A selection from the archive:

I wonder, when was the last time a talk show changed a mind?

When I see well educated libertarians literally falling over backwards to find some angle to proclaim Palin, a very conservative christian, as one of theirs, I have to say, it hardly seems worth talking about politics. Objective discussion about policy cannot be fruitful if people cannot accept reality as a starting point and the greatest weakness of human beings is our ability to deceive ourselves when we want something to be true.

The whole 'Libertarian but vote Republican' thing is bullshit. Those people are not Libertarians. They are Republicans. You can't embrace the kind of bigotry the Republicans sell unless you don't give a fuck about the groups they 'kick in the teeth' to get elected, and when was the last time a Republican agenda resembled anything remotely Libertarian? Its still an alliance of values, and has nothing to do with policy.
