    JFC I used to be a libertarian and I still agree with some of their values, but over the last 20 years they’ve really just become a joke. Not as much as the GOP, who intentionally associate with Cruz and MTG, but this is getting there.

    It’s like someone said “it can’t be worse than Ted Cruz and Margie…” And the libertarian is all “hold my beer.”

      They’ve always been a joke. You’ve just grown up.

      Same here.

        I used to have a buddy that said, “tell me the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian.” When I would ask what or someone would as a what. He would say, “Libertarians are just anarchists in denial.”

        Despite what you think the values are not entirely far off and both are kind of silly one believes in the government not interfering with your business until that government isn’t supporting what they want it to support.

        The other says, “I don’t want the government interfering with my business or anything at all until someone wants to run the portion the government can’t to support what the government wasn’t supporting for them.”

      I used to be, too, and still am registered as one (Only to keep myself from being counted as a Democrat or Republican which they love to lump Independents into them), but I’ve noticed the nonsense between 2008 and 2010 which is about the time the media focused on these pieces of human garbage over all the others.

      I really don’t see an easy fix, and most of what I’ve seen in history, it usually gets much much worse before it gets better.
