I counted five lies in the first paragraph, and by the time I reached the fourth, I had lost count.
Upon finishing his lie-fest, I decided to check out his blog, since you claimed he was libertarian. He does indeed claim to be a Libertarian, but his articles are pretty much devoted to attacking conservatism viciously, especially the religious right. I actually think he is a radical left-wing anti-war liberal, and he hides behind the banner of Libertarianism as a foil. Lots of lefties do that, because it insulates them from criticism of the radical liberal Democrat party. You see, the left can't really convert conservatives to liberalism, but there is a possibility of converting a conservative to libertarian, and anything is better than them remaining conservative, so this guy is a liberal warrior disguised as a libertarian for that purpose, as best I can tell. I mean, my god, one of his articles is explaining why Obama is a good pick for president! I know of NO Libertarian who voted for Obama. Most of Obama's Big Government agenda is completely contradictory of Libertarianism. Yet, this cat felt compelled to write a fluff piece to cheerlead Obama. I think you've been duped.
In the first part, he lies about the Right LOVES war, then goes on your typical left-wing anti-war rant for the next two paragraphs, parroting the exact same thing Democrats have been saying for 7 years. Nothing new, more of the same lies, distortions, misrepresentations, and contempt for Bush. More of the same overblown rhetoric about the war, and exaggerations regarding it. Then he goes from sublime to ridiculous with this statement...
Who is more likely to support the draft? The Left or the Right? The Right, which supposedly hates government, loves the military.....Many on the Authoritarian Right have prattled on about how the draft is great for American because it teaches young people "responsibility" and contributes to the safety of America.
Just where the hell does he get his information? I have never heard anyone on the Right, endorse, suggest, support, or otherwise condone, selective service! In fact, the record shows, it is something leftist DEMOCRATS continue to push and try to get implemented, not the Right! Add THAT to the long list of lies he has told in this one article.
He goes on to conclude that the Right are "statists" and that too is false, it is the Democrat Liberals who are supreme statists. He ends by presenting a 'choice' for conservatives, they can either support war and statism or do as he has done and join the Libertarians. This should be enough to convince the most brain-dead moron in the world, the guy is not sincere and not really a Libertarian. I mean, take a look, Democrat Liberals control both branches of Congress and the White House, yet instead of attempting to sway the opinions of Liberals and siphon off Liberal votes, he is going after the Right! That only makes practical sense, if you want Liberals to continue in power, because Libertarians got all of 2% in the most recent election, and will be about the same next election. What he is doing is very clever, but deceitful and dishonest. But what else do we expect from Liberals?
