I have never been a fan of the Libertarian Party.  Actually, I rather despise them.  They give true Libertarians like myself a bad name.  Most of the Libertarian Party’s platform is asinine, having very little to do with actual liberty.  Only a small percentage of the membership are true Libertarians. The rest only identify as Libertarians because the think that word sounds cool.

This past week Donald Trump spoke at this year’s Libertarian Pary convention, hoping to possibly garner their endorsement.  A sizable percentage of those in attendance behaved rather childishly, they booed and raised a ruckus with kazoos that were passed out by convention organizers.  That was nothing compared to the immaturity the membership demonstrated when they chose their nominee.

For decades, the Libertarian Party was the edgier conscience of the Republican Party. It was louder and prouder about wanting a small government rather than the behemoth that Republicans helped birth.  However, libertarians still recognized that smaller government must be grounded in the Constitution and morality. For example, Ron Paul’s pro-life stance reflected the fact that constitutional liberty starts with the first spark of life. This year, however, the Libertarian Party abandoned the Constitution and nominated a presidential candidate indistinguishable from the most radical people in Biden’s base. That’s good for Trump.

There has often been animosity between Conservatives and Libertarians.  Here is one of the primary reasons.

Frankly, most people really don’t think about the Libertarian Party. Depending on their political orientation, they either resent or celebrate it when the 2-3% of votes it gets in every election harm a Republican candidate in a close race.

This election I believe the Libertarian presidential candidate will steal more votes from Biden than Trump for this reason:

Now, the Libertarian Party has gone even further down the path to irrelevance because of its chosen presidential candidate, a guy named Chase Oliver. Oliver is essentially a rehashed far-left Democrat. Indeed, he was once a Barack Obama supporter. He is gay, pro-trans, pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-drugs, and pro-Hamas. However, he’s all in for big government when it comes to masks, vaxes, and lockdowns.

In other words, Oliver is indistinguishable from any other member of the Democrat party. He’s not supporting a small, moral, pro-American government; he’s just a radical leftist who’s found a welcoming new niche.

This article documents the radical positions held by Mr. Oliver.  I read thru the article and came to the conclusion that he is fine with all forms of tyranny as long as the tyranny is perpetrated by private groups rather than by governments.  This includes forced masking by businesses and liberal mob rule in the form of transgender ideology.

The Babylon Bee wrote a perfect satire article summing up this farce.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Libertarian Party has concluded its convention and nominated its latest presidential candidate: a 20-foot-tall, rainbow-colored, glass bong.

The gay, oversized marijuana smoking device edged out candidates RFK Jr., Donald Trump, and Sparklepaws the Transgender Furry to secure the coveted nomination to run for President this November.

It is exceedingly obvious that Joe Biden’s handlers will load him up with enough stimulants to animate a corpse so he can appear marginally coherent for the upcoming debates.  That was the approach they used during the last State of the Union Adress.

I thought it would be a fun bit of political satire to come up with some truly off the wall and absurdly ridiculous ideas that Biden’s handlers could also use to make him appear to be coherent.

One of the more amusing scenes from Harry Poter novels occurred in Prisoner of Azkaban when they used the locomotor corpus spell on Snape.  Am I a bad person to laugh out loud at a mental image of Joe Biden bobbing along like a Thanksgiving Day parade balloon with his head lolling to the side?  Is that any different from the way he normally appears in public?

Joe Biden could not actually become an Inferius because his body is still alive.  Mentaly he definitely would qualify.

The Weekend at Bernie’s approach would also be quite humorous although the services of a good ventriloquist would be needed.  Jeff Dunham would not be available because he is not a Biden supporter.

A Vulcan mind meld would work but would probably be too traumatic for the Vulcan.  Could you imagine wandering through the empty wasteland of the remnants of Biden’s brain.

I’ve seen many movies where voodoo was used to animate corpses.  Would turning Joe Biden into a zombie actually be an improvement?

Alien parasites would also work, like those in Robert Heinlein’s Puppet Masters.

There are just so many options available to Joe Biden’s handlers if they really wanted to be creative. 

Have you ever had the misfortune of debating liberals on social media?  I have far too often.  I never intended to, not once.  It was simply the unfortunate consequence of my continuous bad habit of posting stuff on social media that contradicts established progressive orthodoxy.

There is nothing that provokes a leftist more fanatically than encountering a social media post that they do not agree with.  They immediately engage in a holy war against that post.  The main objectives of their crusade against speech they disagree with is to bully the offenders into silence.

When provoked by ideas they disagree with liberals engage in the ugliest and most mean spirited personal attacks against those that dare voice them.  The absolute worst thing you can do if you find yourself troubled online by rabid leftists is show anger.  That is what they crave the most.  They are like puppies starved for attention. Deny them your anger.  Always maintain the moral high ground.

Combating a liberal’s usual diatribe with facts and logic is just as useless as shooting a werewolf with traditional lead projectiles.   They are completely immune to those weapons because they have been indoctrinated for decades by our abysmal educational system.  They have been brainwashed into believing that reality is subjective, all that matters to them is what they believe and what they feel.

The only truly effective weapon to use against liberals is ridicule.  One common side effect of progressive indoctrination is the erasure of their sense of humor.  The brainwashing hypersensitized the part of the brain that leads to the sense of being offended.  .

Facts and logic dressed up with non-mean spirited and humorous ridicule is the deadliest weapon you can use when engaging in verbal combat with liberals.

This past weekend my family and I had to be on the road at the ridiculously early time of 5 am.  We decided to buy a dozen donuts the day before so we could get a quick start, and not have to get up even earlier than necessary.  I was absolutely flabbergasted when the cashier informed me that the dozen donuts would cost $23.  That was twice the price I paid for a dozen donuts at the same establishment just a year ago. 

I was quite outraged over the drastic price increase.  I did not take out my anger at the cashier because I know that store employees have absolutely nothing to do with our nation’s inflation crisis.   I wonder how many customers vent their rage at these hard-working individuals who are absolutely blameless.

The next time we need to be up at an ungodly hour we will not be buying a dozen donuts.  We will seek a much cheaper alternative.  We no longer eat at McDonalds, or any other fast food restaurants, because $20 is way too much for a value meal. Also, we have drastically cut back on our pizza purchases.

We are far from alone when it comes to scaling back on our eating out.

American consumers love their fast food but price hikes are preventing them from enjoying a burger or burrito as often as in years past. 

Traffic to big fast food chains has dropped 3.5 percent in the first three months of 2024, compared to 2023. McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Popeyes, Pizza Hut, and Chipotle have likely sold millions fewer burgers, pizzas and burritos. 

How long before Bidenomics causes a complete collapse of the fast food industry?  It probably won’t be too far in the future.
