11 TYPES OF PEOPLE LIBERTARIANS ARE TOTALLY FED UP WITH





Part of being a libertarian means separating yourself from the Coke-Pepsi wars that make up American politics. Basically, it means you get really fed up with all the bullshit that gets tossed about in the world of politics. Here are some of the typical people that libertarians are tired of:

11. The conservative who’s pro-life and pro-war.




Life is so sacred, we idolize our best killing machines.

10. The liberal who dislikes corporate power…



9. …but is totally cool with a strong, central government.




8. That guy who treats politics like their personal sports league.




However, Fantasy Politics should totally be a thing.

7. Those people want congress to pass MORE bills.




The more they sit on their hands, the better off we’ll be.

6. People who throw a fit over Obama’s golf playing.




No really, if you don’t agree with him, the last place you want him is back in the Oval Office.

5. Anti-government right-wingers who support war, the ultimate expression of governmental power.



You get upset at art subsidies, but paying billions for an endless war is totally cool?

4. Advocates for trying to set up a foreign government or arm rebels.




Because it’s worked so well all the other times you tried that.

3. That guy who doesn’t trust the government to run a lemonade stand, but is convinced that it’s masterminding a huge plot of evil.




At least they’re good for a hearty laugh.

2. That kid who still thinks that Communism is “good in theory”.




They’re just so cute when they’re young.

1. Liberals that call you a right-wing extremist and conservatives that call you a left-wing extremist.

There actually was a site with fantasy politics a few years back. You would get points for passing legislation, crossing the aisle, drafting bills, etc

That chick from Maine Snow, she was like the P Manning of it IIRC

My friends and I played it one year and it was all kids on the message boards like "THIS SHIT IS SO STUPID MY TEACHER IS MAKING ME DO IT."

yeah apparently not too many people thought so since it is now down. Fantasy sports has exploded since '09 though, if someone started something like it now I wonder if it would takeoff. I was just messing around on it but I did think it had potential as an interactive way to teach kids about the legislative process in a non-tedious, boring way.

That's too bad, AK and willie could have had a real capping contest!

It's simplistic and inaccurate to refer to certain conservatives that are "pro-war." No sane person is pro-war. Where most conservatives and liberals would disagree with libertarians,
is what are just reasons for war.
