'What's a Libertarian To Do?': Podcast
Nick Gillespie talks with The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes and Jim Swift about CPAC, the future of the GOP, and why conservatives should be into pot legalization.

Earlier today, I taped a podcast with The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes and Jim Swift. We talked about the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which I'm attending near Washington, D.C.; the brain rot infesting much of Republican politics today; what if anything libertarians have in common anymore with right-wingers; and why pot legalization makes sense even (especially!) for conservatives. It's a fun, wide-ranging conversation. Click here or below to listen.

Drop trou and bate like your life depends on it?
"Earlier today, I taped a podcast with The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes and Jim Swift."
Shouldn't they be attending a Niskanen event?
Good to see that the Weekly Standard continues to spew its noxious crap
Complain about Bill Weld, wank, and then complain about other SO-CALLED libertarians?
And then wank?
"Thoughtful, serious, respected"...Lol!
Why are they even letting these NeverTrump grifter$ anywhere near CPAC?
Watch anime and larp?
Join the Legion of Skanks?
"What? It's all dudes. Where are the skanks? God damn you Dave Smith!"
The skanks are in the audience, bro.
Search the Internet for vintage black-and-white photos of women in lingerie?
Color photo of what real 1960s HS girls do after-prom! (SFW)
That is someone's grandmother now.

Whatever Momo tells you to do?
Or the Lizard People.

Distribute more They Live sunglasses.
One of the most anti-libertarian movies ever made. It was like a socialist's wet dream of how he thought capitalism actually worked.
Maybe, though there were actual aliens.
All I remember are scary faces and fistfights.
That's odd. I figured the hidden messages in They Live were from the government.
Always the correct answer.

I ate a marijuana chocolate chip cookie and laughed at the fragmenting democrat/progressive/socialist/communist party.
The GOP should support ending the drug war since it's un Constitutional. This is a no brainer. It may bring young people into their party and further damage the democrat/progressive/socialist/communist party
A libertarian would be shocked.

I was about to say that I heard this from Tim Poole. Stuff like this should serve as an obvious example of why "hate crime" should not be a thing. Without that this barely qualifies as graffiti or criminal mischief especially when the suspect is a child. It is literally criminalizing thoughts and expression
You mean the politics of less war, criminal justice reform, and a booming economy?
What's a Libertarian to do? Bitch, moan and complain about pot, the border and abortions. Let the adults run the show and keep this country in the hands of people who appreciate it
I know, right? How juvenile, to demand liberty! Why, those serfs should just be happy with the little amount of liberty that they have. After all, the Dems would be worse! Vote Team Red!
Interviewing a member of Bulwark?
*snicker*
Yeah, neocons and Libertarians are totes the same.
