REGULATION VACATION CELEBRATION!

PSA has gotten itself another subscriber.

Stockie- Way to discuss without ever exposing your position. I would hazard a guess, but you strike me as the disingenuous type. Perhaps you've nothing better to offer?

She may have been wrong but she wasn't all bad - she wanted people to stand up for themselves.

Well he is a bona-fide wingnut. I have a difficult time understanding how well educated people can buy into the wingnut or libertarian bullshit without a second thought. They have the critical thinking skills to look up the real information for themselves but instead choose to swallow the effluvient of the GOP/RP nut p.r. machine.

"Actively opposing the notion of 'shared values' or the idea of 'the common good.' Is psychopathic behavior if you ask me... "

It's selfishness at its worst.

If his bible for life thinking is "Atlas Shrugged" he is IMHO a crypto-fascist or an idiot.

Good one robb. My wife's business partner is a wingnut and he was rabbling a while back about sending a copy of Atlas Shrugged stating that it would help us to understand him. I got a good laugh out of that.

Well, you know me, I'm no follower of the philosophy; but I believe -- if it's of the basic principles ICTN218 is talking about -- it's much more of a desirable opposition on policy issues than is the crazy-ass, god-based shit that calls itself the Republican Party.

In the end, of course -- and like in the Somalia Beaches vid -- we know what we'd get with Libertarians in charge.

''If you think that is trading true freedom for false security, so be it.''

So stop your simplified rethorical nonsense about ''Libertarianism is the radical idea that you don't own other people''. As long as you've got a society at all it will always work at a societial level, how much is just a matter of degree.

Ayn Rand, Mistress of Selfishness, was an idiot. But anyone who takes her seriously is a bigger idiot.
