Re: From my Facebook feed today...
Ok then...
23 states have a militia of their own... a State Defense Force or SDF:

Oh and by the way this is what a left libertarian is and where I’m at... learn something new since you don’t believe it’s a thing. It’s a quick but informative read:

Re: From my Facebook feed today...
State Defense Forces... so if the Guard is away doing the bidding of the Feds, these guys get to pick up the pieces after a disaster. Who trains them? Who arms them?
Yeah... no. Definitely not a well regulated militia.
Daily KOS and the left libertarian... so basically a leftist that is afraid to admit he/she is a leftist? Got it.
What I'm bewildered about is the left libertarian that advocates the government crushing a citizen uprising. Do you advocate the government quelling the BLM movement and the riots that ensue? Do you advocate the government cracking down on the removal of statues that offend people?
Or... do you simply want the government to browbeat an uprising if it is perpetrated by those you perceive as right of you?
Yeah... no. Definitely not a well regulated militia.

I don’t WANT them to do anything.

I personally think the BLM protests are ok but the knuckleheads Doing their thing could use some reeling in. I would advocate for peaceful removal by going through a town council at a meeting or whatever the process would be. But no not a leftist who is afraid to admit it. There’s a lot of leave me alone in there. Clearly you didn’t read it.

Re: From my Facebook feed today...
With about half the military being Democrats I hope that gives you pause or scares the hell out of you.
It actually should make you feel like we are also patriotic Americans on this side of the aisle and we love our country so much we want to see it improve. But I know that’s probably something you may not be able to grasp. The right does not have a monopoly on patriotism.
Did you even read the article I linked to?

I don't think you're a bad person RT, just seriously misguided and a bit naive.

Re: From my Facebook feed today...
I’m not all that misguided or naive... more than likely I’m coming at this from a different perspective. Now did you read the article listing what a left libertarian actually thinks? It’s a far cry from a leftist... certainly not anywhere near a progressive or a socialist or a communist.UP906 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:25 pmWhy would I be scared?Rate This wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:22 pmWith about half the military being Democrats I hope that gives you pause or scares the hell out of you.

You are a leftist, but you don't recognize it because you haven't reached the point of loony leftist like those you mentioned.

Stick with me though kid, I think you have a lot of redeeming qualities, not the least of which is a thirst for knowledge and a desire for civil debate.
I'll have you manned up in no time.

Re: From my Facebook feed today...
The libertarian tendencies stop any further leftward progression. Leftist however has become a pejorative term... currently Trump uses it to describe any Democrat regardless of actual views. Right wing media does the same thing.UP906 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:29 pmYes, I read the article.Rate This wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:27 pmI’m not all that misguided or naive... more than likely I’m coming at this from a different perspective.

The best example I can think of is Kiersten Sinema out in Arizona I’m here 2018 race where she beat Martha McSally... I remember distinctly Sean Hannity spending night after night labeling the woman a far left radical and a leftist... she has ended up being one of the most conservative Democrats second only to Joe Manchin in how often she crosses the aisle. Hardly a leftist at all.
Re: From my Facebook feed today...
Thanks, that sentiment is appreciated. I come from a long line of very liberal folks some of whom approach the progressive end of the spectrum... I've heard it said our politics are genetic and intertwined with our brain wiring. If that supposition is correct it may be hard to change the basic wiring. That said unlike some on here I’m happy to adapt my stances to new information and I happen to find you a worthy debate opponent.
Re: From my Facebook feed today...
Sinema is a looker, but she has certain policy stances that I can't get behind.
So... while she may be a conservative Dem, that isn't saying much when you look at her cohorts.
She is left of center.

Re: From my Facebook feed today...
Correct. But in order to scare GOP voters to death she was called a far left radical. It’s another indication that those guys will feed you whatever bullshit advances their cause. Not saying liberals are any better I’m just saying in this case they got caught.
Re: From my Facebook feed today...
Far left and far right, just two different sides to the same coin.
Counting all the assholes in the room I'm defiantly not alone.
Re: From my Facebook feed today...
So Trump is really a far left radical and his use of the term is a dog whistle to get the communists on his side? Such insight!
