It works like this: Someone praises Snowden and then someone else says that Snowden needs to face the music - then I see that person who was praising Snowden refer to the dude who said that Snowden should face the music - as an NSA lover or some such thing.
I acknowledge that I don't read every thread, but what I do read - looks like what I just said. I also see a lot of mischaracterizing other folks such as 'supports everything the president does' when someone points out that the president is limited to a large extent by the republican controlled House of Representatives.
Perhaps, there aren't any folks here who are actual libertarians, but the people who I see behaving in this manner - whether they are a libertarian or not, they're forwarding a libertarian agenda. Either they're being intentionally dishonest, or they don't understand how the government works. In other words - libertarians.
