I'm tired of the crazy libertarians spoiling it for the rest of us. I would like to have something to call myself that includes removing corn subsidies and capping medicare, but also retaining fiat currency and instituting a carbon tax.
- kiba 16y agoThey are just libertarians who take the position to the logical extreme. It's why some libertarian opponents sometime said libertarianism is very consistent. Being a moderate is nice because you get to be vague and stuff. However, being a crazy radical actually does have a perk. It make me very open to technologies in a way that's just not possible with other political philosophy.
- jbooth 16y agoI'd suggest "Democrat" :) We might not agree with libertarians 100% of the time, but we're not lunatics, we're with you on social issues, not actually that far economically, and we approach problems with the intention of solving/ameliorating them, rather than using them as social dog whistles. It beats hearing rhetoric about small gov't and then getting Medicare Part D (absolute budget disaster - and obamacare reduces the projected medicare deficit, for those keeping score at home)
- moultano 16y agoI generally vote democrat in national elections, and whoever seems most competent in local elections. The democrats at the moment seem to have a monopoly on "believing in science." So I don't really have much of a choice.
- epochwolf 16y agoI'm tried of religion being spoiled for the rest of us by a few fanatics. What is it with religion/politics/"science" that makes person urn their brains off?
