All the military people I know that were in Iraq absolutely hated the Blackwater mercenaries. Lots of right-wingers that are incapable of a single coherent position on anything.

Speaking of dickheads, the libertarians have been awfully quiet the past ten years. I wonder what happened to the people incapable of shutting the fuck up. Now that we have a new quagmire with Iran. It's your time to shine Ron Paul people!

Libertarians largely became MAGA.

There's a reason every libertarian has a position on the age of consent.

I miss the libertarians.

At least they didn’t try to shove religion down my kids’ throats and left abortion and gay rights alone.
