Is libertarianism compatible with religious fundamentalism?
Why is it that so many people are afraid of even trying?
Even if Mike Huckabee is John McCain’s running mate, could I possibly vote against the Republican candidate any faster?
Given the ongoing poverty of CM Steve’s Price’s worldview, do you think my new movement, 3LF (3rd district Liberation Front) might successfully petition for foreign intervention in our council district?
If a so-called Democrat won’t vote for Barack Obama because Obama is black, then why doesn’t the racist Democrat simply register as a Republican and dispense with the hypocrisy?
1. No. Libertarianism isn't even compatible with libertarianism in a lot of cases. It's like trying to define freedom and well know that could lead to a lot of wasteful spending.
ReplyDelete2.
3. If you figure out how, let me know.
4. By his standards, you are foreign intervention.
5. Dan Coffey's been elected more than once. Pot and kettle, meet the mirror. Just don't call it black.
Is libertarianism compatible with religious fundamentalism?
ReplyDeleteI’d say ‘no.’ From what I understand about libertarianism is that it is, in its purest form, a ‘live and let live philosophy.’ There is a concept of freedom to allow people to pretty much do their own thing unless it interferes with another person’s rights.
Religious fundamentalism, by design, is ‘right (correct)’ about everything including how other people behave. As a result, they seek to have everyone behave in one set way. A little simplistic of an answer, but I think it is accurate.

M. Scott Peck in his wonderful book, “The Road Less Traveled” pretty much summarized this as the result of his view of the consummate ‘sin’ in society. It is the sin of inertia or laziness. I have seen this manifest itself all too often in philosophical and political discussions. People are looking for easy answers instead of stretching their brains. People are afraid of trying because they are too lazy to ever begin the process-----and too insecure to not be able to withstand criticism.

Maybe the word ‘especially’ instead of ‘even.’ Mike Huckabee seems like a nice guy. He even apologized very well when he made his foolish comments in Louisville. The problem I have with him is that in watching his campaign the only things I knew for sure about him were that he’s anti-gay, anti-abortion, and pro-Christmas. Frankly, I need a bit more than that in a candidate.

The French Foreign Legion perhaps?

It’s sad that racism exists in any form. Sad thing is that my parents were hard core Democrats and racists. I suspect that the ‘isms’ are present in both parties. Sadly.
1. No
ReplyDelete2. They are afraid of looking like Hillary
3. Yes, if it was Ron Paul
4. Hamas?
5. Because hypocrisy is a Democratic calling card.
Damn, Merle ... I caught a carp.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the carp readership.
