Ah, libertarians, the very definition of misplaced idealism. Always insistent that the invisible hand of the free market can solve everything and makes everything better. Even though limited federal involvement (herp derp don't want to violate states' rights) made pretty much every single civil issue WORSE in this country. Remember slavery? Or segregation? Or how about all those southern states that wanna teach kids that the world isn't billions of years old?

Don't you have a Ron Paul convention to go to or something?

If you seriously think the subsidized price of a smartphone is its true cost, you are deluded. Remember the standalone PDA market? Top-end models cost between $500 and $1000. Add phone circuitry and it goes up. No wonder smartphones killed PDAs quickly. When the phone carrier is kicking in $500 or more of the cost, people adopted them quickly. You remind me of the jackholes I dealt with when I was in cellular sales who bitched about the price of a second battery for a phone they got subsidised. "Why is the battery $50? The phone was free!" No, moron, the phone was $300, but the carrier paid that on your behalf to get you signed up for service.

Correction: Android is about data mining opportunities for Google, and you federate shitheqds are so hypnotised by the bullshit Open Source rhetoric that you are all bleating like sheep for the opportunity to hand it all over to them. Motorola is shot selling phones, and don't give a shot one way or the other about you or any other neckbeard idiot.

A healthy application of skepticism towards my own views rather than those that did not agree with me. It wasn't easy, but once I decided that I cared more about holding as many true beliefs and as few false beliefs as possible, I quickly discovered just how shaky and indefensible my position was.

Also, I was an Alex Jones disciple for a while, and over time I noticed that he was actually insane, and when he tried to talk about science it was a big red flag. That man is an idiot and he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time.

I suppose that could be the case for those that believed that Bush masterminded the whole thing by himself, but the Truther community is largely composed of those who believe the evil NWO global shadow government that secretly controls everything and wants to kill us all masterminded it. Meh. It's all bullshit and it kind of makes me nauseous to think about how credulous and ignorant those people are.

No no no no no. You have obviously never been a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. 9/11 Truthers are invariably libertarians of the Alex Jones flavor. I'd wager that the percentage of 9/11 Truthers who are democrats is VASTLY lower than the number who would define themselves as either libertarian or paleoconservative. I can vouch for this as a former truther.
