    How does spreading lies to facebook suppport freedom and liberty?

    Johnson promises to:
    1. Close down the Dept of Education which will end the fedgov's propaganda monopoly and make it possible to the truth to be taught, and reason and achievement rewarded.
    2. Balance the federal budget by reducing spending
    3. End the Income tax on productivity This alone will completely change the face of America and the economy for the better.
    These programs will do more for freedom and individual liberty than anything done by anyone in the past 100 years.

    The author, Paul Joseph Watson is not libertarian and doesn't agree with libertarian platform. Not very surprising that he supports a statist Trump dictatorship instead of a statist Hillary dictatorship. Posting is rubbish from a completely biased source. Paul Joseph Watson is an irrational loon based upon his completely biased writings.
    Trump's policy proposals are much worse for freedom and liberty than Johnson's.

    Johnson is more libertarian in his policies than a lot of so-called libertarians.
    I wouldn't call anything Johnson is doing pandering, but I can see why a Trump supporter would want to transfer one of Trump's least endearing traits to Johnson.
    I agree that Johnson has avoided supporting libertarian issues that voters don't understand because they have been brainwashed by the statist biased (and supported) media.

    Johnson represents your values and principles, and promises to accomplish things that will save your business. You should be supporting Johnson on principle so he gets in the debates even if you still decide to vote for someone else later.
    Its the right decision for the long term and gives you options in the short term.

    Why post this here? Ayn Rand said she was not a libertarian.

    Rubbish. Cuban voted for Obama and has supported Hitlery's campaign. Johnson is Hitlery's only ethical competition.

    I would actually vote for him as the least bad candidate IF he were remotely electable. But his isnt. He needs to stick to education at least this time around, and once the populace becomes more liberty friendly, maybe he can run then.

    Look what happened to Ron Paul and Rand Paul, who I would say are more libertarian than Gary Johnson.

    Gary Johnson is parading around as Libertarian, but knows full well that purely Libertarian ideas will get him put in a museum with Ron Paulm Rand Paul, and others who espoused those ideas in our curent culture.

    Johnson is pandering to some statist ideas that are currently popular, so that he gets at least his 9%, instead of 1% if he stuck to strictly libertarian ideas.

    Liberty first, Dino. Without liberty security is meaningless: There is nothing worth securing.

    He lost cred only because the media is biased against Johnson. He responded with honesty to an unclear question. Once the question was clarified (after the interviewer made it appear that Johnson was at fault instead of the interviewer who created the problem) Johnson answered with clarity and apologized for the misunderstanding.

    Rule 6 - Never apologize, its a sign of weakness.

    It was irrational, but he did lose cred as you said DrZ.

    Johnson lost cred for foreign policy, when he was asked about the crisis in Aleppo, Syria, and had no idea what Aleppo was. Anyone with even a cursory notice of news should recognize that city as a key center in the conflict between Bashar Assad and opposition forces, with serious civilian casualties.

    I look at it this way. I agree with 85℅ of what Johnson/Weld stand for. I will never find someone who perfectly matches my beliefs. So I will vote for who best does match. I don't like everything about them, but that doesn't keep them from being the best choice. We need to stop with the "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

    He may not be the perfect libertarian, but he's more libertarian than trump or Clinton. If you're waiting for perfect you'll be waiting a very long time. Gary Johnson is still the best choice.

    An illegal alien is not an immigrant.
    To call an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is PC speak.

    It seems that you are referring to the Center for Security Policy poll that was reported by Breitbart and others.

    http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.or...

    By contrast, the broader survey found that a 63% majority of those sampled said that “the freedom to engage in expression that offends Muslims or anybody else is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and cannot be restricted.”

    The broader problem is simply assimilation. Give it time. The label "Cosa Nostra" was given to the Mafia because of a chance comment recorded by the FBI. One of the Mafia dons complained that the FBI "wants to interfere in you know cosa nostra." It means "our thing." The old Sicilians felt that they should be allowed to bring their old world customs of reprisals to the new world. Why should the FBI care if mafiosi kill each other? Well, we do care... We want them to leave the old world behind and join the new way of life. It takes time for a new generation to ascend, that's all. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court sat Justices Alito and Scalia... Eventually, just as it sat Jews, it will have an Arab.

    How many Christians would replace the Constitution with Biblical law? We still cannot buy beer on Sunday before noon here in Texas. All of the arguments against gay marriage are based on religion, not civil law. "In God We Trust" was put on American money first on coins during the Civil War, then on paper money when we were at war against godless communism. (Godly communism was always approved of.) Christianity was used to justify slavery - nothing in the Bible speaks against it.

    I agree that Islam is a problem, perhaps the last great problem in the West, but is just one aspect of a deeper error.

    And where did you find that poll? Who ran it? What was the actual question? How did their find their Muslims to ask?
