Gideon, you are obviously either very, very old or very, very young. If you imagine that the 70’s were ‘the good old days’, then you have both a fabulous imagination and incredible taste for the nostalgia it conjures. I would guess that your obvious dislike of libertarians means that you are a dedicated old-school republican, and therefore very old. Old enough not to have any grasp of what libertarian thought actually is - and it certainly has nothing to do with government-subsidized corporations or their profits! The 70’s saw us barely free of Viet Nam - a mission much more like Afghanistan than different. And the resignation of a president who didn’t lie nearly as much as Obama has done just in the past month alone. But, they are far more alike than different - Nixon wanted to secretly imprison thousands of dissidents, where Obama merely wants to intimidate us all into silence… Good grief - even Tricky Dick didn’t have the huge brass ones to do all right in our faces. Real libertarian thought would not tolerate ANY of this nonsense! No Black Budget - just a budget. And zero (incredibly clumsy)spying on citizens. I’m sorry, but labels like the traditional two party names or ‘conservative’ vs. ‘liberal’ just don’t cut it any more. They don’t MEAN anything any more - unless you count giving away all our wealth to corporations. Then, you can use those party name interchangeably.
