Tommy Robinson, Steve Bannon, Vladimir Putin, Marine LePen, Geert Wilders, Erdogan and their Supporters are undeniably Liberphobes

Get the Liberphobe mug.The idea that licentiousness among consenting adults (legalized drugs, prostitution, gambling, etc.) can co-exist with limited government (confined strictly to preventing anyone from infringing upon the life, liberty, and property rights of anyone else) under a constitutional republic in an environment free from interference by over-zealous right-wing Bible-thumpers, tax-and-spend liberals, or other external agents of oppression.
The main problem with this delusional notion of co-existence is that it runs afoul of an annoying immutable natural law - roughly translated as "nature abhors a vacuum" - that's understood and exploited by every drug pusher, credit card issuer, Las Vegas casino, and Madison Avenue marketer and even the bailout-happy U.S. Federal Reserve and which was summed up by Edmund Burke:
"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as they are disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good in preference to the flattery of knaves.
"Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
"It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
-or as John Adams said:
“(The U.S.) constitution was made for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate for any other.”

Two tenets of Libertarianism taken from the Libertarian Party's Statement of Principles:
"We favor the repeal of all laws creating 'crimes' without victims, such as the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes."
"The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired property — against aggression"

A myth invented in conservative think-tanks as part of an all-encompassing effort to co-opt and/or corrupt all of the best ideas of a socially responsible, free country: In this case specifically, the existence of a free and curious media that functions independently from the government (but see also: affirmative action, feminism, social security, constitutional protection, judicial restraint, environmentalism, and social liberalism in general).
"Thank God we have Bill O'Reilly and Fox News to tell us the news as President Bush would have us know it -- before it gets filtered through the liberal bias for that pesky 'truth' the mainstream media is always harping on.

Get the Tree hugging Liberal mug.A person of very liberal and socialist political views. The term is derived from their lack of emotional appeal to the good old USA, and a refusal to acknowledge America as the greatest nation on the planet due because their penis is as limp as a sock. They often are very smug sometimes often because of their Ivy-League degree, but often for no apparent reason at all.
Obama: America needs to start being like the rest of the world and doing what the rest of the world tells us to do. After all we are no better than they are right?
Ronald Reagan: Let's set the record straight you limp dick liberal. America is the last best hope for man on earth because of our commitment to protecting and proliferating democracy. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks, I'll do it the American way.

Get the Limp Dick Liberal mug.A libertarian is consdiered to be the "classic liberal" (i.e. the true american who believes in the principles this country was founded upon---private ownership and individual rights). What is an American, you ask? An American is a man who accepts others with open arms, who lets others live as they please because he expects the same respect from them. An American is a man who knows his rights, and defends them, but more importantly knows and respects the rights of his fellow man. An American is a man with honor and modesty, not a man who boasts his superiority over others. An American is a man who knows that his rights end where the rights of others begin, and that ALL men are created equal under whatever God he worships.
A libertarian passed by me the other day and gave me a dirty look, so I went into his home and stole all his property, seeing as how I'm an IRS agent and can legally get away theft.
