Re: drill, baby, drill!
I can't think of a clearer reason why liberatarians will never be a legitimate party than this. Not only do they have the political savvy of a knocked up unwed teen on meth at a fundraiser, they don't even know themselves what they stand for.
First clue: rand paul talking about corporate rights to discriminate, allowing himself to be backed up into a corner of intolerance because he wants to argue the finer points of unfettered freedoms of private organizations. Zach from Saved by the Bell has more understanding of humanity.
Second Clue: (the clincher)
We should not tar and feather BP because "accidents happen" and that it's unamerican to hoist fiscal responsibility on the company.
Welllll...........
I distinctly remember reading in the ron paul manifesto that the libertarian/capitalist solution to corporate pollution is to hold them fully responsible for the damage they cause other individuals. Because that's how the free market will work. See, you don't have to **REGULATE** companies to be good boys and girls. The free market's invisible hand will self motivate companies to be pollution free.
idiots. Well, as a long term ron paul admirer, and sometimes a willing libertarian, my desire is for BP to get wrung for every drop of asset, and to wish them godspeed, and don't hit your multinational ass on the door on your way out. Retire to Iran. Oh that's right, you propped up a puppet government there that's led to a religious oligarchy, Ok well there's the Bahamas. Oh that's right...
