Would any Liberals like to have a conversation with an ACTUAL Tea Party Libertarian? The flash in
question, being made by a liberal, made the Tea Partier into a bumbling idiot.

I have many refutation to this video. Firstly let me point out that I'm a Libertarian. This is
not to be confused with a Republican as many who are unfamiliar with how politics (like the
person who made this video) actually work. Let me also explain what the Tea Party is. The Tea
Party is not Republican or Democratic but we are conservative. As this and our name Tea (Taxed
Enough Already) suggest, we are sick and tired of the government wasting money on useless
government polices and funding, illegal, unjust and useless wars. The Liberal media makes all
people who associate with the Tea Party or any one who generally just disagrees with getting
taxed only to have it spent uselessly as idiotic and bigoted retards. This is simply not the
case. We only want our money to be put to good use. Libertarianism which was also poked fun at in
this video even if not by name is something I would also like to discuss.

Libertarians (also to not be confused with Liberals who actually want less freedom and want the
masses to be reliant upon the government) are people who just want freedom. Nothing more, nothing
less. Some of us may be Christian and not support gay marriage but we also realize that not
everyone follows the same religious beliefs and it is unfair to deny them the right to marry. On
top of that we want people to be able to choose how they live their lives in general and not have
it be controlled by the government like it's beginning to be.

Us Libertarians don't want to be reliant upon the government because whenever you look back on
history you will see the corruptness in it especially in Socialist style governmental systems.
When the entire country is reliant upon the government they can be easily manipulated and
controlled which is wrong. It seems that more and more people are being convinced that the US has
some sort of force field that protects it from corruption and abuse of power which simply isn't
the case.

I personally know tea party people. Or at least self-professed republicans that believe in the
tea party's message. They are some of the most delusions and misinformed peopled I've encountered.
This is coming from someone who has a political science background and can tell the difference
between communism, socialism, and fascism.
Watching the flash literally took me back to listening to these people discuss current events.
That doesn't make the flash any less biased though.

Uh... Well, I'll just say that I don't associate with a political party. I don't see how liberals
are against freedom. It boggles my mind why anyone would think that, considering historical
context. Lincoln was a republican. Back when republicans were the liberals.
I also don't believe that government is restricting our lives and taking away our freedoms. If
you think about how complex our country is (it takes thousands of people to run a single airport,
for instance), it's not all that surprising why the government exists to regulate stuff.
It's a give and take. The more power you give to the government, the more it can do. Too much and
it will control you, ala 1984. But I don't see it happening right now. Government is horribly
incompetent just by virtue of complexity and disagreement. Government jobs are terribly
inefficient and wasteful. If anything, people are placated and controlled by their everyday
lives: TV, internet, social networks, restaurants, etc.

Also to add to that, you don't have a voice in the federal government. The college controls the
presidency. Giant corporations lobby the representatives. Government is already corrupt but it's
been that way for ages.

Liberals like Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein and basically every other senator in New York,
California and various other cities and states have been wanting to strip us of our only defense
against government tyranny. How is that not restricting freedom? Also who do you think controls
things like the TV and internet. Politicians if you work your way up the chain. They've all got
some sort of propaganda machine in their pocket whether Democrap or Republicunt. Yes I totally
agree with you though otherwise, the government is terribly incompetent. If it isn't people who
want control trying to strip me of my freedom then it's people who don't understand what in the
hell they're talking about.

Also
About your last post. The entire voting system is fucked. The entire voting system gives us a
false illusion of control. I think it's time for a change, for a more freer republic. Though I
think a Confederacy would be better. (No I'm not a redneck, yes I do know what a Confederacy is.)
Also doesn't anyone find it wrong that the only ones who don't have to abide by Obamacare are
politicians and CEO's? If that isn't corruption then what is?

and I went to a Catholic University where I was constantly surrounded and bombarded by Libtards
who are some of the most delusional and misinformed people I've ever met. I seriously had people
trying to convince me that humans have special "THC receptors" in their brains and that people's
brains are not functioning at full capacity until they have smoked Pot. I also had people trying
to convince me that the Bush Administration was, a Conspiracy by Global Elite Bankers to ruin the
country and or the second coming of Hitler. I even had a professor threaten to have me Expelled
when I turned in a presentation questioning the basis of the Anthropogenic Global Warming theory.
Of course this doesn't prove that all Liberals are delusional, misinformed, extremists any more
than your anecdotal experiences do.

I don't believe that the constitution is the end-all political document. It is fabulously written
by a group of very intelligent people. A long ass time ago. Time has moved on, so has the world.
But our political system is still stuck in past. It's like that 1970's car you just don't wanna
let go even though it runs like a tractor. Unfortunately, mine is not a very popular opinion.
Anyway, this is more /pol/ territory. I'm sure they discuss this to death.
>>2363966
I think it would help if you didn't call them 'libtards.' The only time I hear that word is when
an equally ignorant person tells me why they hate them, how they're ruining the country, etc. My
anecdotal experiences are just that. I only mentioned them because of how uncanny the entire
conversation in the flash was, though I only listen and nod when I need to.

The entire thread was more /pol/ territory but I'm not going to be a push over about it. It's
important. Of course the Constitution isn't an omniscient perfect godly piece of paper but many
of the ideas still stand today. I'll simmer this conversation though because you're right. This
is not a politics board.
I just find it pathetic how us, just because we appreciate freedom and don't agree with the
government are given such a bad rap by Liberals who can't bother to do some research.

Modern liberalism is the opposite of freedom. Modern liberalism ideals include a very powerful
central government that controls various aspects of life, usually under the message that the
government knows what's best for you and some other utilitarian ideals. However this restricts
personal freedom as well the individual's various rights, not to mention it muddles the smaller
sections of government so that your individual voice will never make it up the grapevine to the
federal government.

hings like socialized/subsidized heathcare, out of control welfare, and small business regulation
(while the larger businesses are free to sleep with the administrations and lobby the lawmakers)
destroy individualism and make everybody just a number in a giant central government, not to
mention it drains on the economy and brings wages down (unless of course they're artificially
kept up by minimum wage laws, but those won't last forever).
It's funny, classical liberalism is what libertarianism is now today, and modern liberalism is
nothing like older liberalism.

No fucking shit it's not a popular opinion. The Constitution is LAW. It doesn't matter how long
ago it was made, nor who it was made by, it was voted by a group of people representing their
respective areas and was used as the basis of what our government is. Saying to get rid of the
Constitution or to ignore it is to say throw out the government system we have as is.

Dam straight. Minimum wage laws destroy small business which are the building blocks of local
economies.
