TapTheForwardAssist posted:Note that Israeli Weapons Incorporated now sells the civilian version of the IDF service rifle, the Tavor, in the US. This should be perfect for meeting his desire for a gun, "pissing off liberals", and lionizing plucky li'l Israel as being a place that's "got it right". That's really cool, if I ever go nuts and decide to spend a grand on a gun itd probably be that.

back in the 90's their official platform was that fetuses aren't people, so there's nothing wrong with killing them, hell, you could eat 'em afterwards if you want. then mr. purestrain switches from the republicans and all of a sudden "our unborn constituents need protection"

He said some mildly liberal stuff in the state of the union speech that everybody knows he doesn't actually believe. That's why he's suddenly more liberal now; he can't be expected to do anything about it. Get back to me about Obama's liberalism after he nukes our economy with the TPP deal, or after he finally gets the "Grand Bargain" to reduce the debt by cutting Social Security benefits that he's been pushing for since he was elected.

So normalizing relations with cuba, working with Iran on nukes and telling BiBi so tuck off is nothing? edit: Not to mention the tax increases he supports.

No, see our money is worthless because it's not based on gold. Gold is an objective standard of value. Fiat currency only has value because we say it does. Where does gold's value come from? Uh...

I've only known a handful of libertarians, and all of them have stolen from me or their workplace, and all of them use the shittiest, flimsiest justifications. I do not advise being friends with libertarians; it's hard to trust anyone who's political views boil down to "it's okay to screw ANYBODY over as long as you can justify it to yourself." How the hell do you even trust someone like that?

Gold, hell, all those metals have value because of SHININESS. Paper currency? Nah bro, no SHININESS. Coins are almost okay with libertarians because they're so SHINY. Bitcoins? Totally cool, all those websites are full of pictures of SHINY Bitcoins.

The next time he quotes Ayn Rand, remind him that Ayn Rand actually hated Libertarians and thought they were garbage.Ayn Rand posted:In the philosophical battle for a free society, the one crucial connection to be upheld is that between capitalism and reason. The religious conservatives are seeking to tie capitalism to mysticism; the “libertarians” are tying capitalism to the whim-worshipping subjectivism and chaos of anarchy. To cooperate with either group is to betray capitalism, reason, and one’s own future.

Actually, our currency isn't backed by gold anymore. We have a floating currency which means it's variable and determined by the foreign-exchange market. This is one of the ways purchasing parity is established
