Title: Libertarians on Liberty’s Post suppress dissent – Sad.

Libertarians on Liberty’s Post now find it perfectly acceptable to pursue the tyrannical practice of blacklisting anyone whose words offend their delicate sensibilities.

Unfortunately these narrow-minded individuals do not realize that the best remedy to validate their political ideology is to catechize remarks that disparage it by subjecting them to the crucible of open debate and rational inspection. Libertarians continually fail to show tolerance and adhere to cherished “libertarian” values while abdicating all confidence that their ideas will handily defeat opposition to their philosophy.

Libertarians propose the impossible and internally contradictory notion that they can support their cause with the angry suppression of free speech from anyone who speaks against them. They feel the remedy for comments and ideas they oppose is not the free and open debates of civil society, but a need to resort to Orwellian speech codes of an authoritarian dictatorship. Here, again, libertarians reveal their philosophy is a radical departure from a normal society and their unique iteration of fascism shares many of its historical and ideological roots.

Freedom of speech is arguably a most cherished value and the bedrock of a genuinely free society. The entire process of education and the freedom to challenge ideas is, and must be, predicated on unbridled freedom of speech and expression. Without this most cherished freedom, supporting and challenging ideas cannot be examined and assessed for their value and we will therefore live in a benighted world in which ideas are lost forever….flushed down the memory hole as too dangerous or offensive to the dainty sensibilities of libertarians who find these words offend them.

The validity of libertarian notions has been questioned and a morally consistent application of libertarian premises has been challenged in order to show why libertarians are mistaken about what their ideal requires. Libertarians generally defend the ideal of freedom from the perspective of how little one is constrained. Yet pragmatic criticisms of libertarianism now go unanswered because libertarians have moved to silence free speech. Sad, but so understandably predictable based on their rhetoric and actions.

Most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle. We are defeated in one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we really should be.
Pathetic …

He doesn't like our liberty to ignore his statist rants. Maybe that is at the root of his general hatred of liberty.

" Libertarians on Liberty’s Post suppress dissent – Sad. "

Uh guys. Is someone delusional, hallucinating, or have they been consuming copious amounts of illegal substances ???

Last I heard, Liberty's Post is closed, and has been for some time now. Maybe whoever posted that title is a closet druggy, or has really serious mental issues !

Be best for that person to not try to operate a motor vehicle, or handle sharp objects ! Stay in his wheelchair !

His cheer leaders should reconsider their following him. He appears to have lost all grasp of reality !!

Paraphrasing –

Uh, Stoner. Are you “delusional, hallucinating, or have they been consuming copious amounts of illegal substances” ???

Last I remember, there is no “Liberty’s Post” and there never was a “Liberty’s Post.” However, there was a “Liberty Post”.

Maybe whoever posted “Last I heard, Liberty’s Post is closed, and has been for some time now is a closet druggy, or has really serious mental issues.”

Stoner, since you wrote “Liberty’s Post” is closed, then common sense must dictate that you meant to write “Liberty Post” is closed....instead of writing “Liberty’s Post” is closed.

A typographical error (often shortened to typo), a mistake made in the typing process (such as spelling, misuse of tense, leaving out a word or using a wrong word) is not an uncommon mistake, and I can understand how it happened to you.

I can’t write “Liberty’s Flame” and neither can you write “Liberty Post”.

Touché ...

Hey dumbass. I did not "write" anything !! I simply copied and pasted what YOU wrote, in the title of your article.

You are truly one DUMB MO FO !!!

You only good here for being a boil on this forums ass. You are like a monkey flinging poo / gatlin at everyone here.

I have wasted too much time on a asshole such as you !! I am done! GO AWAY !!

He'll never admit he made a mistake.

He's here to troll and disrupt - nothing more.

I think he enjoys being an asshole, just like GrandIsland.

He certainly does that well !!

This used to be a enjoyable board, until he came back. He is like some monkey coming into your house, and he poos in the floor, throws it around the room, smears it on the walls, breaks dishes, turns over furniture, etc.

It is amazing to me why someone would expend that much time and effort to do that. To what benefit ?

Must have a real shitty life. Definitely a small mind. Probably has no family, and no friends. A real shame. As much of a nuisance as he is, I pity him !

Admit, you can’t show any….ADMIT IT.

No, it is you who is the dumb ass. The link you posted is to this picture.

There is NOT a SINGLE member of the “Muslim Broherhood” in THAT photo.

You say the “web” is full of photos of “McCain with members of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

I say you are a damned liar and no such photos exits of “McCain with members of the Muslim Broherhood”…now TRY to prove me wrong.

Why do you post a picture of John Kerry with members of the Muslim Brtherhood when the discussion here is ONLY about alleged photos of McCain with members of the Muslim Brotherhood.?

Do you have photos of McCain with members of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Thank you for your honesty in admitting that McCain & Lindsey are Muslim Brotherhood, although it's painfully obvious that you're dazed and confused.

Perhaps this pic will help to clear things up for you...

Rubio, Graham, McCain with Hillary's ISIS Muslim Brotherhood in Libya.

Your caption of that photo may be another of your many lies.

First of all, you are as stupid as Stoner….There is NO “ISIS Muslim Brotherhood.”

Secondly, as to the photo you posted:

All that is shown here is a bunch of Libyans smiling and making peaceful gestures unto three US Senators.

You may go now and get back to me when you can specifically point out and name any person in that group of Libyans that is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

You really do need to stop making up LIES …
