Your definition of libertarian may be factual, in theory.

In the real world, in actual practice, ill stick with mine.

Me too. And I used to think I was one.

Your definition of libertarian may be factual, as an academic and theoretical exercise.

In the real world, in actual practice, ill stick with mine.

Does it matter?

It's an amusing discussion on a college hockey board, but does it really matter how you define it or whether someone fits within that definition? I personally doubt anyone fits perfectly into a commonly accepted definition of conservative, progressive, socialist, libertarian or whatever. In fact, I suspect most people might say, "I'm a libertarian" or "I'm a conservative" or "I'm a progressive" and then define that category precisely in line with their own beliefs. When it comes time to define other categories, they're stuck in the argument you and Kep are having.

Tales in swamp draining: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/11/trump-coal-1163128

President Donald Trump on Monday publicly pushed the Tennessee Valley Authority to save an aging coal plant in Kentucky that buys its fuel from one of the president’s top supporters.

...

The 1,150-megawatt plant gets the bulk of its coal from a subsidiary of Murray Energy, according to data from the Energy Information Administration. Robert Murray, the CEO of the mining company, is a major Trump supporter who has personally lobbied the president to take other actions to help the ailing coal industry, particularly in regions where he sells coal. The White House has shelved a proposed coal bailout plan that has been among Murray's top priorities, although the Trump administration has rolled back numerous other environmental rules the magnate has criticized.

Murray is a prolific GOP donor, and his company gave $1 million from his company to the Trump-supporting super PAC America First Action in the last election cycle, among other big contributions. Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, who is awaiting Senate confirmation, lobbied for Murray Energy among other clients before joining the Trump administration, including joining the CEO and other company officials in a 2017 meeting with Energy Secretary Rick Perry to discuss Murray's policy proposals. Wheeler has said he did not write the action plan Murray presented to the Trump administration.

Most libertarians are 20-something recovering Republicans who haven't yet embraced the necessity of taxation, public infrastructure, and social programs.

I think you are right.

No, no way. I agree with both of those decisions and I do not think either of them hand Trump anything.

Agreed. This is CNN trolling nothing more.

Apparently the Senate Intelligence committee is saying they found no "evidence" of collusion. However, this tweet sums up how I feel, and also sums up what I've read today.

This is going to be the Trump formula for at least the next year.
