Question for the libertarians

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

If I have become a libertarian, like many claim, the libertarians should like me and my politics. I haven't noticed that.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

I would describe myself as a libertarian in the broadest sense of the world - but no I would not, as you seem entirely devoted to social issues instead of economic or spirtual ones, and when I say social issues I'm really talking about sex.

[KEmperor]

I don't think anyone sane is claiming that.

Otherwise a progressive. Then again, there are some progressive libertarians who feel that the government is maintaining the status quo by interfering...such as the war on drugs, corporate welfare and special rights for the wealthy and those in lucrative economic groups.

You should really try claiming this, it is pretty fun.  However, I love some of your policies

[Colin]

BRTD you've always struck me as an authoritarian who would rather impose your views on others than try and change opinion or work for greater freedom for people to choose what they want. So no I really wouldn't want to live in BRTD land since it would basically be you imposing your opinions on the masses.

I'm claiming it, but only because I love seeing topics like this.

Due to this response, my original statement stands.

You are not a Libertarian. On some issues you stand up for freedom. When you do that I support you but  when you stand up for socialism I don't. Also your support for freedom is not universal. You support freedoms you want but don't necessarily support freedoms others want like living in suburbs.

Libertarian is pretty nebulous. Ron Paul is actually more of a paleo-conservative and Jesse Ventura was more of a social liberal.  I don't consider myself a libertarian, a libertarian-leaning progressive or a probably a social-liberal.

[John Dibble]

Considering how much you seem to worship communists you don't exactly strike me as a libertarian.

Worship what communists? When have I even come out in support of communism?

Worship what communists?

The hot rebel variety for starters.

He seems to have an awful lot of sympathy for communist movements.

[MaC]

in their entirety, no.  There'd definitely be some good such as never having restrictions on when to buy alcohol and allowing strip clubs to make their own decisions.  However single payer health care would ruin the country.  I'm actually borderline because single payer health care isn't the absolute intrusion, though still pretty bad.

[DanielX]

Two words: Hell no. Maybe a few ideas, but as a whole your ideology is closer to Marx than Friedman or Rothbard.

I thought you were talking about me. I guess I am a little more libertarian than him, but still not a libertarian, it would be unfair to call me a classical leftist though.

I don't think he'd care about them if no such thing as hot female communist rebels exist.

Like everything else in his life, it's all about sex.

You're forgetting about booze and crappy music.
