Tangenting for a moment regarding Colorado and marijuana. Libertarians may point to legalization of marijuana as a victory of "more freedom," but consider the outcomes of this legalization. Did Colorado become more free or Libertarian as a result of pot legalization? I would argue no. Libertarians who think in such short sighted ways will not only not get more freedom, but often work against themselves. It turns out many people who are pro-marijuana actually do not care about freedom.

So when we have a corruption with the system when it comes to fraud with tax dollars, how do we address this? Libertarians may not like the idea of having different parts of government coming down on one part of the government (since they are often purists), but maintaining principles would come at the cost of having nothing done. Because it is not merely the immigrants who are the problem here, but other parts of government who are enabling and possibly getting their own cut from the fraud.

Like many other agitators, she was there in attempt to disrupt ICE from carrying out their actions. And what are these actions? Dealing with those who were committing fraud and should not be in this country.

And here is where we need to confront Libertarians about the bigger picture. What is their plan to deal with this fraud? Usually they are fine grandstanding about how they are against having welfare of any kind, but they have neither the will nor the capability to actually cut any welfare.

A perfect example of the issue I have with many Libertarians came up again with the Renee Good shooting. No surprise, many Libertarians were against the ICE agent shooting Good.

The thing about this situation is that like many other scenarios, Good being shot was not an event that happened in a vaccuum. There are many, many other factors that cannot be ignored. One of which is why she even had her car there in the first place.

Regarding every rationalization or excuse the left gives for their agitators to be allowed to do whatever they want without consequences, remember this: they do not truly believe their own rationalizations. They simply use them as a cover to get their goals pushed. Their goals of their retarded leftist ideology being enacted is their ultimate principle. Every other action you see that is inconsistent is just them attempting to get to that end goal.
