Libertarian men who think women's issues are nothing more than a petty distraction sort of summarizes all the flaws of libertarianism (or at least that strain of it).

I hardly think stealing from folk to pay for birth control is a pressing issue, in fact, if it is an issue at all, it is to stop taking from one individual to give to another. It's pure bribing and fear-mongering for votes using other folk money. It's no different than large Corporations feeding off the taxpayer. As far as equal wages, wages should be a contract mutually agreed upon by the parties involved, and not the State to dictate to us what we can or cannot agree or not agree to. Why is there only an equal pay for women? You think no man gets payed less than women? The Government should not be discriminating against anyone for any reason. Equality under the law my ass. It's folk groveling at the Government for special privileges and they'll sell their soul (liberty & freedom) in the process.

That's the thing, you guys have no priorities whatsoever. You could give a rats ass about the millions of folk dying and being oppressed by the USG at home and overseas insofar as you get your paycheck or birth control, or whatever other material object. Even your own kind are disgusted at the lot of you folk (Re: Glenn Greenwald). I quite like that man. He's principled and has his priorities in order. Who the hell cares about some damn birth control when you are being enslaved and millions are being killed.

See, I don't think in groups like you do. I care about everyone, not just some special class of people. Perhaps you need to start reading some Paine or something to understand that the taking from one will reach unto himself. The only flaw I see here is the labeling of groups for special privileges to which all others are the negative benefactors.

Case in point the mod Haemonculus claiming that daycare of all things is a woman's 'right' now. Some people still can't realize that the State isn't an institution ran by Angels, but by men, men that have the same base urges as any other, and what makes it worse is the ideology and rationalization of the violence and coercion it embodies. At least commerce is non-violent human interaction, something we all should strive for.
Thank you bureaucrats for all your hard work, your commitment to public service and public good is essential to the lives of so many. Also, for Pete's sake can we please get some gun control already, no need for hand guns and assault rifles for the public

I think personalizing it was a mistake. I know it was. You can do better. You value freedom, respect comes in with that. Haem hasn't cast a vote in congress, nor signed the most vile legislation to come out in the last 15 years. She is is subject to everything we are subject to. It's more about what now...

This clip isn't the shortest thing, but I think it sums up the GOP's shame/dillema in a nutshell. From a Tea Party rally with Josh Tolley as the speaker. The crowd is loving the message...the organizers....not so much. Freedom in America is the subject matter. He gets yanked off the stage around 15 minutes in. He was fine till he got personal with Mittens(always think of the I love catz Starcraft video when I say Mittens) I suppose . He endorsed Ron, and curtains... Too bad, it was a pretty good speech. I suppose it doesn't hurt that used my forum signature in his speech.

I used to like trumpets, now I prefer pause. "Don't move a muscle JP!"

The reality is that the entire western political discourse is tantamout to theater. Nothing of substance is discussed by the media or the establishment and anyone who attempts to offer cogent analysis or criticism of the status quo is dismissed as 'fringe' or 'unelectable'. What matters is how the military industrial complex controls everything, how monetary policy steals wealth from those who are not a part of the political class to give it to those who are and how law has become perverted from a tool to protect property rights into an instrument of plunder. Instead of a substantive debate on foreign or domestic policy what you hear is gossip, partisan bitching and pointless wedge issues that keep average people divided so that the elites can loot them at will.
