Are you going to call anybody even remotely right-wing an asshole?


No. Only ones that have irritating personalities or backward social views. If someone is just into right-wing economics without the social baggage, I don't think that makes them an asshole.

I believe abortion (and pretty much all the other wedge issues as well) should be the domain of state governments and never the concern of the federal government.

I don't care for and will not participate in an abortion debate, other than to say abortion violates my interpretation of the libertarian non-initiation of force doctrine.
Feel the Harding, Feel the Coolidge, Feel the Johnson
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers." - Calvin Coolidge, July 4,1926

Since Libertarianism is against things that violate the Non Agression Principle (NAP), does it support the rightful Argentine claim to the Malvinas, which illegally sent in univited english pirates.

Yeah, as a Sanders supporter, I would prefer if Johnson wasn't so enthusiastic about budget cuts and right-wing economics. I mean, I thought Sanders was a bit overambitious with the tax-and-spend social programs, but Johnson is too far the other way, and it took a real mental adjustment when I switched over to supporting him.

"mental adjustment"

That sounds sort of uncomfortable haha

Sanders supporters who thought he was perfect and agreed with all of his policies are probably not going to come over to Johnson, for the same reasons that Sanders himself is not going to endorse Johnson. But Sanders supporters aren't a hivemind. Some of us weren't quite as far left as Sanders himself. So you'll get different people going in different directions now that Sanders is out of the race, and Johnson can pick up a few votes by reaching out to Sanders people. Most will go to Clinton, though.

Johnson won't help poor people. In fact, if he'll probably make their lives worse. Do you know what he thinks of the TPP?
