libertarian koch brothers support herman cain over libertarian ron paul

So you're arguing that the Koch Brothers and the Paulistas are NOT having a decades-long chickenfight about who's the REAL libertarian, and that you, as a good Paulista are NOT plastering the internet with posts in order to prove this?

Both of these things are demonstrably untrue. No point debating. The former is also the factual answer to your query "why do libertarian kochs not like paul!" Because, they've been fighting for years over whatever. That's just true.

As for the substance of the claims, who gets to wear the Libertarian secret decoder ring - I don't know or care.

However, if I promise to pronounce you the one true libertarian and the arbiter of all libertarians on Basketball BBS earth, will you promise to shut up about it?

 

Koch Industries not including the foundations and other tangent employers, have over 60,000 employees.

We need more people like that.

 

He never did. Glynch thinks that running an anti-abortion TV ad in Iowa is equivalent to advocating an anti-abortion law in Iowa.

 

Oh so running anti-abortion ads in Iowa has nothing to do with legislation. They have nothing to do with each other. The meaningless distinctions of abstract libertarianism. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin in libertarian theory?

Carry on.

Libertarianism is not trickle down. Trickle down implies some sort of basic moral goal to give the lower 99% something, when in libertarian theory they have no right to something.

 

The fact that you equate "free markets" with trickle-down is telling.

 

This statement shows that you are a slave to the cultish world of libertarianism.
You are not just in favor of reasonable freedom from government tryanny or market mechanisms when appropriate.

You have your own arcane language, thought, and as Sam Fisher says probably your own secret handshake. I know that others have no idea how perfect your system is and you are so misunderstood. One cannot possibly understand from the outside.

It is mere coincidence that many of the wealthy one percenters who largely fund the movement fsupport both typical conservative and libertarian economic arguments resulting in the same skewed distribution of wealth. They, too , like everyone else fail to understand the pure system of libertarianism.

 

I never thought Mister Obama was cool. I did think he'd make a good president. The jury is still out on that one.

 

Hey Man - I just skimmed this, it looks like a bunch of smack about how I post a lot.

I don't really care that you post a lot on clutchfans, I post a lot too.

I'm just saying you and the rest of the paulistas seem to be obsessed with denouncing the libertarian kochs as not passing your ideological purity test for libertarianism. This is kind of true, right?

That's fine that it is, I don't really care. Like I said, it seems like your garden variety intra-movementarian squabble, like Trotsky v. Lenin or Stalin whatever. To me they were both communists. To their supporters, I'm sure they had a different opinion.

That's why I offered you the plum spot of BBS Libertarian Inquisitor-Arbiter. Are you turning this opportunity down?

 

Why is Ron Paul running for president as a Republican and not a Libertarian?

 

ok I'll bite... what is Ron Paul doing running anti-abortion TV ads in Iowa then? Just trolling?

 

I don't care how often you post, you just like to post salvos of like 8 posts in a row, or so I've noticed. Maybe this is irrelevant. But anyway, it's pretty easy for me to respond to you because your warpath patterns are fairly predictable (8-24 hours of silence then -> bam shotgun blast of 3-5 posts aimed at all of your persecutors). I obvioulsy check in at regular intervals - once an hour if I'm not busy maybe?

NOT THAT IT REALLY MATTERS

 

He considers himself true Republican (claims the party has lost its way) and he knows it's his best chance to win. Nobody would be talking about him right now if he ran as an independent. It's hard enough for the media to pay attention even when he is polling second or third as a Republican.

 

Libertarians don't get to participate in Republican primary debates. Now that the committee on presidential debates has more or less made it impossible for a 3rd party to participate in presidential debates, people like Ron Paul have to affiliate with one of the two parties.

The debates are the main reason why Paul is getting so much exposure. (similar to how Ross Perot got his support from the 1992 debates) He can't get that unless he stays Republican.
