Meet a Socialist Libertarian

[Road Runner]

I've never been more confused in my whole entire life and that's saying a lot. How is that even possible? As usual, I don't think that he even has a clue what he's talking about.

Look, RR, may I explain a few things?

• Never bring a knife to a gun fight with Kirk because he will cut you to pieces every time. Kirk is a master litigator. Be prepared to go up against him.
• When you are in your teens and 20s as this "guy"(?) was, you are at your most confused point in your life; you are exposed to so many questions yet not knowledgeable nor experienced enough yet to have formulated the answers, even though you invariably THINK YOU ARE.
• By the time you reach your 30s (with luck), you are starting to know what the right questions are. If you are aces, you might even know some of the answers.
• During your 40s, you are too busy putting your life together, family, career, wealth, acquisitions, to think about anything else.
• It is not until you are about 50 that you kinda realize what life really is and how the world really works!
• When you hit your 60s and 70s, you understand the reality of the world and all the mistakes younger people are making; problem is that by then, no one will listen to you, thus starting the cycle all over again.

Europe totes a political ideology they call "libertarian", that is actually anarchist socialism. It has nothing to do with western libertarianism.

That said, the guy leading the "discussion" in the video is a thoroughgoing douchebag.

Kirk debates kids for the most part. With all due respect, that's a lightweight bout as it pertains to debating.

Vivek debated Chick Hawk Bolton recently. That's the type of person one should be debating if they are serious.

Kirk debates (college) kids for the most part because he goes to universities to give talks being that he is more or less in their age group hoping they can thus better relate to him hoping to educate them about politics in ways their professors never will and they all want to debate him hoping to prove him wrong thinking they already know everything. I don't think a single one ever has.

Kirk also has a TV show/internet blog where he simply discusses things. I find him fundamentally sound on most everything.

I learned a long time ago the word "libertarian" is sketchy. Back in the day, the only true libertarian was Ron Paul. While I agreed with him on a lot of things, I disagreed about legalizing drugs. He completely lost me with his statement "Why shouldn't Iran have nuclear weapons? Everyone else has them."

Now anyone can claim to be a "libertarian", even left-wing anarchists and socialists.

Why? What could possibly be the harm?

He completely lost me with his statement "Why shouldn't Iran have nuclear weapons? Everyone else has them."

By that reasoning, I should have a MOAB parked in my backyard along with a pair of mini guns.
C'mon! Dammit! I promise to be good!

Today's oxymoron of the day: Socialist Libertarian ... right next to Violently Pacificistic and Vegan Meat-eater

Was that a he? I could have sworn I saw some mosquito bite boobage there, not to mention the t-shirt being worn; Regardless, what is hilarious, is when asked about the 'science' they support with trans people, they can't answer because they aren't some type of specialist. In this case, a doctor. In Jackson's case (Supreme Court), a biologist. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it.

When you're young, you have the energy to raise kids, but not always the wisdom. You're tougher, not as nice. When you're older, you don't have the energy, but you know the value of being nice.
