My husband's former co-worker/acquaintance (Libertarian atheist; age 30 ) was all in for Ron "White Power" Paul, who happens to be a Christo-fascist like most teabaggers: http://www.politicalresearc...

Yeah, he is: http://dneiwert.blogspot.co...

Emailed Mr. Atheist a ton of links to Ron Paul's actual record (legislation/videos) and while he attempted denial at first, I didn't let up.

Then he got a girlfriend and is now into women's lib, insisting we must elect Clinton :)

I swear, Libertarians just need to get laid.

Not buying that tired third party trope. Handing Trump's neo-Nazi Tea Party menagerie all three branches of government and a military arsenal is beyond heinous. Some fucking conscience (and I make it a point to tell them so).

If they want to argue the point, they've got a pissed off German to contend with. History lessons are on the menu and nobody is getting a pass.

Libertarians are always this stupid. Just ask Bernie about the Libertarian Party platform (would have been good of him to point this out during his dry run as a pain in the arse): http://www.sanders.senate.g...

The racism in and of itself is pretty disturbing: http://dneiwert.blogspot.co...

And no, their party platform has not changed: https://thepoliticalspectat...

Only Trump and Stein are stupid enough to Broadcast their Putin boners (lady boner in the case of Dr. Jill).

Libertarians, on the other hand, tend to keep it on the down-low and nobody is paying attention to Ron Paul's fascist globe trotting: http://exiledonline.com/a-p...

Ron Paul's starring role in European far right pro-Putin/anti-American hate fest, calling for shuttering of American military bases in Europe as Putin seeks to expand his reach/dismantle the European Union: http://www.dialoginternatio...

Not a sliver of daylight between them, aside from the pot issue:

Tell her to pull her fucking head out. is she willing to sacrifice the country to far right lunatics looking to privatize everything under the sun and eviscerate human rights (Trump's campaign looks oddly similar to the Libertarian Party platform) simply because she has fee-fees about Clinton's last name?

Nobody gets a pass :) Educate the damn youth. It's our job.

You go, WK!

Not sure, maybe both. I know that I could never go to work high, I just wouldn't be on my game.

That's true about the dispensaries just about everywhere in CA. I would be happy to pay for my "Prime" weed delivery. Oh wait, I do!!!

They don't understand how a reality not written by Ayn Rand works.

While that is true, I'd suspect it's also far less profitable. A driver can't see as money customers per hour as a clerk behind a counter can, so that drastically raises the cost of wages. Also, mileage reimbursements.

But seriously, haven't all humans over all time, on a primal existential level asked themselves, "What is Aleppo?" What is Aleppo, indeed, Gary.
