Someone who wants the government to stay out of their life as much as possible.

[seancarristhebest]

No actual libertarian would think they should tell other people how to live. That’s why there are no libertarian politicians.

[MiamiManiac]

Every day I get closer to becoming a Libertarian.

[samoanjake]

I used to believe in Democrat Ideas. Now I believe in Libertarian ideas because I believe government does too much and they can be overbearing. I believe that every citizen has right to choose what happens they want to put in their bodies.

[Youbeentagged]

Ron Swanson was one of the biggest reasons I became a libertarian.

Then I read about economics and the free market, and I stayed a libertarian.

[weibullguy]

People are afraid of OTHER PEOPLE's freedom.

[kassper]

“People are not comfortable with freedom”. John said it. I sold exhaust tips for exotic cars and watched people’s mind break when I gave them hundreds of options. It was far more successful to just make 6-8 options and let ppl pick one. They can’t handle too much freedom and I think that experience mirrors what he is saying here.

[annalee]

It takes a higher level of personal responsibility to have sustainable freedom for the entire group. Unfortunately, most people do not take full responsibility for their own lives. They’d rather have some entity give them the rules.

[jaydee]

I became a Libertarian/conservative a long time ago.

[PaleRider.]

In my early 20’s I knew, I was a democrat. Stupid kid. Then I discovered Rush Limbaugh and I knew I was a republican. Then! Like a light bulb in my brain, I heard Matt kibbi and John stossel. Wow! What an eye opening Experience! Everybody mind your own business? Don’t tell me how to live my life? What common sense idea! Libertarian power 🤘🏾

[j.g.mcbell]

On the flip side I don’t think it’s fair to allow one person’s legacy to ruin an entire day of the year for all eternity.

Is everyone born on 4/20 not supposed to celebrate their birthday because they were born on the same day as Hitler?

Is every child born on 4/20 *required* to be a pothead?

You’re putting too much weight in a date and it’s meaning. Someone shitty was born on every single day of the year. Should we cancel Christmas?

[thekilla]

Please talk about "doctrine of discovery". I think it will open a lot of eyes.

[kmancometh]

I'm not Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Independent, NO PARTY. I am a free thinking, freedom loving American citizen who wants peace and friendship across the globe. Parties only divide us and make us into tribal mentalities of defending your group while attacking other groups. I listen to others and use history, science, rational thought, philosophy, and other factors into making decisions on how to solve problems and find ways to improve situations. People need to stop defending or attacking people because they have a "R" or "D" next to their name. Such a waste of time to listen to people unwilling to engage in healthy debates because of what party did what. Nothing will get better, and the lying, corruption, insanity increasing, IQ decreasing will just get worse.

[selfiekroos]

Libertarianism is a great strength and virtue.

[Little-bird-told-me]

John Stossel is really smart guy. I always thought of him as a this funny TV host but this guy is deep ! He should in public life because he knows what he is talking about.

[thecitizenpodcast]

If 420 is a national holiday we can smoke on hitler packs 💨

[sarcodonblue]

How about thinking for your selves and not following an ideology or political party?

[scsmith]

I do not know how much Pat listens to the viewers of the podcast. Many people have been calling for Adam to be door shot for a long time but he is still there. Pat might know something that the viewers don't.

[willbrink]

John S is the last true news man and fellow Libertarian.

[Jerry-mfyx]

Michael Malice said it best, the average person doesn't want to be free they simply want to feel safe. Feels before reals society
