic relationship with sanity, which is why about 65% of the time it gets things right, but that other 35% just goes ludicrous speed insane into obvious brick walls.
I agree with many libertarian principles, but I think Art Deco and Jason are correct. Diehard libertarians and Ayn Rand objectivists go to logical absurdities almost always.
Which foreign country spent $11,824,741 to help Ed Gallrein to win the Republican party primary in the 4th District of Kentucky?

Massie has a lot of nerve talking about being honorable after taking that cheap shot at Gallrein.
Israel spent no money. Americans who support Israel, and I am in their number, spent a lot to beat the Jew hater.
