Philosophical consistency is the OCD of politics and small minds. Anybody can call themselves a Libertarian, many do. Most often those who have no idea what the words liberty and freedom mean. They are too busy raging on whatever is passing through their adrenals at the moment. I almost never call myself a libertarian, not since early adulthood. I know my politics are the result of a synthesis (with heavy but not overwhelming Libertarian influence).
But I truly enjoyed watching a lot of so called Libertarians turn a 180 when Bush43 called for Gulf War 2. Calls for slaughter, torture, turning all of Iraq into green glass on what was one of the most obvious put ons in World History. The price of exposing such hypocrisy was incredible, mostly still hidden and unpaid.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
