Billionaire right wing brothers behind libertarianism and Tea Party

im a libertarian and ive never heard of anti-war.com - should i have?

"when occasionally put somewhat in practice..." - what the heck does that mean? true libertarian ideals have never been implemented in this country when it comes to our economy. to try and link our current economic problems to libertarianism in anyway is so wrong it is funny.

again, you dont have any kind of understanding of what libertarianism is. you told me that if i liked "conservative GOP economics than ron paul is my guy" - that shows that you really are clueless when it comes to paul and libertarian principles.

ive asked you before and you ignored me - ill ask again...

what "ideologically conservative moneymen" support paul or libertarian candidates? and is there anything inherently wrong in being "ideologically conservative"? what about "ideologically liberal"? did "ideologically liberal moneymen" support obama? if so, was that bad?

 

most libertarians (not the fox news fake libertarians) want to do away w/ the FED altogether. they believe it has too much power and is not held accountable by anyone.

conservatives are only concerned about inflation when (black) democrats are running things. bush spent more than all previous presidents and he only needed 3.5 years to do it - did conservatives complain about that?

paul wants to eliminate the FED.

republicans and democrats have gotten us to where we are and only seem to be making it worse so at this point im willing to give someone else a shot.

Ron Paul’s Shocking Message To The Tea Party
Posted on August 28, 2010 at 6:30 pm.

Ron Paul has some surprising news for the Tea Party:

You’re being taken for a ride.

At least this is what many libertarians like Ron Paul believe when they see someone like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin trying to lead the Tea Party at the “restoring honor” rally this weekend. In fact, Ron Paul believes, if you’re looking for real freedom, you should really go back to the core of the constitution and the bill of rights, which Beck and Palin do not fully endorse when you really look at their beliefs. Whether it be Palin’s support for starting more wars or Beck’s beliefs on paying the private Federal Reserve MORE interest on our money by means of a VAT tax.

Ron Paul believes in neither of the above.

Here was Ron Paul’s message to the Tea Party via The New York Times just the other day:

“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”

While the Tea Party will be out supporting Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this weekend, you wonder how many of them will be in full support of more wars and paying more interest to a group of untouchable and unauditable private bankers otherwise known as the FED? This is precisely what Ron Paul is asking the American public to consider when looking at the Tea Party leaders and see if they really stand for what they believe in.

Ron Paul believes the Tea Party is not about “left” or “right” like a lot of political pundits make it out to be. It’s about the constitution, and limited government.

 

Not all. A few influential libertarian economic blogs I read (marginalrevolution, econlog, themoneyillusion) don't favor eliminating the FED.

Eliminating the FED is still very much a fringe idea.

 

Dude, I'm agreeing with you. I just think the system is broken when it comes to reigning in spending.

 

No one knows for sure whether we're entering a deflationary or inflationary stage. Most economists would rather have inflation than have a rerun of Japan's lost decade.

 

I'm pretty darn sure we are in danger of deflation, but not inflation. The people who are scared of inflation are using a lot of flawed thinking. Just because rates are at 0 and we have tons of debt doesn't mean we are going to have inflation, not even close.

 

Hey glynch,

Your regurgitated garbage threads are getting quite annoying.

What Should We Do About A Lying Billionaire Who Dominates the Free Press? - posted by glynch 07-15-2010 09:00 PM

So what if a few billionaires have funded the Tea Party? George Soros does the exact same thing for leftist outlets like MoveOn.org and Media Matters. I don't see you crying over that kind of direct manipulation by the filthy rich. On top of that, you have no clue what is the difference between Neo-Cons and Libertarians. Please stop your campaign of nonsense and misinformation with all these identical threads.

 

thank you! glynch really is clueless to the point of hilarity. he has been a broken record for awhile wrt this stuff - and this is a guy who says that the primary reason that ron paul wants reign in military spending is that so it can be "rebated to the upper 2%".

 

im a libertarian and i have never heard of any of those blogs. i guess im being influenced by the wrong groups.

not among libertarians - its been a pretty popular position for awhile now and libertarian candidates have been running on eliminating it for years.

 

but glych says over and over again that evil big money billionaires are funding libertarians. where is all that money going, b/c it certainly isnt going to libertarian candidates?

in fact, if you follow the money it is pretty clear who big-business, wealthy elites and international corporations favor.

 

Rep this man. Thank you for clarifying the stark differences between the neo-conservative Republicans and libertarians. Unfortunately the media seems to put these 2 groups in the same light sometimes, and it infuriates me to no end. Libertarians are much different from neo-cons.

 

And glynch, based on every anti-libertarian post you've posted, you know nothing. Have you read any actual libertarian literature? Obviously not. Your posts are beyond ignorant and insulting --- they make you look childish.
