I Was a Card-Carrying Libertarian: Confessions of a Black Sheep Republican
At twelve I believed in the Invisible Government and Conspiracy. At fifteen, I believed in Libertarianism.
Later I grew up.
Tarianism is the philosophy of cheap certainties, the thing that is preferred by the adolescent mind.
Thats the end of my slam.
There is a lot good about it. Lets get rid of the post office and the Dept. of Ed.. They make a lot of good points.
If they could see that their model doesn’t fully describe the world, they’d be even better. If they realized that philosophically they are not absolutely correct, and are only correct in some cases, that’d be wonderful.
But, even when they’re bad, they can be good. Because y’know Ayn Rand might have been crazy, but I wonder if we’d be saluting a red flag with a hammer and sickle on it without her craziness. Maybe the Republic NEEDS Libertarians, not in charge, but as gadflies?
