You can only compromise if two sides want to compromise. The left does not want to compromise. They just want to keep pushing and moving the goal posts. Case in point, Gay Marriage. The win a huge victory on Gay Marriage and most were like, great, now we can move on to more important things. But just as soon as that was done we next start hearing about men peeing in women's bathrooms and how that needs to be ok and the XY chromosome doesn't mean anything any more. They just keep pushing. Unfortunately, we are being forced to decide when is too far and when we need to push back.

I'm a libertarian in philosophy. If they would just leave me alone and keep their issues and the government out of my life, I wouldn't care. But instead they want to push their issues and big government into every aspect of my life. I find that very hard to stomach.


You're no libertarian, friend. Libertarians DO leave you alone.....but they also leave all those LGBT people alone.

Libertarianism really boils down to one simple law/theory......if you don't harm another's property, it's legal (where property can be life, assets, health, etc.).

The frustrations you list aren't harming you or your property in any way. You're only harmed by finding the entire LGBT nonsense disgusting. A libertarian would never talk about "pushing back" against such a personal thing as sexual orientation.

Why not just come out and say you're a republican? What is with those on the right embarrassed to be republicans so they hide behind the libertarian label in public but vote straight GOP in the voting booth?

Then, by your own definition you yourself aren't a libertarian then.

1st - I am far more Libertarian than anything else but I do not fit neatly in any box just like most people.

2nd - I mentioned the Gay Marriage / Bathroom issues to illustrate how the left never stops pushing their agenda forward and therefore compromise isn't likely. Heck, what they chose to call themselves, "progressives", perfectly illustrates that point.

3rd - My opinion around the bathroom issue doesn't contradict my Libertarian views but rather supports them. My feeling is that whatever anyone does in their privacy of their own home is their own business. I never had any issue with Gay Marriage because of the way tax laws are written. But with the Bathroom issue I am forced to care because I have a young child and I do not want nor do I think I should be forced to have a conversation with that child explaining why a Man is using the woman's bathroom or vice versa. In other words, this agenda driven issue is now impacting my life.

Sexual orientation quit being a personal issue when it became a political football. I don't go around telling everybody I am heterosexual. Why? because, frankly nobody cares. I don't care or want to hear that someone is homosexual, or transgendered or bi-sexual, or they are a man who thing=ks they are a woman or they are a woman who is trapped in a mans body, etc, etc.

Saw where a politician in some western state was married to a woman who used to be a man. (They got married after the transition from man to woman) What? This person was a man, but wanted to be a woman then "married" a woman? I guess they were a lesbian trapped in a man's body? Nothing makes sense anymore.
