Don't forget his son Rand. He's on his way to the Senate, hopefully.

Libertarians generally do not have enough suspicion of businesses. I understand it's a reaction to big government, but big business is in bed with big government, and libertarians always just want to conveniently forget about that. That's why they're actually fascists, just like the libs.
 
Widespread acceptance of libertarianism would be like Lord of the Flies. Its actually more like anarchy than fascism.
 
This is libertarianism:

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

It is not anarchy, it is limited government which neither takes money from people nor interferes in their quiet existence. Both parties in this country are so far removed from that. Democrats believe it is the job of government to take care of us by taxing us, and the Republican party still thinks it is the job of government to save peoples souls. My soul and my well being are my business and government should stay out completely.

A good explanation of Libertarian ideals.

Jefferson is describing conservatism.

As The Ultimate Conservative, as I have told you several times now, I don't give a rat's ass about your rotting soul.

Bullshit. You have consistently advocated using your religious views as the basis for laws and have insisted that morality comes from your religion only.

The ultimate conservative? You are not even close. You want more gov't intrusion into private lives, bigger gov't (as long as its bigger in areas you want) and are against the rights of the individual. That may be the new right-winger, but it is certainly not the classic conservatism. It is the conservatism that has been hijacked by the religious right.

You and TJ have almost nothing in common. You are a big government right winger. You want the government to pass laws that it has no business being involved in. Anyone that believes the government should legislate sexual behavior or marriage is not a Jeffersonian. He would throw rocks at you and your ilk.

Awesome that you continue to misrepresent my position on queer marriage, since it shows the weakness not just of your position but of your character. :good4u:

Misrepresent? He is representing it fine. You have even spoken out against civil unions for gays. You have said that our morality comes from the Bible. You have said gays cannot be conservatives.

Soc is accurate.
