Finally a country with the stomach to stand up to wimps who stand around wasting public space and time complaining.

This should give these would be protesters some encouragement to get off their lazy butts and find real work instead of picketing about first world nothings.

When will America get an Abbot?

Remember it does depend on what they're protesting for, I've never personally protested as I don't see the point in it,
But if the government is truly doing something wrong is it all that wrong?

Okay, well if you knew me in real life and saw my book shelf you would certainly be of a different opinion. It isn't about the expression, this isn't a fashion show. I am part of the Left-Libertarian Alliance, which is a coalition of mutualists, agorists, voluntaryists, geolibertarians, left-Rothbardians, green libertarians, dialectical anarchists, radical minarchists, etc. We are united by an opposition to statism and militarism, to cultural intolerance (including sexism, racism, and homophobia), and to the prevailing corporatist capitalism falsely called a free market.


A "libertarian" who opposes freedom of speech and encourages government oppression.
Now i've heard it all.

That would be like a libertarian who is against women's reproductive rights ;)

Didn't you say there is some variation? You prefer big government in women's reproduction, Abbot is a libertarian that is big government when it comes to censorship.

Being for censorship, oppression and big government is antithetical to libertarianism.
Debating over whether you should be allowed to kill babies is a gray area.

We're talking about an individual controlling their body, which is fundamentally libertarian. It is as libertarian as not being a slave.

I'd call him an anarchist who opposes expression, and freedom of expression.

So you're sort of implying that by choosing not to develop a child in her womb a mother is behaving like Big Government and destroying her fetus' liberty?
