It is the dawning of the age of stupidity, no doubt about it. Being Libertarian leaves me with a unique point of view but it doesn’t ease the searing pain.
Stupid thing # 1 – We elect a man whose claim to fame is the use of bullying tactics to get loans for people who didn’t deserve them thus, contributing to the mortgage crisis. On top of that, he ran as the solution to the problem he helped cause! …and We, the land of the free and home of the stupid, elect him, WHY?!!!
I recently viewed a video of an ELEPHANT EATING FROM ANOTHER ELEPHANTS BUTT and enjoying it. This reminds me of the government forced, shaky credit deals pushed on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fannie and Freddie were forced to eat the crappy deals from the likes of President Obama and his picketing Acorn pals and Barney Frank from the House Banking Committee… and… they liked it.
Stupid thing # 2 – Some of us actually think that we can use the government to solve any large-scale problem. (health care, credit crunch, high oil prices, global warming, etc) The Government running private businesses is like the fox guarding the hen-house, or should I say, like the farmer giving the fox 40% of its hens in exchange for it not eating all of them. In the end, the fox will eat all the hens, then say “it wasn’t enough.” (kinda like this second bail-out thing)
Just remember, the Government’s major function is to increase in size until the country is completely bankrupt and the populace is completely corrupt. I believe in freedom, (complete freedom; not the type most people believe in) freedom of thought, speech and action. I’ll give you an example… If you are an asshole racist and you want to say racist asshole things, you should be allowed to. Also, if your neighbors hate your racism and they alienate and disassociate from your no-brain, racist-ass, that is their right. I also believe that if you own a business you can hire whoever you want. If a business owner decides to hire nothing but young, blonde, well hung men, to cater to the gay neo-nazi clique, then it’s his/her right to do so. I do not know enough to judge your business model nor should the government.
I am a libertarian with a small “L”. I believe in the free market society, pure capitalism, freedom of speech and action, and last but not least, minimal government. I do not belong to groups. This is a major conundrum of being a libertarian. As a Libertarian belonging to any group, including the libertarian party, is hypocritical. The fear of group think and cool-aide drinking is strong and can’t be overcome. Being a libertarian and belonging to a group of thousands of people in order to further your ambitions is socialism and the antithesis of libertarianism.
