A Rant About Libertarian Morons

5 Comments

Reason TV editor Nick Gillespie goes verbally medieval on the (supposedly) libertarian idiots who voted for Barack Obama:

Question to the folks, including some of the libertarian persuasion (you fools!), who were bullish on Obama back when the alternative was John McCain, the Terri Schiavo of presidential candidates: When are you going to admit that Barry O stinks on ice? That for all his high-flying and studiously empty rhetoric he’s got the biggest presidential vision deficit since George H.W. Bush puked on a Japanese prime minister (finally, revenge for that long run of Little League World Series losses in the ’70s!). If you’re the president of the United States and you’re talking about goddamn traffic jams and you’re proposing high-speed rail as anything other than an unapologetic boondoggle that will a) never get built and b) never get built to the gee-whiz specs it’s supposed and c) be ridden by fewer people than commuted by zeppelin last year, you’ve got real problems, bub. And by extension, so do we all.

There’s more.

  1. Too many morons: libertarian morons, leftist morons, “moderate” and “conservative” morons…

    If we’re lucky, enough voters will get a clue and we’ll gridlock Congress in 2010. But if the people who elected Obama were capable of getting a clue they wouldn’t have elected him.

    Things may work out OK, but unless and until they do it looks like the country is in big trouble.

    If 53% of America really was hopelessly gullible we’d be fucked. It’d be time to apply for that Australian work visa and immigration application. Luckily I think you’re wrong. I’m sure there’s a good number of hopeless Leftists out there, but I think a good chuck of Obama’s electorate was either mislead by rhetoric because there was such a lack of record to compare it to, or just titillated at the chance of voting for someone not a “old white dude.” Both of those will be negated after four years of “the One” in office.

  3. That’s the optimistic interpretation of what happened. I hope that it’s right and I’m wrong.

  4. I don’t know about you guys, but I voted for Obama because he’s awesome. We should repeal term limits so he can be President forever.

  5. Some people just can’t stand that a black dude is intelligent, well spoken and worst of all? Your Boss.
