    Don't try and bring intellect or higher order or deeper understanding into this. This arm-chair "I know what is good for you better than you do because I'm smarter" is one of the most annoying traits of any authoritarian.

    You see, authoritarians can't help but to shove their point of view down other people's throats.

    I am very non-authoritarian/libertarian, and if you want to see how you "score" on the scale of left/right authoritarian/libertarian try taking the "political compass" test and see how you stack up.

    If one is libertarian, they can have whatever leftist or right-wing views they want. They could be a flaming bible thumper, they could be a rabid gay hater, they could despise foreigners, whatever, but as a libertarian, even a despicable bigot has very few ways to force his views on others. Its about being hands off first and foremost.

    Firearms ownership, something I see more with geek friends, is a cornerstone to expressing libertarian viewpoint. Why do I need it, do I hunt with it, is it for self defense? Reply: none of your business, I don't have to have a reason or justify my needed a firearm to you. If you don't get that or agree with that, its simple, you have serious issues with being an authoritarians and want to control what other people do, say and own as property.

    Libertarians see the constitution as a unique opportunity to have a system where root laws are actually obeyed and not circumvented. In fact, its in the bill of rights that no laws be made to try and pervert and side-step the bill of rights. It should also be noted, and again, authoritarians have a BIG problem with this, is that both right wing and left wing idiots have this issue with "The People" meaning collective rights. Collective rights simply do not exist, and they mean nothing. Anyone who even talks of or utters the concept of a "collective right" is a complete and total stupid fool. End the conversation with this person immediately, if it isn't painfully obvious that collective rights have absolutely no meaning and things done in the name of the people, whether left or right wing in nature, are almost always evil, then nothing can be done to salvage that person's thinking.

    I'm going ot go over how our jack booted authoritarian government fails us, advertises "good things" for those who subscribe to its evil, and why not being fundamentalist about the constitution is extremely dangerous.

And they, the Fed, they print crap-loads of this money I save for my hard work and dilute its value by printing more (injecting liquidity.) Pull the rug out from under me! If I don't pay the taxes on the property, they can even take my property away from me. Change the rules. Change the rules of money. Change the rules of taxes. Add more taxes. Seize property.
