Cherry-picking Libertarians

Various remarks, most of which are in reply to Johnebii.

I hope to do more videos on topics surrounding this matter within the next few days. In particular, I am determined to deal with the absurd criticism that economic nationalists, agrarians, and Distributists want to "turn back the clock" on "progress."

btw- Subscribe to Johnebii. He may be horribly wrong, but he's a good guy. :)

I am anti-federalist. I am against federalism. America was a confederacy (United States of America) 1781 and it took only 6 years to destroy it and make some "union" or constitutional republic. Rothbard I believe should became a Christian since it was in his heart. It's those randians you should worry about, they are radically atheist. I am austrian school economics yet I am a hardcore Christian. Even with the Parable of the Talents (sp?), Jesus spoke about, is business-like.

It is my contention that the Austrian School of economics is contrary to Christianity. Their philosophy concerning man, the relationship man has with others, the relationship man has with the material world, and their belief that economics is an autonomous science outside the jurisdiction of ethics all fly in the face of Christian philosophy. Then again, I am presupposing the truths of Catholicism and Catholic Social Doctrine. At any rate, I am no fan of the market mystics of the Austrian School

@paleocrat Is it a necessity that an economic system reflect the values of Christianity in order for said economic system to exist in a society? Christianity and "Catholic Social Doctrine" support the idea of charitable contributions to society. If Christians adopt the concept of compassionate conservatism (or charitable donations to the less fortunate in a society) then it would not be necessary for an economic system to reflect the exact tenets of the faith (assuming such a thing even exists).

@WorshipInTruth Circular reasoning: a formal logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in one of the premises. Essentially what you are saying is that you believe in equality because you think people should be treated equally. I do believe that all humans deserve to be treated equally under the law, BUT I have very good reasons for doing so. It is NOT self evident.

@WorshipInTruth But its just not true, a child that is born a slave is still a slave and has virtually no rights. A child that is born within a state still has to follow the rules of the state. You can assert "natural rights" all you want, but it does not mean they actually exist.

@WorshipInTruth They are also illegal as the U.S constitution has supremacy .

[ryan84160]

@WorshipInTruth Ok fair enough, but what exactly do you mean when you say there is no right to freedom from religion ? How else is one supposed to interpret this other than there is no right not to be religious ?

Why is that worthy to note at all ???

[ryan84160]

@WorshipInTruth Why are you quoting the Bible at me ? If I started quoting the Quran at you , would you find this convincing ?

[ryan84160]

Respond to this video... Religion and morality are not the same thing,nice try. If a politicians morality is based on religion, there is no problem. The problem comes when the politician uses state property or authority to help to support religion in any way,shape or form.

@WorshipInTruth Uhh actually right now it is also a state institution and as long as it is a state institution, it should be open to everyone. I do actually agree with you here, the government should get out of marriage.If the institution of marriage were privatized ,however, homosexuals could get married within any religious or secular group that would accept them whether you like it or not.

[ryan84160]

@WorshipInTruth You are right, libertarians do, but conservatives sure as hell do not want to see the decriminalization or legalization of drugs.

[ryan84160]

@WorshipInTruth That depends on how you interpret the constitution.

How exactly do you think the country should be delivered from the thralls of pornography ?
