Get real! Shakespeare “stole” from the bible, and the Greeks.
The performance was great. Emmy-worth.
Improve your mind, sickboy. It’s called “reducto ad absurdum”.

Modern “liberalism” is all about stealing.
That’s why I call “liberalism” the philosophy of the thief.
It all started when they stole the name liberal from libertarians and made it the perversion of “liberalism” that we all know today.

So I don’t find it suprising at all that you took Carlos Mencia jr’s side on this, guy who is obsessed with pitching and catching but is better known as Glackin.

“Liberalism” has been around since Hobbes and Adam Smith. The first cite of “Libertarianism” I can find is from 1789. Who’s the thief?

I’m sorry. That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve read today. Liberalism was formed from the word liberal which is derived from the Latin word for freedom, liber.

Not a Newt fan, but much less of a liberal fan. It’s simply amazing how their entire approach to solving problems is to ridicule people rather than to present ideas or engage in debate.

Love to see yours, if you ever have one.
Liberal ideas? Try anti-trust laws, the 40 hour week, child labor and education laws, Social Security, the Pure Food & Drug Act, Medicare, childhood immunization.
Conservative ideas? Cut the above.

Hahahaaha! Classic. Thanks John and Stephen!

Did you even read up on Thomas Hobbes and Adam Smith?
Their Definition of liberal is diffrent from yours.

You are the one claiming ownership and theft. Republicans used to have “Radical” attached to the front of their Party. I pointed out Hobbes and Smith were called “liberals” before “Libertarianism” appeared.

But that’s because you don’t think.
Look at what Hobbes and Smith stood for then compare it to classical liberalism.
Then comapre that to libertarianism.

Because libertarians are the original liberals.
Then you insane,statist wind up toys came and stole the name.

There is NOTHING original about “libertarianism”, or your insults.

Right. Ever notice how everything is going to destroy America? Liberalism? The Tea Party? Fox News? George Soros? I hope the FBI is keeping an eye on all of these freedom-haters. Oh wait….the FBI is evil, too.

Hahaha…..I missed it. I have no problems with Libertarianism. If I was a little more confident in our citizenry I would call myself one. I just don’t think laissez-faire economics would solve all of our financial problems.

I think Rand Paul is a little over the top and I disagree with most of what he says. His little slavery diatribe the other day was particularly laughable. That said, I’m glad he’s at least trying to ask Obama what’s up with the freedom bombs. He had a pretty good interview on Anderson Cooper the other day.

If you don’t mind my asking, to who or what do you give your confidence to?

The only people I can give my confidence to is my friends,family and the people of the town I live in.

Oh, it sounds like I’m pretty much the same. I just try and be an active citizen that’s charitable. I think the difference is that I think that if Americans at large didn’t take our democracy for granted we could have an effective and capable central government that tends to society’s needs that aren’t addressed verbatim in the Constitution. I agreed with Obama’s negative document argument. The problem with the Democratic party today is they just put on a pout face and act like they care. That said, they still haven’t made me furious enough to vote for the GOP except in pretty rare circumstances.

That’s cool.
But “effective and capable government” usually needs to be powerfull in order to properly function.
Most of the time power will corrupt government like cancer will kill a prostate.
And when a government becomes corrupt, historically, that means bad news for the people.
So with respect, I will stick with a small constitutional republic over a large central government.

I realize that facts just impede the forward progress of your cause (I wonder if that’s why you don’t get anywhere?) but the notion that liberals “stole” libertarians’ trademark is beyond ridiculous and verges on the pathetic. With which you are intimately associated.

Just for yucks, here’s a little truth:

From the Online Etymology Dictionary

liberal (adj.) late 14c., from O.Fr. liberal “befitting free men, noble, generous,” from L. liberalis “noble, generous,” lit. “pertaining to a free man,” from liber “free,” from PIE base *leudheros (cf. Gk. eleutheros “free”), probably originally “belonging to the people” (though the precise semantic development is obscure), from *leudho- “people” (cf. O.C.S. ljudu, Lith. liaudis, O.E. leod, Ger. Leute “nation, people”). Earliest reference in English is to the liberal arts. Sense of “free in bestowing” is from late 14c. With a meaning “free from restraint in speech or action” (late 15c.) liberal was used 16c.-17c. as a term of reproach. It revived in a positive sense in the Enlightenment, with a meaning “free from prejudice, tolerant,” which emerged 1776-88. Purely in reference to political opinion, “tending in favor of freedom and democracy” it dates from c.1801, from Fr. libéral, originally applied in English by its opponents (often in French form and with suggestions of foreign lawlessness) to the party favorable to individual political freedoms. But also (especially in U.S. politics) tending to mean “favorable to government action to effect social change,” which seems at times to draw more from the religious sense of “free from prejudice in favor of traditional opinions and established institutions” (and thus open to new ideas and plans of reform), which dates from 1823.

libertarian (noun) 1789, “one who holds the doctrine of free will” (opposed to necessitarian), from liberty (q.v.) on model of unitarian, etc. Political sense of “person advocating liberty in thought and conduct” is from 1878. U.S. Libertarian Party founded in Colorado, 1971.

Alz said:

A reasonable criticism if Colbert’s intent was to solve problems. However, that’s not what he does for a living. What he does for a living is deflate windbags in a very, very, very funny way.

Now, I’ll be the first to agree that there’s a net social benefit to puncturing windbags, but it’s a pretty roundabout way to “solve problems.”

Look at Hong Kong before china took over and tell me libertarianism won’t work.

I lived in Hong Kong for five years before the handover in 1998 and a year thereafter. It was in no way libertarian. Thought, behavior, the flow of money, social interactions, the obligations owed by the citizen to the state and by the individual to the family were intensely constrained by tradition and law. And that’s just a fraction of the millions of ways Hong Kong *wasn’t* libertarian.

Perhap you think that the freedom enjoyed by the ultrarich of Hong Kong — indistinguishable from the ultrarich of Shanghai or the ultrarich of Macau (or New York City if you get right down to it) — to live beyond the law and enrich themselves fabulously at the expense of everbody else . . . perhaps you think that’s one of the definitions of “libertarianism.”

But if you do, I seriously wonder if you are fit to judge the meaning of any world longer than two syllables.

Well . . . that’s not precisely true. Illusory Man is dead wrong about Hong Kong being libertarian, but the rule of law (law that was a curious combination of British pettifoggery and Chinese bloody-mindedness) applied to 99% of the people. By the time of the handover, the triads had long been reduced to non-influential collections of mostly stupid petty criminals, and the bureaucracy and police force were admirably honest.

The deals that took place among the top 1% largely escaped from view, and I don’t doubt for a moment that some very high crimes took place at that level. Just not enough to seriously destabilize or poison pre-handover Hong Kong.

I know quite a few people who get almost all their news from Colbert, Maher and Stewart.

No surprise that the people with whom you associate are dummies…birds of a feather, dontcha know?

I thought Lithgow’s performance was brilliant and I like the idea that Colbert could see the irony in the press release. Newt, the snake, is on an ego trip and it is interesting to see that even the wealthy repugs have limitations on how much money they will spend on losing. He only took in $35.00 for his campaign

The response from the Newt Gingrich’s camp sounds something like Charlie Sheen might say, only in Shakesperean terms.

Lithgow=no talent buffoon. He would NEVER have made it into acting had his father not bankrolled his agent.
