"Our community will be stronger for all our differences..."
I've seen this bullshit assertion that "diversity makes us stronger" my whole life and I haven't seen one piece of evidence that this is the case. If the left truly believed in the "diversity" they are so obsessed with, they...
I'm very skeptical about the majority of organized religious groups being compatible with liberty. I grew up in the Jehovah's Witness cult and later spent time in the Episcopal Church and came away mortified by my experiences with organized religion and Christianity. Organized religions, for...
I absolutely agree that Trump and Clinton are the utter shits and I would never vote for either, but what makes Gary/Weld much better than your average Democrat or Republican politician? If you add up what Gary/Weld have been saying during the 2016 election, I come away thinking that Gary is a...
I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that Gary Johnson is nothing more than a social justice warrior with a handful of slightly libertarian positions. That Gary comment on Rand is especially hilarious, as Rand Paul runs circles around Gary Johnson when it comes to libertarianism an...
Wow, Bill Weld is absolutely terrible. It seems that Weld has also had an impact on Gary Johnson, who has backed off and become more moderate on some issues compared to 2012.
I get the notion that big-time law partners for big firms and specialist doctors working for large hospitals not being small business folks, but a rural area lawyer or doctor with a small private/family practice is very much a small business.
I guess I'm the only one who thinks his comments about small business people are pretty short-sighted. I'd argue that small business is where the true business is in this country. I'd take a small business person any day of the week over a corporate shill.
I guess I'm kind of surprised and confused by some of the reactions of some on this thread. I 100% agree that we need to completely change our middle-east foreign policy. I also 100% agree that the Muslims in those regions have the right to decide how they want to live and what they want to...
Has the media gone batshit crazy over this or what!! I've seen nothing but fear-mongering articles from the MSM about the doom everybody is going to face after Brexit. The media and their political masters must be worried!
I think it is clear that the goal of the leftists has been to destroy Western culture by any and all means. Importing followers of a religion that hasn't had single meaningful reformation since its existence is a pretty good way to do just that. I can't fault anybody for not wanting to bring...
I totally get that line of thinking and argument and it may be the argument that makes me pull the lever for Johnson. However, if the LP does get to that magic 5%+ number, does it help that it takes running on a moderate Republican like platform to do it? What kind of message does it send to...
At this point I don't know if I could vote for Johnson. He has waffled on many big issues and Weld doesn't make me feel any better about him. Weld is a guy who supported the assault weapons ban and all sorts of anti 2nd Amendment legislation, including no handgun ownership. Weld also endorsed...
Not to get too far off topic, but how amazing is it that the Gary Johnson folks were some of the loudest Rand critics because Rand wasn't "pure" enough and not really libertarian. Yet, Johnson wants to force businesses to provide services to people against their will, has waffled on the 2nd...
