Damn it, Deckard….I have been trying to tell you libertarians all along that you’re all wrong….that you need to change your radical ways and modify your extreme beliefs.

Now you’ve really gone too far and even have the Pope pissed at you.

You libertarian assholes are in deep doo-doo.

The Pope said:

Libertarianism is an “antisocial” radicalization of individualism, which “leads to the conclusion that everyone has the right to extend himself as far as his abilities allow him even at the cost of the exclusion and marginalization of the more vulnerable majority.”

This is quite remarkable. Of all the political philosophies that exist, Pope Francis has singled out and attacked libertarianism to say:

I cannot fail to speak of the grave risks associated with the invasion of the positions of libertarian individualism at high strata of culture and in school and university education.

Yep, the Pope nailed it.

But, since you have never listened to me....why in the Hell should you listen to the Pope, right?

the idea of ‘living well’ or the ‘good life’ in the communitarian framework

A gay canary Communist thug!

Add the pope to Gatlin's LF Canary list. He must have studied your posting history for inspiration, before giving this speech.

I do like some of what the pope has said, but he seems to have been smoking something before making these points.

...it minimizes the common good, that is the idea of ‘living well’ or the ‘good life’ in the communitarian framework,

In other words, individual rights BAD - communitarianism (socialism) GOOD.

You've been pushing that agenda for some time now Gatslime - now you use the Pope (a New World Order stooge) to try and legitimize your nefarious world-view.

I do like some of what the pope has said,

I can't say I'm a fan of anything he has to say.

It is utterly hilarious that Gatlin would use the words of this globalist Pope to try and legitimize his jihad against libertarianism.

I wonder of Gatlin also agrees with the Pope on immigration and that all religions are equal?

You've been pushing that agenda for some time now Gatslime - now you use the Pope (a New World Order stooge) to try and legitimize your nefarious world-view.

I just can't stop laughing!!

Oh my side !!

Yep, the Pope nailed it.

The Fascist Pope

..why in the Hell should you listen to the Pope, right?

Why should anyone listen to him?

Only the “libertarian” ideas of the virtues of private property, markets, and economic freedom – the ideas that the pope routinely denounces with a passionate hatred – could have prevented the destruction of the Argentinian economy.  He seems to think that the only problem with Peron was that he didn’t go far enough with his brand of socialism (fascism – “national” socialism in the twentieth-century German variety — being just another variety of socialism, as Friedrich Hayek explained in detail in The Road to Serfdom).

You can mask your ignorance and continue in your confusion to ask:
     Why should anyone listen to him [Pope Francis]?

But that is the wrong question to ask.

The proper question to ask is:
     Do multitudes of people the world over listen to Pope Francis?

And the answer to that question is astoundingly:
     YES, they do.

Therefore, you can paste links, call him a fascist forever, stamp your little feet, then roll on the floor and scream you personally don’t like him….but after all of that, when go check any list of the most powerful people in the world….you will always find Pope Francis in the top 10.

The World's Most Powerful People:
     #1 Vladimir Putin

Like it or not, and you have made it abundantly that you don’t….that’s reality and you need to face it, Sport.

Reality can become one of your best friends, if you will simply let it. Stop fighting it so hard.

You can rest assuredly that when Pope Francis “warns against the ‘invasion’ of libertarianism” people all over the world are listening.

If you want to seed libertarianism around the globe, you need to have the Pope as a friend.

Cue old Willie …

The proper question to ask is: Do multitudes of people the world over listen to Pope Francis?

And the answer to that question is astoundingly: YES, they do.

Who gives a shit what a false prophet has to say.

Roman Catholicism is a CULT!

Keep drinking the kool-aid Gatslime.

...(Gatlin and the Pope) seem to think that the only problem with Peron was that he didn’t go far enough with his brand of socialism (fascism – “national” socialism in the twentieth-century German variety — being just another variety of socialism...

Ahem….you and I are not discussing a “problem with Peron.”

Stay on subject.

You can call Roman Catholicism a cult. But when you again ask “who gives a shit what a false prophet has to say” [and try to strengthen your position by calling the Pope a “false prophet”]....I will continue to give you the same answer based on fact and not an emotional reaction like you.

Check any list of the most powerful people in the world….you will always find Pope Francis in the top 10.

And so, I say to you again …

Like it or not, and you have made it abundantly that you don’t….that’s reality and you need to face it, Sport. Reality can become one of your best friends, if you will simply let it. Stop fighting it so hard. You can rest assuredly that when Pope Francis “warns against the ‘invasion’ of libertarianism” people are listening. If you want to seed libertarianism around the globe, you need to have the Pope as a friend.

Now, read this out loud to yourself:

Regardless of what I, Deckard, call the Pope or what I say about the Pope….I acknowledge the fact that the Pope is one of the most influential men in the world. And millions upon millions of people do listen to him and believe what he says when he warns against the “invasion” of libertarianism.

There, you should feel better now that you have faced reality …

I acknowledge the fact that the Pope is one of the most influential men in the world. And millions upon millions of people do listen to him and believe what he says.

Millions of deluded sheep - like you listen to him and cares what he says.

The Pope does not speak for me or anyone else I know.

The Pope does not speak for me or anyone else I know.

That has never been in question….and neither does the Pope speak for me, as you try to insinuate.

The question you asked was: “Who listens to the Pope [when he warns against the “invasion” of libertarianism]?”

I have answered that at least three times and you still keep trying to dance away from accepting a truthful answer based on reality and try to spin with deflection.

You can stop trying to do that now….you are making a fool of yourself.

Obviously you listen to and agree with the pope's message.

From my perspective, you are nothing more than a globalist who claims to be conservative.

Sod off wanker.

When I am posting to you, I continually cannot help but think that your mother must have dropped you on your head when you were still a baby.

Do you know if she did?

The Shadow Pope, Benedict XVI has been unable to convert Francis to Christianity.
