Wayne Allyn Root Explains How He Will Become President

At FreedomFest 2011, Reason's Matt Welch sat down with Wayne Allyn Root to talk about his media plans and presidential aspirations. Root said "America cares about jobs number one, jobs number two, jobs number three and jobs number ten thousand...". He beleives that America is focused on the economy and not as much on the social issues such as online gambling.

Held each July in Las Vegas, FreedomFest is attended by around 2,000 libertarians and advocates of limited government. Reason.tv spoke with over two dozen speakers and attendees and will be releasing interviews over the coming weeks. For an ever-growing playlist, go here now.

Libertarians and conservatives are greatly influenced by classical liberal thought. Modern day libertarians is very reminiscent of paleoconservative. Now the common definition of conservative is actually neoconservatism.

No one defines left as the way you described it and no one defines the right as the way you described it. You literally just made up your own definitions for what left and right are.

If you had ever read Marx, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Luxembourg, Proudhon or any other major leftist thinker you'd know the answer: its an obvious question. He doesn't favor worker control over the means of production, or the abolition of private property. He favors a corporation/finance dominated economy, expansionistic wars, the war on drugs... etc. Obama is a center right authoritarian, not a leftist.

[Arcturistheballer]

Are you honestly asking me why Obama is left wing?... what kind of question is that.

[nightpotato]

In what sense is obama a leftist? He might be slightly to the left of his opponents, but hes still not remotely marxist, libertarian socialist, or social democrat.

[Arcturistheballer]

I love how the left immediately disqualifies any candidate who doesn't act like a fucking pussy

You aren't voting for some one who you think you could be friends with you are voting for a leader.

[Arcturistheballer]

because left is what you have int he white house right now and it is fucking wrong.
