The get nine of the most pathetic people they can find and say stupid shit that high school students know better than to say and they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

I suppose they feel they have a life by acting like assholes…sad.

To think Code Skank is the vanguard of the “anti-war” movement.

When Penn & Teller dis’s a leftie group, you know they gotta be EXTREMELY pathetic……….because Penn Gillette is just about as liberal as you can get…..just short of being a communist.

My main beef with Libertarians is their foreign policy and national security positions. Most of their domestic stances I can live with, although I can see why many people freak out when they find out exactly what the consequences are.

I’ll take a Libertarian society (if that’s not a contradiction in terms) over a Socialist one any day. Although what we have in most of America, a Conservative society, is in my opinion the best/least bad one in history.

Agreed.

I do believe I saw on Glenn Beck awhile back, Gillette’s vigorous support for the GWOT and the troops. Maybe he’s a Boortz Libertarian, and not of the Barr/Paul/Jones mold.

I do know for certain that he’s a staunch atheist.

Love that show. Regardless of Gilette’s political views, I admire the amount of common sense that is used when discussing these topics. I particularly enjoyed the episodes on concealed carry and socialized health care. (pro CCW, anti-SHC by the way).

Just watched the whole episode. They pushed the ‘Free Trade will solve all problems’ bullshit, letting the stench of moral equivalency slip in. Melanie Morgan isn’t pro-war; like many on this site, she’s simply aware that the only way to have peace is through strength.

Poland had no desire to go to war with Germany, but they weren’t given a vote. Hell, the reason France and England don’t go to war anymore isn’t the EU, as Penn claims, but because they have more dangerous enemies in common.

Chirac would’ve happily conquered Europe if he could’ve gotten away with it. He did everything short of war to weaken America. That ‘democracies don’t go to war with each other’ saying implies that the reason is that they’re innately peaceful. The real reason is that they’re almost all tied to America, who will intervene if two of her allies start shooting at each other.

Look at Greece and Turkey. They would’ve fought three or four wars in the last sixty years if it wasn’t for NATO and the US. Granted, neither are what I’d call true democracies, but you get the idea.

A few secs either side of 1:52 and Penn sounds a lot like “The Kid from Brooklyn” that gets featured here sometimes.
