Serious Question...how can you possibly NOT be a libertarian?

[Ronin13]

Right, the Republicans are ALMOST like the guys who want freedom and liberty. I get it.

This is why I stated what I did earlier. Most of you libertarians on here want absolutely nothing to do with the Republican party. We suggest trying to help fix the party, you throw insults and names around. We say we should be working together to defeat progressivism, you come back with "to hell with those authoritarians." Who is slinging mud here? Conservatism and libertarianism is very close, I don't know why some of you think they're on opposite sides. If conservatism is not for freedom and liberty then I guess a large portion of us on here are just complete liars. Gimme a break.

Not to hell with you. I want you to be able to be free like everyone else. I want you to have the liberty to make all choices in your life. I just know your chosen masters do not allow that.

Libertarians believe in freedom for the people to live their lives & make their own decision. Conservatives believe you should be free to make your own decisions so long as they're the same ones they would make. That's a pretty drastic difference on the most important aspect of both parties. They may agree on a few issues but they're all secondary to that one despite what the latest campaign talking points might have you believe. If the discussion was on freedom & liberties both the (R) & (D) would lose. That's why both parties are trying to distract with all this other BS.
