He got his chance to see his opponents up close and personal.
He claims to be Christian and Libertarian. Hm? Libertarian? I was a registered Libertarian many years ago. The reason I left the Libertarian party is because in a pure Libertarian society there would be very little government and maximum personal freedom. Freedom to do pretty much what ever you want to do. The reason I'm not in favor of this philosophy (at least not at this time) is because society has too many predators.
Libertarianism would work great in a society free of predators. In such a society people would do whatever they wanted to do with little government interference. In such a society there would be no predators. People would respect the law of compensation. There's no such thing as a free lunch. You're entitled only to what you earn. If you think you got something for nothing, you will have to pay for it. Unfortunately there are many people in society who do not respect the law of compensation. They think they can get something for nothing. As long as we have people who think like this we will have predators. And as long as we have predators Libertarianism will not create its utopian ideal, it will create a society where the stronger will feed on the weaker.
An excellent example of why Libertarianism will not work in today's society is right there in Joey Gibson's camp. The White Supremacists.
As said in the local news, some of the same people holding torches at the Virginia rally are present here at the UC Berkeley rally. These white supremacists are predators who relish the idea of Libertarianism. A society free of government, a society where citizens can do whatever they wish with very little or no government interference. A libertarian society will become barbaric with predators still in it.
So, that's why I left the Libertarian camp and Joey Gibson is wrong.
His own t-shirt describes him. He serves no man. He's self-serving. That's a very predatory way of thinking.
