More on the topic of GOP libertarians

The most vigorous critics of the long standing subservience of some libertarians to the GOP continues to be — other libertarians. In response to David Friedman’s urging of a new libertarian & Democratic Party coalition, Unrepentant Jezebel of Christsploitation.com writes:

“…I’m not going to allow religious right GOP “libertarians” to overrun a perfectly tenable political philosophy (libertarianism / classical liberalism) in front of me and get away with it.”

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I favor a revolutionary rather than a reformist approach. That doesn’t prevent me from observing that some reformists are more or less hypocritical than others. In fact, it puts me in an excellent position to observe exactly that.

If you think you’re a libertarian, but you support a political party whose head wages aggressive wars of conquest on false pretenses, shamelessly attempts to makes excuses for torture, asserts the President is above the law and, unbelievable as it may be, makes Bill Clinton look relatively fiscally conservative by comparison (the horror…) — then you’re not just wrong, you’re so majestically and completely divorced from reality that one has to marvel in awestruck wonder about exactly how you managed to wedge your cranium so far up your colon.
