    If rainbow sidewalks were actually unsafe, the engineers would know it already (because that’s their fucking job) and wouldn’t need a goddamned politician to tell them.

    That’s 100% proof by itself (as if we needed any more) that Abbott is a bigot and a liar.

      Whatever happened to that “libertarian” way of thinking? Used to be that they wouldn’t listen to no goddamn politician now every one of those gadsden flag touting fucks are on their knees awaiting their favorite politician to tell them to say “ah”.

        Actual libertarians support people like Bernie Sanders. (Yeah, he’s big on social programs, but he’s also bigger on civil liberties than most Democrats, let alone Republicans.)

          One of the corner stones of the libertarian movement was opposing global banking, and the surveillance state that bush set up. And then black president and then poof, we’re now the party of Sarah Palin?

          The main stream libertarian voice and narrative was stolen in 2010 and alas we never really got them back, even in the time of tyranny. No one in power wanted us on the sidelines talking about the importance of balancing liberty and security through policy. Certainly not fiscal discipline, or accountable government. I’m appalled by the people I meet who call them selves libertarian. Most of who are just conservatives that started smoking weed after seeing Joe Rogan do it.
