Libertarian Santa

[tomdemaine]

I herby state that I have infringed on the property rights of somthing awful dot com and I duely apologize. May Ann Rand have mercy on my soul.


Libertarian Santa believes that taxation is one of the greatest evils perpetrated in the world. Taxes should exist only for the purposes of national defense and to finance a very limited judicial arbitration system. The Federal government should be all but powerless and all rights should be fundamentally based on property rights. In Libertarian Santa's world all morality is essentially replaced with a value system that favors wealth and possessions over any sort of governmentally-enforced individual liberty. Laws should be set by an individual community. If you do not like the "no blacks" rule in your current community then you are free to go find another community, hopefully one consisting entirely of blacks. Libertarian Santa describes himself as socially liberal, but you'll never actually hear him championing a socially liberal cause.

It drives you crazy to see a black man turned away from a job on the basis of his race.

Ann Rand, lol.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

1. You have no clue about libertarian (e.g., I have zero problem with government funded Fire Departments or the CDC)

2. You have no clue about Ayn Rand in addition to not knowing how to spell her name. First, she hated libertarians ("the hippies of the right"), second you said

NAUGHTY

Rand called racism " the vilest form of collectivism."

Rand despised the idle rich.

So much for your ignorance disguised as humor.

I think perhaps there should be a (pure) logic test that must be passed in order to be eligible to vote.

Blah, talk about strawmen! Most of these are really just anti-liberals and have little to do with libertarian principles.

Bad attempt at humor, tom.
