The Humble Libertarian original

How committed are liberals really to ending gun violence? And do they really have the will for an exhausting spiritual and political fight to accomplish that? If the answers are "Very!" and "Yes!" then... I. How much should we cut the Dept of Defense's budget? 😋 I'm a libertarian I like budget cuts. 50 percent? I think 50 percent is what we should cut. They're the most gun violence people in the world! Using Trump's method of asking for too much so you can negotiate down to a better deal... Which is not necessary for most normal reasonable people, so it's mostly just super obnoxious and time-wasting.... 75 percent. 😛 II. We'll still be like five times the next biggest military! lol And nobody's going to come over an ocean and conquer one of the best things they've got going for them– That America is here and alive and free, baby! 🌾🌾🌾 The only reason they have as much military as they d...

With a Republican sitting in the Oval Office! Four American soldiers died in an ambush fighting in Nigeria's civil war on October 4, 2017. Most Americans didn't even know the U.S. military was in Nigeria, including top U.S. Senators! "The war is now morphing. It's going to places we haven't heard of before..." "I didn’t know there was 1,000 troops in Niger. This is an endless war without boundaries and no limitation on time and geography. You’ve got to tell us more and he [McCain] is right to say that." Does that sound like something John McCain would call Ron Paul a wacko bird for saying, or something Lindsey Graham and John McCain would say?? Well it's Lindsey Graham and John McCain who said that this Sunday. Not even for partisan points. Not like it's a Democrat in the White House. What do you do when even the staunchest war hawks are war weary ? It gives me hope. #BringAmericaHome #antiwar #libertarian #wackobird

First of all, let's get this out of the way first. What was wrong with what Trump said? All the news headlines are clipping off the statement to make it sound dismissive and insensitive: "He knew what he signed up for." Well this is deceptive editing, because what he said was : "He knew what he signed up for... but when it happens, it hurts anyway." If you idiots keep doing this shit, you're going to get Trump reelected in a landslide. This is why so many conservatives love Trump for slamming the media all the time. You guys are all dishonest as hell. There are plenty of actually terrible things about Donald Trump that you can criticize him for without deceptive editing. I'm still trying to figure out what is so horrible about what Trump said. Does Rep. Wilson know what the military does? Yes, the soldier did know he was signing up to fight in wars. Do all these Democrats who are acting appalled today know what happens in wars? S...

The following is a list of 100 Anti-War quotes. Many of them come from America's venerated Founding Fathers like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. Many also, come from conservative voices like Pat Buchanan, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Ayn Rand, and even George W. Bush (before he became president and went back on his campaign promises to keep America out of open-ended wars and nation-building). So if your family, friends, or co-workers question your patriotism for opposing war, refer them to this list so they can see how the American Founding Fathers felt about war. And if you like this list please follow the links above to my FB and Twitter and Like and Follow The Humble Libertarian to get updates from me in your news stream. 1. "As far as I am concerned, war itself is immoral." -U.S. WWII General Omar Bradley 2. "The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the ins...

As tensions between the U.S. and North Korea rise, Donald Trump could show some real and effective leadership by consulting with some of his home city’s finest and most talented police officers: the NYPD Crisis Negotiations Team. By employing their professional negotiation techniques, used to neutralize volatile situations with hostage takers, people trying to commit suicide, and other people who pose an immediate danger to themselves and others, Donald Trump could go down in history as a brilliant negotiator and a good president that made the world a safer place to live... Please read the rest of my article which has been graciously published at The Jack News . And someone tweet this at the POTUS. Let's see if we can't save the world from a nuclear war with some New York know-how.

4/24 commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on 24 April 1915 from Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey). 235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals were arrested that day. Eventually 2,345 prominent Armenian leaders were detained. The event has been described by historians as a decapitation strike, which was intended to deprive the Armenian population of leadership and a chance for resistance. By Yerevantsi - Own work , CC BY-SA 4.0 These detainees were later relocated within the Ottoman Empire. Most of them ended up murdered by the government. This was just the beginning. Eventually 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up, men, women, children, and the elderly... ...and systematically murdered in forced death marches through the Syrian desert and in concentration camps. Headline of New York Times, December 15, 1915 Barack Obama Promised That When He Was President The US Would Finally Recognize What Happened As a Genocide. But he never kept his word. ...

At the bottom of this post, I'm going to link to what is probably the most important article you can share this year. But first, here's proof of what Donald Trump really thinks about the Navy SEAL he honored in his first address to Congress... Even Donald Trump's enemies in the media and the Democratic Party, who have been relentlessly, fever-pitch critical of everything about his candidacy and his short time in office, suddenly heaped praise, admiration, and respect for Donald Trump for comforting the dead soldier's wife on television and calling him a hero. The entire four minutes of this grieving woman crying for her loss is very difficult to watch, and naturally stirs up a lot of emotion and empathy for her: Of course, Donald Trump's use of her emotions and ours as we watch is exploitative, as at least a few commentators are willing to point out, despite the completely false accusations that doing so is somehow disrespectful. This is textbook war pro...

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper names. A special message for those who celebrated Veteran's Day:

(Warning: Graphic Footage) Washington doesn't merely lack the legal authority for a military intervention in Syria. It lacks the moral authority. We're talking about a government with a history of using chemical weapons against innocent people far more prolific and deadly than the mere accusations Assad faces from a trigger-happy Western military-industrial complex, bent on stifling further investigation before striking. For the facts, please read my latest article at PolicyMic, a list of 10 chemical weapons attacks carried out by the U.S. government or its allies against civilians . And after you've read it, check this out: THL Exclusive Bonus Footage for The Article (Warning: Graphic) I had included several very graphic photos of the victims of these chemical attacks in the PolicyMic article linked above. I wanted for people to see just how horrifying Washington foreign policy and chemical weapons are and just how real these attacks were, just how real thes...
