Brain farts and moments last about the same amount of time
…and are just as relevant after the smell dissipates.

Never strike a donkey, Sally.
Clearly, libertarians reject a collectivist definition of what libertarianism actually is.
Shouldn’t individuals have the liberty to come up with their own private definition of libertarianism?

“Libertarian” is a good out for people who are either A: Utterly embarrassed to be thought a Republican or B: actually liberal stuck in a Red state who don’t want to upset the neighbors.

The ones around here want to grow weed for a living and not pay taxes on their income. They want the rest of us to subsidize them. Small government my ass.

I love that Libertarians are so mush-brained that their principal “belief” only gets 56% support.
This is what happens when a bunch of stoners think they’re economists.

Libertarians are simply Republicans who want to smoke dope and get laid.

“But his stance on using drones is exactly the same stance President Obama has.”
Actually, its not. The piece this article left out, which most do, is the quote he made about a week later during the search for the Boston bombers where he advocated using drones to kill people suspected (not convicted mind you) of robbing liquor stores. Not even remotely in the same ball park as President Obama’s stance.
As noted elsewhere in this thread, libertarians by and large are republicans who just don’t like to associate themselves with the name brand. They vote overwhelmingly republican, and besides one or perhaps two views (like smoking pot) they views are pretty much text book republican on every other issue.
That’s not a new political affiliation. Its being a republican and disagreeing on one issue. Certainly considered heresy by many that make up the republican base today, but still not a new party.

Good point DaveyJones. Randy’s stance on using drones is actually more extreme than Obama’s. Good point indeed.

Of course, and not surprising. The notion has always been an ivory tower one, and as such, it is very malleable to accommodate any belief or dislike…at least until it gets down out of the tower closer to the road…which it will never do.

Indeed, they should be free to create private enterprises that custom design definitions of libertarianism for others and then print them out for them on 3D printers and deliver them to their door by private courier.
Um, does Kickstarter take Bitcoins?

Careful not to insult stoners by lumping them all in with so-called Libertarians.

Not all stoners are libertarians and not all libertarians are stoners, but all weed dealers who are also colossal douchenozzles are libertarians.

I know I tossed that out there for what appears to be spite’s sake aimed at Paul, but its actually to make a bigger point about him.
Putting aside the discussion of the “Libertarian Movement”,Paul has shown repeatedly that he is willing to sing whatever tune he thinks the crowd in front of him wants to hear. And if he doesn’t know that song, well…run off stage as fast as possible. He has no principles guiding him, besides a desire to, as is becoming cliche for many republican candidates, to one up his daddy and win the primary.

Btw, this is when we reap the benefits of the suffering we’ve endured for the new commenting system. If TPM was still on Disqus or Livefyre (is there still a Livefyre?), we’d be ass-deep in comments from Dr. Paw’s Commenting Force of Extwaowdinawy Magnitude.
Josh has our gwatitude.
