Charles Johnson finally admits he has ‘parted ways with the right.’ Will the rest of the libertarians follow suit?

Posted December 1st, 2009 by Jenn Sierra

Last night, in a moment of forthright honesty, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs listed ten reasons he no longer considers himself part of the “American right wing.” See Why I Parted Ways with the Right, and note the contempt and hostility toward social conservatives.

I’m hoping that this will encourage more libertarians and moderates to just admit that a person who is socially liberal is a liberal. This is just my opinion, and this opinion is probably not even be shared by everyone here at FHK, much less on the political right. But seriously, folks, if your only disagreement with the left is who is going to pay to re-educate the American “religious right” (i.e. Should the taxpayers be forced to pay or the should the executives of international corporations volunteer to fund “progress”), then you’re not really a “conservative,” are you?

    So if one is anti Jesus in schools and pro pot legalization… I’m a liberal?

    It is OK. As a libertarian, I parted ways with LGF a long time ago.

    I don’t know Mr. Johnson but libertarians are easy to figure out. If it involves shrinking the government or fighting its growth you can’t ask for better allies. We have some of the brightest people around and we are all over the net. If you supported Bush when he was the prez and the neo-cons are pushing big government or what Obama is doing now we are fighting this all the way. The social issues are easy to settle amongst us by local and state decisions preferably by referenda or reeferenda as in the medical pot questions. On foreign interventions we stand with the paleo-conservatives and the peace movement against what Eisenhower called the military industrial complex. So what’s the problem?
