“Dear Mr. Lucente: You are a total wing nut.”
Do I really need to read the rest of the letter?
Actually, dear letter writer, I am a libertarian. Or, as I prefer, a classical liberal.
I consider myself a person of at least average intelligence. Still, I will simply never understand those who find the idea of liberty as “crazy” or “outside the mainstream,” and libertarians as “wing nuts.”
Usually such charges come from liberals, especially the radical leftists who have hijacked the Democratic Party in recent years.
And by radical leftists, I am talking about the communists, fascists and socialists, led by the communist-in-chief currently occupying the White House, at least until Jan. 20, who believe that government should take care of our every want, need and desire from the cradle to the grave.
That includes, of course, only those humans who actually are permitted to make it to the cradle. After all, this cradle-to-grave care does not include protecting humans who have not yet, through no fault of their own, left the womb.
Nor should we forget the death panels that will decide when we go to the grave.
If you don’t think government is capable of using abortion or geronticide as a means of controlling the population or balancing the budget, you are extremely naïve. We have plenty of historical examples of just such behavior. And we all know about China’s one-child, forced-abortion policy.
That is the glorious leap forward, dear readers. The liberal promise of a more enlightened future where inconvenient babies and the elderly are killed.
As a classical liberal, I subscribe to one very simple philosophy: People should be left alone to do whatever they want to do only so long as they don’t violate another person’s right to life, liberty or property through force or fraud. Or, in other words, the golden rule that one should behave toward others as one would want others to behave toward oneself.
That’s it. A very simple philosophy.
This is the same philosophy that drove the Founders to take the drastic measure of becoming traitors and taking up arms against their government.
It is the same philosophy behind those great words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is to those words and the cause of liberty that 56 of this country’s greatest citizens signed their names and pledged their lives, fortunes, and their sacred honor.
Yet, to today’s modern liberal, they were simply 56 “wing nuts.”
I will never understand how any thinking person can be opposed to this philosophy. How can any sane person not advocate for the cause of liberty?
That, of course, is a rhetorical question because like those truths that were so self-evident to our forefathers, the answer is somewhat obvious. The majority of Americans are educated by the government. Do you really believe a government that strives to control our lives from cradle to grave is going to educate children to believe that is a bad thing?
Of course not.
The cause of liberty goes against the modern liberal worldview of cradle-to-grave governmental control and the conservative view of controlling our social lives and fighting endless wars.
Besides that, too many Americans lack either the ability or the will to think critically. That can’t seem to understand that for each liberty that is stolen in the name of some other “greater good,” we come closer to losing all our liberties.
Oh, the liberals and the conservatives will prattle about the idea of liberty, but in the end that is nothing but pure puffery for they see the cause of liberty as nothing but poppycock, balderdash and foolery.
Unfortunately, as we continue to travel down the road of European-style socialism, thanks to a mix of communal lethargy and communal ignorance, we should keep in mind a 1787 quotation from Thomas Jefferson: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”
Of course, he was just a libertarian wing nut.

After scrolling down the page, I think I saw a President of a certain country who is gay! Can you find him? These are your Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein supporters who probably should be at work……………..or maybe not???
http://www.zombietime.com/hall_of_shame/
I would find it hilarious if this freak wasn’t gay, and to be accused of being so would be mortally embarrassed, that is, providing he has the “common sense” enough as to BE embarrassed…………which I doubt he has, common sense, or a sense of embarrassment, he probably doesn’t know how to be, how to act like a human being with human feelings…………….do mu SLIMES get embarrassed, do you think? Or, for that matter, egotistical self serving, low life good for nothings that live for themselves and their own self agrandizement? I hope I spelled that last word right……oh well, you get the point. One thing is for sure, he is not an American, so he does not truly understand the American’s love of life, love and liberty. He understands nothing about America, or Americans. I think he misjudged us, and under estimated us when he took us for a bunch of lily livered cowards, I do beleive he drastically under estimated this nation of such a mix of ideas and beleifs. At least, I hope he did, because if he did, there may be light at the end of this horrible tunnel that we find ourselves in. And if he did, and we are forced into a Civil War, and are forced to feed the tree of Liberty the much needed blood of patriots, I think that we are up to the task, and that more than he beleives will do such a thing, will do exactly that. We Americans may yet surprise him, and with one hell of a blow out…… a very big BOOM! I hope that it does not come to that, but if it does, LET FREEDOM RING, and LET FREEDOM RING IN HIS DUMBO SIZED EARS UNTIL HIS EARDRUMS BREAK AND BLOW OUT WHAT PASSES FOR A BRAIN IN THAT SORRY FLAP EARRED HEAD! I despise this african wanna be “american dick tator”, I truly do. I wish him back in the land of his fathers “dreams/nightmares” where he can live with the natives who might just have him over for Dog Dinner, THEIR OWN DOGS! Not mine.
Oh, yeah, maybe they will marry him off to one of their sons! Well, he’d love that wouldn’t he? He has “evolved” so he should be happy with his very own husband!
We in America just need real President .Not some guy that does not even know were he is from him self Obama has almost destroyed America to no return ,, There for i hate Obama for what he has done to good ol America
The evil regime of Obuma will and is hurting America.When you tell illiterate people to hate the rich plus your own party believing this is down right unamerican.Obuma is a pillow biter and he is out of the closet.
I now fully understand why "libertarians/liberals" are called crazy, outside the mainstream and wing nuts.
Such hypocrisy in their own words which they refuse to recognize.
Let me elaborate.
The author wrote their belief is "People should be left alone to do whatever they want to do only so long as they don’t violate another person’s right to life, liberty or property through force or fraud. Or, in other words, the golden rule that one should behave toward others as one would want others to behave toward oneself."
But yet they contradict this statement by saying "That includes, of course, only those humans who actually are permitted to make it to the cradle. After all, this cradle-to-grave care does not include protecting humans who have not yet, through no fault of their own, left the womb."
I will say I do not advocate for nor condone abortions, but I DO subscribe to what liberals CLAIM they believe. The golden rule that one should behave toward others as one would want others to behave toward oneself. I shouldn't have the right to make my opinions and beliefs law, just as you shouldn't.
We shouldn't have to choose between the government or a church making our laws, especially when you don't subscribe to that churches teachings. Isn't a religion making the rules the very basis for Sharia Law?
The better motto for these libertarians/liberals would be "We believe everyone has the right to do as they wish, as long as we APPROVE".
To take it to the basics, either we enjoy freedom, or we don't. Our freedom shouldn't be restricted by opinions and beliefs.
