My side did do something, they ended slavery.


War to end slavery = war of northern aggression.

I wish he focused on keeping his seat in Congress as opposed to wasting time and money on seeking an office he has a 0% chance of winning.

The merits of libertarian thought are fun to discuss over a cigar or something like that but they have no business being anywhere near actual policy.

Yes when you look at the republicans and democrats you think serious and competent people who should have all the power.
Limiting government, fiscal sanity, intelligent foreign policy and preserving liberty shouldn't even be on the table.
Thanks for that thesis.

Democracy is a failed concept.

Much like capitalism it is just the system that we know works, so we stick to it.

This is a vile and disgusting misrepresentation of what I said. I have no desire to take down your pathetic strawman arguments but I'm more than happy to discuss certain principles of your ideology. Your buzzwords sound nice and all but they are effectively meaningless because most people would say that libertarian POLICIES do not achieve your goals. When it comes to policy, you need to DEMONSTRATE that your actions meet your goals.

Posting a meme is a tactic used by the intellectually stunted. This sophomoric behavior is unbecoming of someone who graduated suma cum laude from the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Childish Ideas.

Neocon loser belittles libertarianism and claims its "vile" to give him a taste of his own medicine.

How dare anyone ridicule his claim that the ideas of liberty belong nowhere near 'actual policy'.
Thats what is vile in his book, not wars of aggression and slaughtering children.

Exactly, neo-cons (french translation is fine) are missing the opportunity to sell children at the best prices on free market.
