Rep Amash: Americans becoming more libertarian

[utvolpj]

I'm a big fan of Justin Amash. He criticizes those he disagrees with regardless of party. He can also can and will explain his votes/beliefs based on solid facts. More reps like him being put on office would be a huge step toward returning this country to the people

[davethevol]

We need more people like him.

 

[PKT_VOL]

I agree with him. Particularly the younger generations.

 

[golfballs]

I think there are a lot of people who are libertarian but don't realize it

 

[Vol8188]

And less like these:
Louie Gohmert and Sheila Jackson Lee

I might be one of them.

I think he's going about changing the party in the right way, from within.

Reasonably certain your computer should burst into flames for tossing those two names into the same thread as Amash.

Rightfully so.

You didn't leave OB on the side of the road did you?

I would. But I saw this thread:

And I'm worried the technological gayness will make a jump into the Windows computer I'm on or my Android and infect me.

Nah. Mac viruses don't work on Windows PC's.

There is hope. Wake up America!

Yep. Most college "Republicans" I knew were really Libertarians when you talked to them. A surprising number of college "Democrats" were the same (ones that were Democrats due mainly to social causes).

I fall in the last category. Socially I'm very liberal, but with all other issues I feel that my freedom should be extended as far as possible without harming the next person.

Figured you'd like him

I loved the part where the establishment tried to use terrorism to make him look bad on govt spying

The challenger, Brian Ellis, stooped as low as he could go, releasing an ad that accused Amash of being "al-Qaida's best friend in Congress" due to the representative's opposition to NSA spying and unauthorized wars.

 

[Burhead]

Big fan of his, hoping one day he'll decide to run for President. I could really see myself voting for a Republican if he was the nominee.

 

[red butler]

This video interview is how I was introduced to Amash. I have to say he is one congressman that seems to have his head on straight.

Been stalking him on twitter for awhile, I mean following.

 

[CNCVol88]

I'd vote for him.

He also posts an explanation for every vote on his fb page. He's never missed a vote either

Cool I need to give that page a like so I can start getting the feed.

Sounds like this guy might be on the good guys team. I'm behind him and his message for sure. Looks like he will attempt to put an end to the madness if given the chance. Thanks for bringing this man to our attention OP.

I am generally a libertarian. My only opposing view is foreign policy. From most of what I have read and heard expressed, Libertarians are more closely aligned to isolationist points of view, in regards to foreign policy.

Yep. I will say I think most Libertarians are united that Congress needs to enact/vote for sustained military campaigns; not merely the POTUS's discretion.

I also differ on the NSA; I tend to have a more pragmatic view verse an ideological view. I think collecting and storing information is fine so long as they don't view it or prosecute with it (without a proper search warrant). It certainly seems that has happened. However, I don't think such an occurrence, although unfortunate, should lead to a reactionary move of not collecting and storing (for when you really might need it and could save a lot of lives).
