Mayor Sam Is A Libertarian!
Tell us something we didn't know!Hat tip to the lovely GOP Vixen (AKA the Daily News' Bridget Johnson) who blogged the World's Smallest Political Quiz.
Indeed though Bridget also scored in the small l sector, the old, dead Republican mayor is nearly off the chart.
Wikipedia defines Libertarianism as "a political philosophy that upholds the principle of individual liberty. Libertarians maintain that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty." Sounds good to me.
So fire up some chronic, marry whom you want and burn your Social Security card. Woo hoo!

Here's why all Libertarians are dumbasses:
They make a big deal of things like the right to ride without a helmet, and that government shouldn't "tell people what to do," like wear a seat belt.
If you don't wear a seat belt, and go flying through the windshield during an accident, I don't care.
But if you fly through my windshield because I am near you, I start caring.
And when my tax dollars do to pay your hospital bills, I care.
Heck, even if my tax dollars pay for the guy to come scrape your carcass off the road, I care.
Libertarians flunked high school civics. It really is an un-pragmatic philosophy. Like communism, except for rightists. It has no place in the real world.
You forget that every action in this world, unless you are a hermit, affects other people.
I scored "Liberal"! Yippee!
And by the way, that quiz comes sponsored by the Libertarian party.
Who wouldn't want to cut government waste? Just who is pro-censorship?
Reps and Dems believe in most of that stuff!
Oh wait a minute. Everyone who takes the quiz is a Libertarian. I was on the 80 line right underneath the i and b in the word Libertarian.
I'm a socialist. There is no way that thing is accurate.
I agree with 9:30. You must be older than Bridget or Higby. They took Civic out of schools when those young things were there.
From the Libertarian website:
Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations,
Damn them all. There is nothing wrong with a little "nucular" meltdown on Rocketdyne property. They own the property, after all. IF they want to build houses there and kill people later, who are we to stop them.
Know what else really fries my ass about those enviro liberals? They are always bitching about the air quality and they cause those pollution-spewing coal plants to clean up their plants by REGULATING laws. Dumb asses. If people die from inhaling that, who cares?
What WERE they thinking in giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore? We all know it was Bush's. It had George W. Bush inscribed on the bottom. I think it was some left-wing conspiracy because of that silly old stolen election scandal.
930 your logic is brilliant...
You say that Libertarains want to allow someone who CHOOSES to ride a motorcycle (agreed, a DUMB idea) without a helmet to do so.
And if someone does ride a bike without protection then gets into an accident you don't care, UNLESS they use your tax dollars to pay your hospital bills.
Dummy - Libertarians DON'T want your tax dollars to pay the helmet-free jackass' medical bills either.
Libertarians say " I can do anything I want". But what if what you do affects another Libertarian, or anyone else for that matter?
Libertarians espouse their rights but have no answer when you ask them how their actions affect others and how those people should respond.
The libertarian quiz grid is rigged to result in conservatives tending to indicated they are libertarian. Join the libertarian party, go to their meetings and you will find they are culturally and politically LEFT.
Libertarianism wouldn't even make sense in a perfect world. It's completely incompatible with anything approaching the U.S. system with dependency on the government ingrained in dozens of millions of people.
And, it's internally inconsistent and in a completely childlike way: they support free movement of people and at the same time claim they would offer a national defense. Like pacifists, they assume everyone is a nice person. What would actually happen in the case of a "free movement of people" is we'd be invaded in one way or another by cohesive, non-libertarian countries such as China, India, Mexico, or whoever could come up with enough people to obtain a political bloc inside the (soon to be former) U.S.
So, the ideology that claims to support a national defense would end up having offered nothing of the sort.
Here's my updated version of the quiz.
Here's a libertarian satire I wrote, and here's another.
In the case of the second, Reason Magazine published a proposal closely tracking mine... about two weeks after I sent them an email version of my satire. Except, they were serious.
(To their credit, unlike me they didn't go into the details of the "passage".)
This is one of those rare times where we can get the wacko liberals and the extreme right dinosaur Republicans spinning in tandem like the tweeledum and tweedledummers that they are.
Its fun to see Republicans act like liberals!
Dummy - Libertarians DON'T want your tax dollars to pay the helmet-free jackass' medical bills either.
So, libertarians want people with massive head injuries and no or insufficient insurance to cover long term care to be left on the road to die???
Libertarianism sounds good on paper. Who doesn't want smaller government. But, in reality, libertarians always come across as nuts. Ron Paul and his followers for example. And then there was Harry Brown who promised to bring every US soldier home if elected the day after his inaugration. And then there was the guy who was running for governor (forgot his name) that was spitting on people . . .
As opposed to Antonio Villaraigosa or Larry Craig?
Mayor Sam can't defend Libertarians so he tries to change the subject.
Now I'd like to see everyone go to beliefnet.org and see what religion they really are. Interesting.
I'm an upper right Conservative.
