Libertarians =/= Nazis

cratehorus might as well call Jews anti-semitic.

You should never believe your own propaganda, Divi Tiberio.
In other news, parties that share policies but not ideologies are not the same party.
Film at 11. In all fairness, would anyone argue that the Libertarian party is the Republican party? No. We have a defined American Nazi Party and a defined Libertarian party. They do not share the same ideology. When they do, then they'll be synonymous. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
The Libertarian party isn't even necessarily the same as the libertarian political ideology anyways.

it doesn`t matter how oftern one explains his political views or ideological background to someone.
Those who have a outright unreasonable rejection towards your views and those who ignore the rules of parlament will simply ignore the facts of your views and repeatedly troll insults and attribute negative images towards you. One can only apeal towards the smarter less easily indoctrinated part of the public or can endlessly try to educate one on ones views.

I know some fiscal conservatives who don't know what to do with themselves in the upcoming election -- they hate Romney but can't stomache the thought of Obama. One will vote Romney anyways, because he has the "Republican" label. I stopped trying to convince them to support Gary Johnson or Ron Paul, despite both candidates views being more in line with a fiscal conservative than the lunatics of the GOP.

There are a lot of fake Libertarians out there, as there are with any ideology. Likewise, there are a lot of people who are Libertarians but don't realise it.
I do take issue with the fact that the terms "nazi" and "fascist" have come to signify "anyone who disagrees with me." I think hyperbolic rhetoric such as that only deepens the political divide we see here in the U.S., but I also think that's what many people in this country actually want.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
