Here is an article written by some ignorant SOB basically stating that Libertarians want to live in a Grand Theft Auto type world. You know like GTA IV where the game takes place in Liberty City. He is stating that Libertarians support lawlessness and chaos.

This dude can kiss my ass. The real definition of a Libertarian is someone who believes in freedom, limited government and self-sufficiency. This also includes the freedom of someone to conduct themselves in a manner that you may not approve of, just so long as they don’t violate your or anyone else’s right to life, liberty or property through force or fraud. Here are some excerpts from this ridiculous article from The Chattanoogan:

Libertarianism, a fairly new movement in the United States, is propounded by politicians, business people and pundits. They say it is the only way America can regain its pre-eminence in the world. But it is really just another name for egotism, narcissism, and sociopathic behavior.

It is not a new way of thinking, but is based in erroneous aristocratic assumptions regarding wealth, power and position that are still held by many. They believe they are smarter, better, and therefore, more deserving than the rest of us.

Many high achievers (and those who believe they should be, but…) act as if they are aristocrats. They deserve to be treated in a special way, socially, in business and legally. Other people believe they are to be treated aristocratically because of their birth into the right family, education in the right schools and position in the right society. They think they should not have to pay a fair share of taxes, have laws limit their actions, or be critiqued for their lifestyles.

Instead, they deserve to have several McMansions and condos and to buy up huge tracts of land for their own use, posting it to prevent others from enjoying it. And, of course, they imply, “Don’t question us about paying for what we have. After all, we’ve got money, even if we also have huge debts.”

The money they made is frequently not due to inventiveness or even hard work. Instead it is made by cooking books, cutting corners, ignoring laws, and making false (or at a minimum very questionable) statements in documents, contracts and advertisements. They also prey on people’s weaknesses, pride and greed, but mainly on their ignorance …

… In the last century, the communist governments in the USSR and China as well as Nazism were built on this same line of thinking. “Trust us, we’ve got all the answers.” In totalitarian societies, the elite reserve the best for themselves and give the masses only enough to keep them from rioting. Do we want that kind of life in America?

Yet the Libertarians think just like this. They pose it as liberty and freedom, but they really mean anarchy. They also propose getting rid of laws that help us uphold moral standards. Some people would like that, but would that create a land in which you would want to live?

Libertarianism would create a nice life for the leaders, but the common people and middle class would suffer to support them in their luxury. It took two centuries of revolutions in America, Europe and then around the world to overthrow the aristocratic systems. Let’s not give Libertarians a chance to take us back to the “good old days” (for the rich and powerful that is).
