Conservative Libertarian Michelle Bachmann speaks..

[reverendjeremiah]

Sorry, but that is a nonsensical combination of words, regardless of what country you are in.

I have already AGREED with you five hundred times that they are non-sensical words and even called them "frankenstein words" in my last post. How much more do I have to say that I agree the title is fucked up before you realize that I think the words "conservative Libertarian" is fucked up.

So what do you want me to do about it then? They use this title in American politics now wether you like it or I like it. Should I ignore them when they call themselves that? Libertarians ARE voting them in. Sure, I am willing to bet my next 5 paychecks that you, adrian, and most of the libertarians voting for them also think the word "conservative libertarian" is fucked up as well, and that the people dont stand for the social values of Libertarians, but that does NOT, for one SECOND, take away from the fact that most AMERICAN Libertarians are members of the teaparty (I know, I know, Void, I know where your stance is.), that many AMERICAN Libertarians will vote Republican because their economic views eclipse their social views (I KNOW, I KNOW VOID.. they arent really Libertarians), and that some who have claimed to be Libertarians such as Ron Paul have easily switched over to the Republican party (I KNOW, I KNOW VOID..Ron Paul isnt a true Libertarian).

So what do you want me to think? That these people arent true Libertarians?

Fine, Done. They arent true Libertarians. They are merely fake Libertarians claiming they are Libertarians when they vote for people like Ron Paul and many neo-cons in the Republican party.

You dont want me to even put the name "Conservative Libertarian" on them? Fine, done. Now what? Ron Paul isnt a true Libertarian and he isnt a "conservative Libertarian" because that word isnt true either. He is merely someone who has run for the Presidency twice. Once as a Libertarian condidate, and once as a Republican candidate. But he isnt a Libertarian. FINE!

Now what? What am I supposed to think? What am I supposed to say when I see these AMERICAN people, who obviously are lying to me by claiming they are Libertarians, and are voting for people like Ron Paul (who ran on the Libertarian ticket), Bachmann, Palin, and even openly brag on Libertarian forums that they are members of tea parties. I even posted a letter from the Libertarian party itself asking if its members have joined their local tea party.

Am I to think the Libertarian Party itself isnt really Libertarian now?

What do you want me to do, say, and think about this Void and Adrian, that will make you happy?

Oh, so Glen Beck is the dictionary now? Thanks for pointing that out. I guess If we're going to use Glen Beck as our source of linguistic integrity then half the world are Nazis! Hey Nazi, how are you today? Woah look at that Nazi healthcare! Damn, that's a fine looking Nazi Cheerleader! Hey, I want gays to marry, fuck I'm a Nazi!

Straight from the Libertarian Parties official blog on Glen Beck and his "becoming more and more libertarian every day". Not one...single...bad....thing..is mentioned about Beck.

I look at it this way. You, Void, claim you are a true Libertarian. Thats fine. Im not going to question you on that statement in this post.

I just noticed how a true Libertarian such as yourself took right off on putting Glenn Beck in his place, to ASSURE me that Beck isnt an authority when it comes to Libertarians..yet I dont get that feeling when I search Glen Becks name on the Libertarian Parties official web site. In fact, I have yet to see it. In fact I see nothing but praise for him when I search for his name on their site:
(http://www.lp.org/blogs/donny-ferguson/l...s-near-you)

But Root isn’t the only one spreading the libertarian message in the mainstream media with “The Conscience of a Libertarian”. Glenn Beck, popular Fox News Channel personality and host of one of the country’s biggest radio programs now proudly declares he’s becoming “more and more libertarian.”

..and...

*at the Glenn Beck D.C. Rally* While I think Glenn Beck holds some Libertarian views, he strays on some issues. Some passersby mentioned having taken the Quiz on Beck's television show. Of that informed group, some eagerly accepted the bumper stickers and quiz cards, while others were clearly against us.

Should I take you word, Void, or should I take the word of the big wigs of the Libertarian Party on Glen Beck?

Right, but you wouldn't be calling them "progressive conservatives" or complaining about "progressives" because of the policies of these self-defined "Progressive conservatives", nor would you be making a thread entitled "Progressive conservative Michele Bachman does x"

Are you aware that there are a few parties world wide who call themselves "Progressive", but arent socially liberal, or even economically moderate for that matter? I am. I would not say they are NOT Progressives. I would say they arent what we Americans call Progressives. Surely you can appreciate this difference...of course I would admit that their party name is "progressives".

Rev J. - Dont blame me..this is what Glenn Beck has done, and he made that frankenstein of a word, not me.

Void - Yeah the fact that you propagate it has nothing to do with you! Shut up Nazi! Oh, you're not a Nazi? well it's not my fault, that's what Glen Beck has decided you are.

It's not even analogous to a Frankenstein, it's more like saying Glen Beck created a Square Circle.

But not only is Glenn Beck pushing it, but the Libertarian Party itself is getting on board with it. Granted, the Lib party may only have one leg in the "conservative Libertarian" car ride, while they hold the other out to drag..but regardless, they are in that car.

So what am I supposed to think Void? Ignore the Libertarian Party webside and take your word for it?
