What do you all think of Alex Jones? I personally like him...hes got a ton of great info..but he does not know how to control himself. Your thoughts? He represents the more extreme side of Libertarians, and I believe he is one of the bigger reasons why people reject Libertarianism. He is outspoken, rude, and thinks the government is behind everything. If his shower were to run out of hot water, it'd be a government conspiracy. This brings a bad name to Libertarians. He does make a lot of valid points, especially regarding Syria. But the few times he is invited onto a mainstream station to discuss it, he blows it. There was an interview with Piers Morgan where he did not let Piers get a word in edgewise. It made Libertarians look very bad, and sadly that is how a lot of people portray Libertarians these days. In other words, he's an alright guy...but I think Libertarianism would do a lot better if he either toned it down a lot or just got off the air. I don't disagree with him on a lot of things, but he takes things too far. He has grown bitter, and skeptical. While this isn't a bad thing, it is a turnoff for moderates who might otherwise become Libertarian. |
