Libertarian Fail

In the first quoted bit, he was responding directly to the possible joke post of cleansheetbsc.

In the second quoted bit, which was an entirely different post, he was relating an anecdote in the context of "his liberal friends". At most he is "wondering aloud" if, among some, there might be a similarity that can be drawn. At most.

 

Cool. Peaceful un-armed protestors deserve the same treatment as aggressive armed protestors. Good to know.

 

Sure he alledges that some of his liberal friends have made comments of droning the ranch guys just like cleansheet commented, then he projects that to team blue and claims they are the same as team red in the usual false equivalence (Equivalcy?) @American Brummie spell check needed in aisle 9.

 

True, harder to pepper spray guys with guns, maybe do it from a plane or something, safety first.

Dude Bundy is just lucky he is not black, the police response would have been much different.

 

as would likely be the actions of his "supporters"

He said the "sounds like Team Red" thing in direct response to cleansheetbsc and THEN shared the anecdote. He went in exactly the opposite direction of what you characterized.

David Corn has obtained a bunch of video of Rand Paul from the recent past.

To me, that means he has no chance at the Republican nomination. I had always thought his chances were slim and none, but to me, this means slim just left town.

But this isn't a libertain fail, IMO. He just was being a more or less honest, fair minded outsider. Paul was acting and speaking as a fairly pure libertarian.

But a fairly pure libertarian has no chance at getting the nomination from one of the two major parties at this point. None. So on that level, it's a fail.

Duhhhh!

 

The use of federal property.

 

Hey Mr. Bundy:

You're a liar and a racist and a moocher...

“They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton,” Bundy was quoted as saying to a group of supporters last Saturday. “And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

There have been limits on grazing since the Boston Commons started limiting grazing to 70 cows in 1646. If you don't charge fees and have permits, then everybody grazes their cows on the local range, all the stuff that can be eaten is eaten, and then you have a dust bowl desert without a tasty plant in sight.

In short, the government grazing fees and management of these areas make it possible for this guy to graze on them. If there were no grazing fees or management, chances are there wouldn't be any plants left.
