Maybe it’s time to be more libertarian – LancasterOnline

Recently, I went to an ice cream place in New Holland, and the owners there were explicitly Christian. They had signs asking people to maintain a modest dress, and if customers were not modestly dressed, to please limit their time at the farm.

After our visit there, we went into Lancaster city. This happened to be on the day of the Womens Marches around the country. We ate at a cool place and saw some stragglers still holding signs. Within the windows of the cafes and bars, you could see young hipsters who would probably recoil in disgust at the signs found at the Christian ice cream place.

At the same time, those farmers at the ice cream place probably would have recoiled in disgust at the values articulated on some of the signs being carried around and the alcohol being consumed.

It struck me that we all live in our own bubbles, and thats OK. We just shouldn't be forcing each other to comply and support our lifestyles. We can engage and try to persuade, but force should be removed from the equation. Maybe we shouldn't force those dairy farmers to pay for birth control with their tax dollars, but maybe we also shouldn't be forcing young urbanites to adhere to a religious practice by forbidding gays to marry, or prohibiting them from smoking marijuana.

Maybe we should stop using the government as an instrument of force in general and start leaving each other alone to live the lives that we feel are best for ourselves. When you use the government to enforce your beliefs, you are willing to send a man with a gun to enforce them. Perhaps its time to start being a bit more libertarian.

Journalist Cancels Appearance on Real Time Because of Milo – The Libertarian Republic

LISTEN TO TLRS LATEST PODCAST:

By Kody Fairfield

A journalist, and frequent guest of Bill Mahers Real Time has cancelled his appearance on the show this Friday night because of Breitbart editor and conservative provocateurMilo Yiannopoulos being chosen as the lead guest, reportsDeadline.

The founder of the Intercept, Jeremy Scahill, has removed himself from the line up of the HBO political talk show in protest of Yiannopoulos saying in a statement released on Twitter that the booking of Milo is many bridges too far.

Deadline reports that Scahill has been a recurring guest on Mahers show over the past decade and that Scahill admits he might not always be popular with its audience.

[Maher]and his staff have created a vital platform for debate and discussion that at times I love and other times loathe, he wrote in the post. I know I fall into the latter category for some of the shows viewers because I hear from them every time I appear. Whatever one might say about Bill, he always allows guests to challenge him or disagree with him.

Scahill in his statement expressed that he believes Milo will incite violence against immigrants, transgender people, and others.

On Friday, a spokesperson for HBO told Deadlinethat Yiannopoulos would appear in the studio with Maher, and that, as with other weeks, an appropriate amount of security will be on hand.
