"Jim Bullington, a former city commission member who knows both men, told the Post that the two, who live next to each other in their gated community, often engaged in heated exchanges about politics; Boucher is a vocal anti-Trump socialist, according to Bullington, while the libertarian Paul voted against an Obamacare repeal attempt because it didn’t go far enough in severing federal aid."

"Boucher’s neighbors described him as an avowed socialist known for getting into heated political arguments. Boucher’s Facebook page revealed him to hold fervent anti-Trump beliefs, stating in one post that he hopes Special Counsel Robert Mueller will “fry Trump’s gonads.”

Yes they use the terms democrat, socialist, leftist, communist, libtard... interchangeably especially in KY. Just as some out here on the left coast use republican, flapdoodler, quockerwodger, and snollygoster interchangeably.

Edit: Anti-Trump is Socialist? Where do I sign up?

It's more who thinks that using violence against a political opponent is reasonable and acceptable? I don't find it acceptable and i'm of the opinion that politically motivated violence needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I'm a fiscal conservative and by default that makes me a small government conservative.

Guess what? I live in a development ruled by a HOA. I have no issues with it because I made sure I knew the rules before I bought and I believe in the rule of law.

It sounds like you're confusing hard core libertarians with conservatives.

Not necessarily. Lots of conservatives believe that the federal government should have veto power over two competent adults' decisions to marry. That cannot be considered small government.

That's the meaning (or practices) of Socialism? I hate to tell you, but many policies that govern our lives in the U.S. are defined as socialist. And my guess is that you support at least some of them. If not, which ones and why? Who said violence (of any kind) is acceptable?

You're seeing things through the tainted lens of blind hatred. I'm not saying Paul "deserved" anything (though others here have expressed that sentiment)--just that a rational explanation eludes us at this point.

Saying that Rand "incited" the attack blames Rand and excuses his attacker. That is exactly saying that Rand deserved to be battered.

Not really, even some small government conservatives think it's the governments role to issue permits and marriage certificates and other licenses and only those permitted by law should receive them. Why not stretch your idea from 2 adults, to 3 adults or 6 adults or 2 adults and a person of consent age? Having the routine of one man and one woman being issued a license to marry wasn't seen as particularly constraining 15 years ago when both Clintons and both Obamas said it was just fine.

Oh I did? I do support the punching of Nazis, that much is true. Well, I have no sympathy for punched Nazis, anyway. I'd rather violence not be a thing, but then there are Nazis, so that truly isn't possible with Nazis around. Nazis are only stopped through violence. History is there to teach us lessons, but you didn't get the memo.

Would you prefer Nazi violence? --because that is their endgame. What are you to do with your noble self when the devastated world of Nazis and their violence is laid before, and you think back about how you were "too proud" to stop them because your feels were so offended by the thoughts of punched Nazis? What do you, tajjy? How do you defend Nazi destruction and genocide?

I don't support Nazi destruction and genocide. I don't even support neo-nazi hatred and racism and I certainly don't support political violence. You and some like you on the left are the ones calling for violence here on these forums.
 
you just go ahead and keep projecting

see, were just beta cucks. you gotta look to you pals to find the vast majority of political violence.

reasonable people dont want the violence, yet what 1st world outsider looking in thinks the USA is reasonable? i certainly dont from an inside perspective.

with all that, nazis are not getting any sympathy from me.

"Socialist" is such an insult because its ideology rubs capitalist greed the wrong way. Rich people want to protect their assets, it's human to be greedy for those who don't see how damaging it is. I'm sure this is especially true of Paul's neighbors in this gated community. Greed is wired into our ancient brains but no longer serves us well in many cases. The socialist ideology is embraced by us in many ways, and is our salvation from so much potential human evil, yet it's also a dog whistle, a horrible insult especially for the rich.

They have to reach back to last century, the up and comers are the Antifa thugs, BLM rioters, socialist failed assassins and the Democrat thug that attacked Senator. Paul.

Our little fascista never gets tired does he. It's good that he's loyal though. Eventually he'll get that silver shirt.

The fine people that he loves to dance with. 😉
