Interesting perspective. Thank you.

"As readers no doubt know, the mid-term elections next week have the chance to give Republicans control of the House and possibly the Senate. Most libertarians I know are in favor of this since an authoritarian-controlled Congress is (a) better than a an authoritarian-controlled one, ... So in my view, as a libertarian, it’s important for the authoritarians to take over control of Congress in the upcoming election."

Fixed, no charge.

TWTFTH (trying way the fuck too hard). We get it. We get it, dude. You're "not a Republican." CONGRATS. But if you are denying that Democrats are generally worse--far worse--than Republicans, then you will find lots of common-sense libertarians who disagree. Deal.

If you "think" that Democrats are generally worse -- far worse -- than Republicans, that thing you're doing that you think is "thinking" isn't.

The party out of power occasionally tries to sound not quite as thoroughly evil as the party in power, so as to eventually gain power and betray the idiots who believed them.

But in this particular case, Masters didn't bother to make even that minimal effort.

You sound like a minimum wage worker who thinks he has no significant income tax to pay so he doesn't care about the income tax. Hey guess what, I'm not a jellyhead stoner but I support the rights of you jellyhead types to stone out all the time. See what I mean?

Not even a good try. Enjoy wallowing in your support of anti-libertarianism, I guess.

Who are you, again? Do you have anything of substance to say, other than to bash people who actually draw a W2? Hint: It's NOT OUR FAULT that you are a nobody and under and un-employed loser.

I was last "un-employed" for about two weeks in the early 1990s. So I guess you're a little closer with that one than with the "stoner" try.

"People who actually draw a W2" doesn't seem like much of a compliment, really. But maybe that's because I've mostly received 1099s for a couple of decades.
