And the only reason I watch Glenn Beck is because I share some libertarian views with him (personal rights, constitution stuff)

I'm pretty sure Glenn is only a libertarian when the neocons aren't in power.

Watching Fox News is like listening to the high-school football captain about how he thinks quantum physics is all a big lie.

Ha, I disagree with you about almost everything political and economic, but this is totally true.

Guess I'm not the only one amazed by how many "libertarians" popped up since November 4th...

Ohh, I see. And his batshit insanity serves as a substitute for [insert drama show here]. Makes sense.

So you are stating for the record that you share libertarian views with a political, all be it entertaining, nutcase?

Hmmm, given both are roughly the same distance from reality, I think you could be on to something there.

Yea, I share views with a nutcase, but there is nothing nutty about protecting personal liberties and defending the constitution.

Libertarians popped up primarily because recently people are noticing that Government is getting bigger. Bush did it, and now Obama is doing it. The Ron Paul movement is largely motivated by this, the power of the federal reserve, and disregard of the constitution.

For someone like me that is economically conservative (small government, low taxes) and socially liberal (gay rights, legalized drugs, even prostitution, do whatever the hell you want) the libertarian party can make more sense than asses and elephants

Just in case you hadn't noticed .... pretty much everyone is all for protecting personal liberties (as they understand them) and defending the constitution (as they interpret its intent). Not sure why "libertarians" think they have any sort of special claim to that....

I really would like to know what personal liberties you believe require defending. Defending the Constitution...from what, exactly? Obama wants to take your guns? Obama wants to kill your grandma? Obama wants to fist your dog? Where the hell were you 8 years ago when GWB wiped his ass with the Constitution every day.

There is no problem arguing with a man. There is a problem arguing with a man...that isn't there. You show us a video of Glenn Beck going off on something he clearly doesn't understand and here you are, his tool, pushing his moronic interpretations as news.

Grow your own fucking opinion, man.
