Or I'll blow us all to shit with my Form 1 grenade

NAP or MAD?

Wait a sec, let me dig up my recreational suitcase nuke.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Why not both?

I respect that comrade.

An armed society is a polite society and all that, with any luck I'll be able to bring my notMachineGuns to the market soon enough.

In other news, Johnson and Weld apparently have $5 million in the bank according to an interview Weld gave the other day

Maybe, but one that quickly becomes bloody if unstable.

It's for home defence.

Unstable societies tend to be bloody either way.

Mac-11 does it better.

Of course, but guns make things easier there. Otherwise you wouldn't have them.

Will keep this in mind haha

What exactly made you decide you're a libertarian?

[Idzequitch]

Marvin Bush, the lesser known brother of George and Jeb!, has endorsed Gary Johnson

Good, good. Our power is growing.

Now if we can get someone that is more recognized to endorse the ticket, then we may be able to make a stake in this election.

Bigoted party is bigoted.

If you think that libertarianism is an ideology of tolerance and egalitarianism, you're very, very wrong.

Tolerant? Not inherently, no. Egalitarian? Depends on your flavor of egalitarian. If your talk equality of outcome, well of course not (atleast not meanstream) if its legal egalitarianism I argue it's better than most others.

So an armed society is the personification of teddy roosevelt?

Fun fact: both Snowden and Ulbrecht supported libertarian causes.

Welcome. I joined the Libertarian Party at age 17, a year before I was old enough to vote, and worked to acquire petition signatures to get the LP permanent ballot access in my state. Now, 29 years later, we have ballot access in all 50 states.

You're going to find and meet a lot of interesting and intelligent people among libertarians.

I'm pretty tolerant, am I doing it wrong?

No, keep doing what you're doing.

[USS Monitor]

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

Some parts of it were; other parts were liberating. I had been tuning out disagreeable comments about guns and identity politics from politicians I supported for so long...

Now he just needs to talk to his family and get some of them to join in and watch Republicans flip their shit.

Libertarian government should be tolerant, even if some individuals have personal views that aren't.

You have it right about egalitarianism. In a free market, some people will end up richer than others, and I wasn't complaining about that.

I think too many people confuse the definitions of "tolerant" and "supportive" with each other.

I tolerate the neighbor's dog shitting in my yard. I don't encourage it.

I was just taking your lead.

Of course, but I don't think everyone that uses the libertarian label are tolerant themselves due to things like freedom of association. Plus as Darjihad said, people tend to misuse the term tolerant. Hell it's the reason I use understand instead now, because people tend to confuse it with having put up with certain things. Then again people misuse all sorts of terms in politics. Freedom of Religion and Cultural Relativism are good examples.

Oh I know, just wanted to point out to him that there is more than one flavor egalitarianism.

Not really huge news since this rumor has been floating around for a while, but the comments made me LOL. Since I came over from the Democrats, I keep hearing how I am helping Trump by supporting Johnson, so it's just weird to see people working themselves into a lather about how it helps Hillary.

My favorite comment: "BTW - I'd love to see Romney endorse Johnson personally and get a contact buzz."

Romney getting stoned would be funny just to see how much dumb shit he would say.

I think Romney will endorse if Johnson is able to reach 15% and hold it though I think he'll need his endorsement in order to get too 15%. If Romney does endorse, then I expect others will follow.
