Here's what I don't get.
Libertarians are worried that Obama's election spells the end of libertarian ideals.
Many libertarians have bought into the notion that only Republicans and by extension, conservative ideals represent the last best hope for freedom.
What I want to know is why do libertarians drink the kool aid from the Right?
Where were libertarians when a Republican and self-described conservative took complete advantage of a crisis to push through one of the most invasive restrictions on our privacy rights? (Patriot Act)
Where were libertarians when this same politician sought to restrict a woman's right to control the use of her own uterus?
When Republican supporting libertarians talk freedom, they should choke on their words.
Neither party has the market cornered on freedom.
I, myself, have rather libertarian views. I've even voted libertarian in the past.
What I won't abide is a hypocrite. And for libertarians to suck it up and vote for a party that seeks restriction of personal rights, then I call them for what they are: Liars.
