1. Fascinating! This quote by Henry Wallace:

Henry Wallace
US VP 1941-1945
Speaking in regard to Libertarians

"They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesman for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective...is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjugation."

2. While I understand your point, calling these boneheads ''libertarians'' is like calling......

...Third-Wayers and DLCers, Democrats.

Thom, you really should do more homework on this, rather than to advance these untruths. These clowns are not libertarians. PERIOD. They stole the mantel of libertarian philosophers and went on to misinterpret the economic positions advanced by Adam Smith -- specifically the part about what personal freedom actually is.

They did so to cover-up their own inadequacies and greed under the guise of freedom. Their ''freedom'' is the right to exploit others and get away with it, under some ''Malthusian/Survival of the Fittest'' bullshit beliefs.

People need to know this shit. And to hear it from you. That's how they get hoodwinked all the time because they hear shit like this from reputable sources -- and it's not true. So you then end up helping them get away with it by not exposing them for what they are.
