Intellectually Retarded People Can't Understand Libertarian Points of View.

Rachel Maddow and most liberal TV talking heads are Intellectually Retarded. They cannot comprehend the subtle nuances of libertarian and constitutional ideals.

I don't generally lower myself to name calling but with the recent attacks on Rand Paul, I had to come up with a name to call those people.

I don't deign to claim I know any better than others do, it's merely my belief. And that is how others are. They've simply been raised the way they were, and for whatever reason they aren't fond of looking at things from a different perspective or accept things they've known their whole lives might be false.

I don't think it's that they can't, I think it's because they REFUSE to understand it.

But then again, there are some people I've talked to that just don't get it at all... So I guess your theory has some truth to it. :D

Intellectual capital is difficult to find. Most people here at RPF have great imput, but the libertarian definition is elusive. Can you provide an accurate definition of libertarianism? The definition in my MacBook is completely off base!

There are those who simply believe in the control of others, especially if bent to their own will. You can see it every day in small ways in many people. We all have this side, some of us are better at controlling this tendency by understanding the power of liberty.

It really comes down to a basic scale of Libertarians vs Authoritarians. Or more importantly, on the category issues, does the person lean more toward an Authoritarian or Libertarian position, or middle of the road? The left /right Paradigm is a confused mess.

Intellectual retards. I like that term. It is especially fitting for folks like Maddow who are rather elitist in terms of their intelligence but do not know shit.

So everybody who disagrees with you must be retarded. I see. Maybe tell them that the next time you are trying to convince them that you have any good ideas and see if they are willing to listen to anything you say. Even a 13 year-old will stop listening if you call them retarded.

Blinded by social justice and corresponding peer pressure. Many of these people are lemmings. More agree with us then they let on. Trust me. They're cowardly. Remember, Goldwater's slogan, "In you're heart, YOU know HE'S RIGHT" That's very applicable to the cognitive dissonance that has taken hold of the public consciousness.

I do not know Maddow but I do not presume to think she is retarded. I do not see much evidence to support a belief she is retarded.

The issue at hand is why does she believe what she believes. I would speculate socialists base what they believe on a view it accomplishes the most good.

Our job is to point out libertarian principles accomplish the most good.

There is no utopia only that which can accomplish the most good. I have yet to see a statist make a convincing argument I should believe pointing a gun at someone and asking them to convert to a belief accomplishes the most good.

If they did have such an argument I might be a statist.

I've always found ti funny that wingnuts are either for business rights or individual rights, but never both.

The difference between me and them is, I am open to being corrected if an honest intellectual argument supporting their case is properly presented and am willing to change my point of view. I was a believer in Man-made global warming up until two years ago when I discovered the extended solar minimum, did my own research, and were presented with the true facts about it. I now believe the AGW movement is a scam to extract the peoples wealth.

I prefer to call liberals intellectually immature. Children believe that some higher authority (mommy and daddy) can force others to do what they think is right. If enough people vote for mommy and daddy, then whatever they want mommy and daddy to do is best.

That's a pretty decent way of looking at it. http://forums.joerogan.net/images/smilies/Sylvia.gif

I think they can understand it, but for political gain they choose not to.

Prove racism is happening by showing me the police reports where the law was broken in discrimination cases. You can't because there no longer is race crimes occurring in the USA. It's an intellectual proof of fact only Libertarians can understand. It's like, show me the law documented when it comes to the income tax question. You can't because it doesn't exist. Prove racism exists physically. Shit or get off the pot. Racism exists in the US only as a fairytale intellectually retarded peoples minds.

Pretentious libertarians can't understand why people don't want to listen.

Jesus, why is this so hard, and why does it have to made so difficult?

Define Libertarianism, sure, no problem.

Two rules -

1-Mind your own Business.

2-Keep your hands to Yourself.

They understand perfectly well. They're LEFTISTS. They're against Liberty. They want the government to tell private business what to do. Rand Paul has been targeted by Leftists. They know exactly what he stands for, and he stands for the opposite of what they stand for.

If you're looking for a word, try Leftist. Leftist vs Freedom

A libertarian politician is not a sound bite politician.
General public's intellectual capacity is usually only good enough for a sound bite politician.
Just look at Obama.
'Yes We Can'?
He basically repeated the slogan for a millions times over and over without any serious policy discussions.
And he won.
That speaks volume about the general public's intelligence level.
It's tragic.
