Top 4 Moments of the Presidential Debate That Will Enrage Libertarians

1. No-fly means no-buy

This might not be anything new to the people who follow politics religiously. Both candidates came together and agreed that due process should be thrown out the window when it comes to the right to protect yourself if you’re on a poorly-managed government list. As someone who loudly and proudly advocates for the right to bear arms, this infuriates me. This “no-fly” list does not notify those they put on it. The people who are placed on the list have no due process to state their case and be given the reasons they are suspected. Once they are on this list, it is nearly impossible to get off.

Personally, I think of my state, Missouri. It didn’t take too long before our, at the time recently-elected Governor Jay Nixon released a statement to state patrol that anyone representing a Gadsden flag is a possible domestic terrorist. Not only do I proudly fly that flag, but I also am known to state my views online, publicly showing my disdain for Nixon. For all I know, I could very well be on that list for two simple reasons: the first is because I enjoy representing an important piece of history; the second is that I am known for politely and very publicly speaking my mind.

In conclusion the debate was a huge waste of time if you watched it. If you didn’t watch it, don’t worry, because nothing definitive happened. It was mainly just a personal cat fight going back-and-forth. Occasionally, a broad statement on a policy was made, but nothing of any true substance.
