Don't expect me to defend Trump though. Not what we were discussing.

I lumped you in with someone else. Noted. But we could criminalize alcohol like drugs and then we would be all good right? Wait we tried that I think...

Beg to differ on those percentages and what is Trump's foreign policy? ...Oh that's ok, nobody knows.

You're right...nobody knows. What we however are pretty sure of is that it won't be the same foreign policies we've seen for the last 8 years (at least).

I'm not against legalizing pot, but if you want to compare alcohol to heroine, Crack, method, etc. there is no point in discussing t.

Having a son in April. Disheartened by last nights results, scared about what direction our country is heading and what it will look like for him. Really hurt for people of color and anyone in the LGBTQ community, had to comfort several friends from these groups last night. Can't do anything now but hope that the President makes the right decisions for the country and all the people he represents.

Don't let media scare you and your friends into their fear tactics. If anything this is a big awakening that the media was for sell and deceitful.

Since you are bringing a child into this world you should probably be glad he will repeal Obamacare because at the current rate most of middle America would be in debt from just health insurance premiums and out of pocket pay due to lack of coverage. He probably won't be able to catch this horrendous premium jump next year in time for it to go into effect.

There isn't going to be some worldwide KKK reemergence and he isn't going to kick out the lgbt community. nobodys rights are being ripped away. Your everyday lives will be the same. It's amazing to see the comments from those disappointed that really think there will some increase in rape and lynchings. He isn't hitler just because some Netflix show take clips for multiple speeches and acts like he is the antichrist

Well said. The liberal MSM exists to scare voters into voting Democrat and failed. The DOW is already at an all time high today too.

I am very much in favor of many Libertarian ideals but some I can't get behind. On the official Libertarian Party Platform they state the following:

1.5 Abortion

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.


However, they say a couple of paragraphs later:

1.7 Crime and Justice

The prescribed role of government is to protect the rights of every individual including the right to life, liberty and property. Criminal laws should be limited in their application to violations of the rights of others through force or fraud, or to deliberate actions that place others involuntarily at significant risk of harm. Therefore, we favor the repeal of all laws creating “crimes” without victims, such as the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes. We support restitution to the victim to the fullest degree possible at the expense of the criminal or the negligent wrongdoer. The constitutional rights of the criminally accused, including due process, a speedy trial, legal counsel, trial by jury, and the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty, must be preserved. We assert the common-law right of juries to judge not only the facts but also the justice of the law.

1.8 Death Penalty

We oppose the administration of the death penalty by the state.

1.9 Self-Defense
The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights—life, liberty, and justly acquired property—against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. Private property owners should be free to establish their own conditions regarding the presence of personal defense weapons on their own property. We oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition.


Libertarians are basically pro-choice when it comes to abortion. However, they believe the only crimes that the government should maintain are those that deprive individuals of either life, liberty, or property. Abortion does all three to the unborn child.

Libertarians are opposed to the death penalty being administered by the state but they are ok with children being sentenced to death. The majority of abortions take place because people are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions.

The first line of the first plank of the libertarian platform says:


Less than 10% of abortions occur for reasons of health issues for either the mother or the child. Less than .5% occur due to rape or incest, which is one of the main platforms of the pro-abortion advocates like HRC. In fact abortions occur mostly because the woman stated she was unready to have a child (25%), too immature or too young (7%), attempting to avoid single parenthood (8%), already have all the children they want (19%), having a baby would interfere with school or career plans (4%), or state they can't afford a baby (23%). That sounds like irresponsible people ducking out and killing an unborn child to avoid the consequences of their actions.


No political party is perfect but I am very against abortion for a variety of reasons. I have never had to personally face the situation where my child or that of my wife were in danger due to a pregnancy so I cannot fathom the decision that parents in that situation are facing. However, the other 86% of abortions that occurred because people were irresponsible or didn't want to be inconvenienced by a child are inexcusable IMO. How many doctors, artists, inventors, leaders, etc were struck down before they ever took their first breath of air. There are lines of people trying to adopt children and they are being killed in droves by people who are avoiding their responsibilities.

Anyway. Rant over. I would love to see a viable Libertarian candidate but it is going to be a while.

Calling yourself fiscally conservative while being against abortion is just as, if not more hypocritical than being libertarian and pro-choice.

Yeah but keep in mind many of those voting for Johnson were just hoping a 3rd party would hit the 5% threshold.

Regarding the LGBT rights, things won't change that quickly, if at all. It's not an issue that matters to the majority of Americans anymore.

He'll get a SJC in, yeah, but a case has to come before them before they can vote to overturn any LGBT rights or anything. Most of the LGBT rights laws will continue to be put in place at the state level.

This was the most assclown idiocracy election ever. Voted AGAINST Hillary not FOR Donald. That being said, it drew big patented butchna grins and graduating laughter as the cocky Hillary Election HQ's crowd went from smiles/laughter to worried to downright bawling. :w00t:

Donald isn't perfect by any stretch, no one claims he is. In fact even I admit he is a flawed man that has said some stupid things... But when it comes to POLICY, I agree with him almost completely.

Do tell. What does being fiscally conservative have to with abortion one way or the other?
