Van Jones Makes Vitriolic Comments Towards Libertarians

[Diurdi]

No he doesn't.

I think CaptUSA:s point was that he knows full well this is not what Libertarians are, and is talking out of his ass so that the OWS fleabagger audience never takes a look at libertarianism or free markets ever again.

This is the ignorance we're up against folks... we can win, but it starts first with calmly and rationally educating people.

Just remember no one likes to be told they're wrong (including us) so arguing with people and winning said arguments is not how you win supporters, the best way to get people on our side is to hear them out and then calmly point out how we all actually want the same things it's just that we think we have the best approach to getting those things.

It has been associated with the Republican Party for a very long time and in a good way. But, you are right, the term will be co-opted unless we finish the job that we set out to accomplish. For me, however, I care less about the term than I do the goals.

Sort of. Republicans generally pick and choose which principles of libertarianism are acceptable to them and their electorate. Otherwise very few of them would be elected. Reagan claimed that "the heart of conservatism is libertarianism" (or something to that effect), but I wouldn't call Reagan a libertarian at all.

It's so outrageous that it is funny.

I can't speak for all libertarians, but I don't hate all the different color people. I do however, lean that way on Van Jones.

Republicans have never had the stomach to take on the welfare state head on. Libertarians on the other hand............. This trend is why the institutionalized left is freaking out, in that they're met their true enemy. Theoretically, there are no deals to be made since most libertarians are so idealogically entrenched in their quest to destroy this patronage system both home and abroad.

And a lot of young people are figuring out that the promises made by the left are empty and bankrupt that they have no intent on delivering. So, if you are gonna pick an ideology you might as well pick the one that promises you nothing except the freedom to do what you want as long as you dont hurt others rather than the one that is going to steal, stymie and lie to you.
