Liberty in Liberal Boulder

Moonbats may not believe in economic freedom, but other freedoms are guarded jealously:

BOULDER (AP) — A couple of nudists say their landlord is wrongly discriminating by trying to get them to cover up while gardening.
Robert and Catharine Pierce have been accused by their landlord of being a nuisance by gardening wearing only thong underwear, plus pasties for Catharine Pierce.

The landlord has threatened them with eviction if they don't put their clothes on. But 58-year-old Robert climbs atop the barricades and bleats:

We want our freedom. We want exactly what the law gives you, and we don't want to be harassed about it.

Neighbor Emily Hink doesn't care if they want to walk around naked in private, but…

There are so many parks around here, and there are lots of kids around. They're on the corner lot right across the street from the community gardens and the Waldorf school. The whole street is lined with kids.

However, the important thing isn't to behave with a modicum of decorum in front of children, but for the Pierces to do their thing and let it all hang out, while the government seizes at least half of our wealth, sinks our grandchildren up to their necks in debt, and prepares to regulate industry back to the Bronze Age in the name of the global warming hoax. That's what freedom means, with moonbattery in ascendency.

On a tip from Graycat.

It has seemed to me that the only liberty and pursuit of happiness that the moonbats would like to allow you is gay sex. Too bad if that's not your particular cup of tea.

pay some kid 50 bucks to complain that they are showing themselves to them... that puts them on a pedo list, they have to move... problem solved...

A little off topic, but how does a heterosexual celebrate gay pride month? Non-Irish drink and wear green sweaters to celebrate St Paddy's Day, Non-Hispanics drink Coronas and eat tacos for Cinco de Mayo. Heck, even white, liberal, whackos wear dashikis for Kwanza. Are we supposed to have sex with indiscriminate partners with like plumbing? I'm confused.

As a Libertarian / Conservative Constitutional Fundamentalist, I like ALL the Amendments to the Constitution.

The Loopy, Loony, Lying, Lobotomized Lemming-Like Leftist Liberal Losers ™ just seem to like the ones they can use to justify their depravity.

It's not as if the couple is having sex in the front yard. A body is just a body and they're just gardening. There's nothing "dirty" about a naked body until you're *taught* that there's something dirty about a naked body.

If the city's law allows them to walk around in public with only a certain amount of covering, the proper course of action for someone who doesn't like it (the landlord or neighbor) would be to take it up with the city council. If there's enough public support, the law will change. If the city's so liberal to allow this behavior, perhaps the landlord and the neighbor are the ones who don't fit.

Does it make you happy to know that most of the comments on that website are supportive?

But the smelly hippies don't want anyone to have private property where they can enjoy such leisure activities without inflicting it on other. Why, it's almost as if they want to cram it in everyone's face.

Funny thing is, these morons don't seem to understand that without private property, even much more reasonable activities stand to be controlled by the State. There's a hefty dose of cognitive dissonance going on with people who have extremely libertarian attitudes on "social issues" while also being leftist collectivists on economic ones. Anyone who wants to be able to say and do pretty much whatever they feel like had damn well better defend private property, or they are gonna be in for a rude awakening.

Yeah forest, I agree.

I can understand left libertarians, they are at least consistent in their stance on limited government even if they are essentially anarchists, I get it. I can understand social conservatives who support welfare, public education, and social security. They have a soft spot for other's well being even when people are the cause of their own problems.

But this is just entitlement gone wild, like permanent 2-year-olds. "I want what I want, you must tolerate everyone of my bizarre demands and pay me for the privilege to live as bizarrely and unproductively as I choose."

These jerks are living in a apartment they rent and their whinning about their rights as stupid annoying nude jerks?

It certainly would be a shame if their garden we're to suddenly sprout large amounts of poison sumac. hint. hint.

Thanks for not posting a picture.

More important topics hot off the moonbattery press!:

Gasp! There are nudists in the world all of a sudden. I'm certain there weren't any before. It must be the fault of our new president!

As a "right" libertarian I don't mind nudists myself, but I also don't mind those who mind nudists. Most of the time it's some kind of publicity stunt. If I was a nudist, I'd make sure I could keep it to myself, is all, and I'd think others would, too. It's just a shame people can't respect each other, eh?

Yes, nudists have everything to do with this stuff. Naturally, I see this connection just as all of you do. Its perfectly clear.

It's clear only to an idiot like yourself.

It was an inditement of just SOME the garbage LIBERALS have foisted on the world, which includes PUBLIC NUDITY.

What, you say you DON'T promote public nudity? You must be a NUDEAPHOBIC prude!

I think its a minor story and that the conclusions drawn in the last sentence are perfect moonbattery crap. Ugly, smelly, and mostly unfunny. (although sometimes the photoshop bits on here do crack me up)

Kids see way worse on TV that some lady's old saggy boobs next door. Its just a body relax. They should show more respect for their neighbors opinions, but what are you gonna do? You want to arrest them? You do don't you?

Why do muslims hate America so much they refer to it as the "Great Satan" and eventually fly planes into buildings?

I'll tell you why: Because of THE chief liberal export: SMUT.

SMUT is the only thing a typical liberal knows how to manufacture.

Do you realize if you can squeeze "Lily-Livered" in there, you'll be up to a string of eleven long alliterated L-words?

I know you'll take it under advisement!
