The 24 Types of Libertarian

I’ve also heard Libertarians defined as “Republicans who smoke pot.” :wink:

Tangentially relevant GD thread: Based on their political and economic platform are the Ku Klux Klan “semi-libertarians” or not?

And support gay marriage, immigration, women’s rights to abortions, etc. At least, that’s my view as a Libertarian and all the Libertarians I know personally are the same way.

Do Libertarians even want “marriage” to exist, as a government-recognized-and-regulated institutional relationship legally distinguishable from an ordinary commercial contract?

As with all political parties there are degrees of extremism. I’m a social liberal and an economic conservative. If there’s something other than ‘Libertarian’ that defines that, I’ll gladly switch titles. :3

Hah. When I attended the Institute for Humane Studies on scholarship probably 80% of my fellow students were anti-abortion rights. After a debate on the subject one of our professors did a quick show of hands, and I expected to be in the majority…no chance. I don’t know what they thought about immigration, but I can tell you from the amount of homophobic slurs I heard addressed towards a fellow student that I doubt gay marriage would have been welcomed.

And, yes, there were almost no non-white, non-male students at this LibertarianFest. I think there were three women.

I guess I’m just one in a million, then. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d say that conservatives have made it a dirty word, rather.

I’ve cut the transcription of the comics captions from the OP, as it was a bit too extensive to constitute fair use.

Well and good; but I can’t think the author would mind, or he would not have included a textual “script” under the cartoon (what else could it be used for?).

Not to mention tediously long. Could you perhaps edit in the link I posted, which will direct people to the comic even once it falls off the front page of the site?

Getting people to his site via google.

I hope you beat him up and then stole his wallet.

Indeed, one of our own libertarians is ready to engage in fisticuffs with the anarachists.

You mean that conservatives have ruined the term.

That’s not a bad idea. Any objection from the OP before I edit his post further?

None at all.
But the impact of the “hee hee hee :D” will be tragically lost . . . :frowning:

Reported for trolling.

At last! A truly Pittable Libertarian piece of shit! Stick around, why dontcha! :smiley:

I like this Deutsch fella. Perceptive, righteously didactic, and assumes people read.

Ignored for trolling.
