I was a disillusioned liberal who has just watched an over-an-hour interview on CSPAN of Rahm Emmanual. Thinking I was a liberal and listening to this idiot spew words with no meaning attached, I knew something was amiss. This very program came on CSPAN not long after and David's words were infused with so much more meaning...and it sounded as though the things he was saying were true! I will never forget that night I watched this program for the first time. My thanks go to David.
All these haters talking about libertarianism, ans what are they hating? Freedom, they are attacking it through toungue in cheek prods and ad hominems because they can't muster any real arguement about the actual ideas.
Why is this? Its because anyone who actually attacks liberty, the freedom to choose, and the right of private property just looks like a raving lunatic, even to the average person.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
"One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is "Libertarian." People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it's just one more bullshit political philosophy." -George Carlin
