Affordable Car Act

Uhh...
I thought the same thing.  I'm pretty sure Booley copypasted it, so it's even more hilarious.

Christ, first the Tea Party, now the Libertairians.  Every time we get a somewhat-sensible alternative to the right and left, some rgith-wing assholes take it over and twist it into some fucked-up group that it's previous supporters still rabbidly support for no goddamn reason! 

If an Independent Party was formed, how long do you think before they mysteriously began spouting pro-fundie, anti-gay, anti-governement (only when the left is in charge) bullshit?

Pretty sure the Libertarian party has been this way ever since at least the late 70s when Roe v. Wade was ruled on. It's the catch-all party for Republican voters that adore neoclassical economic policy while having at least a little brand awareness and not wanting to be associated with religious fundamentalism.

I heard a number of Libertarians that sounded pretty sensible.  Maybe they were the exception rather than the rule.

I thought they were pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and anti-religion.

The Libertarian party holds more stock in economic values than social values. They may not agree with the Republican party platform on the aforementioned issues, but they hate progressives more.

A lot of glibertarians are as regressive, if not moreso, than your average neo-con.

To the degree that libertarianism is useful, it's just trivial liberalism. Everything else in the philosophy is silly and wrong.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

Strange, as the Libertarian Party was supporting gay marriage (albeit framed as "government should not interfere with personal things like marriage" rather than "it's their human right to get married") for decades. They used to be very pro gay until recent years when the libertarian movement was hijacked by the furtherest fringe of the Right to become one big rich white male whining fest. It makes me feel sorry for Ed Brayton, who became a libertarian when it was a respectable and sane movement and has it to watch it decay really badly over the last few years.

To the point where Ann Rand and the Coultergeist are synonymous with libertarianism.

Yes another run a long line of "We may need to have a violent uprising against people having health care" that seem to be popping up more and more.
Trolling has taught me that this situation and the appropriate response is:



They will not do anything other than spout wargarble because that would put their source of funding, the GOP, in harm’s way. Call their bluff and laugh as they backpedal.

I just realized that's a picture of Donald Duck to a gun with his head about to gleefully attempt suicide.

What the hell Disney.  I'd be surprised but they had a comic dedicated to Mickey Mouse humorously attempting to commit suicide repeatedly after he thought Minnie was cheating on him.

Well, to Donald's credit, it was a dream sequence in an anti-Nazi cartoon and his character was basically some poor soul in Nazi Germany who had to kiss up or else!

The Mickey Mouse one, however..... :P >:(
