    Downvotes show that many people calling libertarians bad words are unable to grasp such a simple difference.

      Hey I didn’t call libertarians any bad words, I mean obviously bad words. I called them all Republicans trying to have sex with a Democrat. That’s it. I don’t even know if it’s any more of a lie than wearing makeup is. Since you know, everyone fucking knows the deal.

        From the point of view of an actual libertarian Republicans and Democrats are much closer to each other than both are to libertarians.

        But there’s a weird kind of people in the New World thinking that libertarian is just something between the two, yes. Probably someone initially mixed up libertarian and libertine, and then it went out of control.

          actual libertarian

          fact: all actual liberatarians live in Scotland. With the True Scotsmen.

          No one is paying you to talk that way. Just a fyi.

            I laughed so hard that coffee came out of my nose. You just made my day. Thank you.

            You are using the word “libertarian” wrong. Just a fyi. Otherwise you are a commie because Republicans would call you that.

            Similar to elderly people in Soviet countries struggling to differentiate homosexuals and pedophiles.
