Libertarians now.
I think its hilarious.
I can't provide specific examples but I've noticed this on 3 different occasions on TV this past week
and then on the post about the 911 Documentary producer being a hack.

They are all jumping ship

"Well you know I'm more of a libertarian than a strict conservative" Ha Ha that is SOOOO Funny!!!

1. Which has got to be pissing off the Libertarians NO end
And they'll do something about it as soon as they can find a way to organize that doesn't involve having someone tell them what to do.

2. I have found that the best way to weed out the cons from the
Libertarians is to make a comment like "Wow, You are for equal rights for everyone, even minorities?" or "Who knew that you supported gay marriage!" That drives out their true nature.

9. And don't forget
after sunday services, "christians" are supposed to go stone to death all those who dare work on the sabbath. Unless, "christians" just pick and choose in the bible the passages that justify their hate and skip those they find inconvenient. I love it when they say "but thats in the old testament." I then ask them where is homosexuality called an abomination in the new testament. So glad they only believe stuff and don't know much at all.

10. Being a vegetarian, I also remind them
that in the Old Testament, they should not eat pork, shellfish, etc! I like to use this line on Easter Sunday when my fundie aunt brings out her large pineapple spiked ham! But to be fair, I also like to infuriate her by not calling it meat, but calling it animal flesh...She REALLY hates that...haha

So yes, they have to pick and chose. They need people to work on Sunday so they can all crowd into the Cracker Barrel for lunch and gorge themselves on sweet tea and fried chicken...

13. Never saw that. Though I know they hate to be identified. The warmongers
"who hast no name". And if you double dog try and call them who they are.. they call you anti-jewish.

14. Tucker Carlson especially. He started doing it before the rest
started jumping on the Libertarian band wagon.

16. Yes. I've noticed it especially on C-span
they seem to have to find a way not to say that they go along with the Democrats or they try to blame the Democrats equally.
