There's nothing contradictory about a socially conservative libertarian.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Can socially conservative libertarians join?

So long as we also allow the socialist neoliberals and authoritarian anarchists.

Critique: The "authoritarian anarchists" bit is redundant, being already covered in the phrase "socially conservative libertarians."

Just taking it to the extreme (libertarian to anarchist, soccon to authoritarian).

Yeah, I know. I was just taking a cheap shot at social conservatives and libertarians.

It's the Lord of the Rings of wars.

How about In Remembrance of Wars Past/In Search of Lost WMDs?

There's nothing contradictory about a socially conservative libertarian.

Nothing contradictory at all about someone calling themselves part of an ideology that believes in personal freedom as well as one that attempts to ban such personal freedom?

just like Americans to joke around about such things.

Depending on how it's defined, social conservatism doesn't necessarily involve banning things.
Now, back to the funny . . .

Context is crucial:

I live in Canada.

You can be personally very socially conservative without believing that government should enforce those personal beliefs on others.

It was originally in reference to Pingvin...

[So the Heroes Fall]

Yeah Pingvin's initial statement implying he's any type of libertarian, even a supposed socially conservative one is the most absurd and actually quite funny thing about that statement.

[Governor Scott]

Can socially conservative libertarians join?

So long as you are pro-civil liberties, etc., anti-wiretap, and the like, you are welcome to join! 

I'm a social conservative on abortion, marriage, drugs. I strongly oppose wiretapping and any kind of cenorship. Can I join?

Context:

Pretty low. He clearly had a degree of talent, but never really applied it and instead just churned out the usual uninspired society portraits and the like.

[For Oklahoma]

Do you think Ron Paul is capable of running as an independent candidate?

Ron Paul is capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound, halting a powerful locomotive, and outrunning a speeding bullet.  Of course he is capable of running as an independent candidate.

[Emperor SJoyce]

What is a "regular Republican" these days?

[One that doesn't want to] end all foreign policy. Or literally abolish half of the federal government.

Paulites are historical revisionists. They have to be, considering that their ideology was proven not to work nearly a century ago.

[True Federalist]

Why are we squabbling over grammar? 

It's the 2012 board. Count your blessings.

[For Oklahoma]

The wife is not a registered voter.  She won't vote.  The boy is 7.  If he could vote, he'd be voting for more TV, a later bedtime, and violent video games.  There's also a hermit crab who lives here named Mister Frederickson.  We bought him at Petsmart about a month ago for my son.  He came with a two-week warranty.  He has outlived his warranty by at least 15 days.  To my knowledge he is fairly apolitical as well.  All of which means that 100% of my immediate family will vote for Mitt Romney.

[SPC]

Not so much the content of the quote, more the fact that he is trying to sell Romney by saying he would be the same as Obama.

Also, Obama's foreign policy still suits me, and some of his domestic agenda does.

I've yet to meet anyone who can seriously tell me that Obama and Romney would have different foreign policies.

[SPC]

Problem with Gary is that he's kind of effeminate and that could alienate the paulist vote.

yes, after all, Dr. Paul's machismo is a major draw for his supporters.

[Landslide Lyndon]

well Williams made no mention of his support for Romney so let's put him down as "persuadable"

[State Comptroller Atkins]

For now.

Yes, people will warm to Romney's speech some time around October of 2074, when the revisionist historians have their chance to truly examine what it really meant for people living in the year 2012.

[For Oklahoma]

These ladies need to cut it out with the botox. Jesus Christ.

I'm getting really tired of your War on Women, Lief.

[Lief]

To be fair, black people LOVE twitter.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Ok, my friends and I were watching C-Span and were playing a drinking game with Michelle's speech. Whenever they showed a white guy in the crowd (or a woman with a flamboyant hat) we drank. We much more after 1 minute of the prayer then during the whole speech.

You're not going to last a minute on any drinking game if the target is "showing a white guy on TV."

[Landslide Lyndon]

Instagram crashed...maybe do to the DNC?

More likely due to an overload of Labor Day BBQ leftovers pictures.

[Joe Republic]

It's nothing compared to that D-WA guy talking to himself in the Washington megathread
