Thats a conversation for a different thread.Dead7 you think it's a coincidence that some of the best economies in the world are countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and Germany (and Iceland and Denmark, but they aren't quite at the very top economically like the other five)?
They must be so capitalist, have small government, no healthcare, low taxes, little regulation, no social programs right? Oh wait.....

I agree, this is starting to go off topic. My bad.Thats a conversation for a different thread.
In a weird way I understand, sort like other raging issues like immigration reform.....Very much so, but frankly, we need people from all walks of life to be angered by this. We can worry how they got here later.
Infowars has been all over this.
How are you going to wait for evidence when the police department is trying to destroy evidence![]()
I'm amazed no one said anything about this after the practical martial law implemented in Boston after the marathon bombing.
why do libertarians have to take the baton on this anyways?
the only libertarians that care, and at this point, this is only theoretical, and that is the ideological part (ie reason), a small portion of the fringe conspiratorial types, and maybe some urban 2nd amendment advocates. everybody else essentially understands that they either are cacs or work for cacs. you cant cling hard to "states rights" and the right to discriminate in public without having lots of actual racists and unfortunate uncle ruckus types behind this ideology. not saying those values themselves are a sign that you are racist, but that those values do attract racists for obvious reasons. without it being said, everybody knew why this would not get much sympathy from libertarians in any notable way.
also, many on the libertarian spectrum are not pure in their principles. many actually like it when government and unions are used against people of color. even though cliven feels the feds have no authority over him, he did say that they should be on the border keeping mexicans out. lots of people want to have their cake and eat it too.
and yet show very little aversion to the historical abuses meted out by local law enforcement.
They have small homogenous populations with relatively little habitable land...and live around nations that supplement their need to be entirely autonomous.Dead7 you think it's a coincidence that some of the best economies in the world are countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and Germany (and Iceland and Denmark, but they aren't quite at the very top economically like the other five)?

Its really and truly not a legit comparison
because they just look at countries and say "oh look at what A is doing compared to B"Agreed. I don't know why certain people keep bringing them up in that context....
