You aren’t wrong, but I would call that “Crony Capitalism” not libertarianism.
I can tell already. This is the thread where something other than libertarianism gets a bad name, but it is called “libertarianism.”[/quote]
Dude: Yup, you called it right. This is a tired old Leftist tactic from a Leftist troll. Ignore the inconvenient facts (as in, let’s not look too closely at Ken Salazar, okay?), throw strawman arguments about (Rand Paul is a racist, which is now shorthand for demonizing someone who doesn’t agree with you), or simply lie (Bush was a libertarian, in spite of a mountain of evidence to the contrary).
You’ll note that our little Trotskyite Fellow Traveler, IForget, doesn’t stick around for the actual debate. Because an actual debate demands facts and the ability to formulate and advance a real argument. Nope, IForget plays hit-and-run and gets out of Dodge before those annoying facts start popping up.
