1. Wait, what? You think being a libertarian is a bad thing? Exactly what do you think a libertarian is? My last post or so gives a pretty good definition of it and frankly, I find it really hard to see what's so bad about being libertarian...
I think the poster who phrased it hit the nail on the head for liberalism, too. Some people say that Congress being able to pick and choose which laws it will obey on a whim is a good thing. I respect their opinions but I think it's a bad thing. What's next? The government itself deciding to disregard the entire Bill of Rights?! |
I'm not claiming anything about anyone in particular with this but ...
It has been my experience that many people accept the status quo based on the intentions that politicians claimed it was built on. No matter whether a program works or not, and even if it makes things dramatically worse, they will support the program based on these intentions alone. Libertarians regularly question the existance of bad programs and agencies along with wasteful spending, and this puts them at odds with anyone who blindly supports these institutions.
