Big L, small minds

C-span is broadcasting a debate for Libertarian candidates.

Aaron Russo, candidate for the Libertarian nomination for president, just stated that "America has become a fascist country." The other two are pretty much the same. Russo also says that he wouldn't have attacked the Taliban because it did not participate in the 9/11 attacks.

I'm always amazed when I watch Libertarian gathering is how often they combine the rhetoric of the left, now the rhetoric of the Democrats, and that of the extreme right. I generally lean toward most libertarian arguments, but these people seem to carry them into conclusions that baffle me. One of the candidates, Gary Nolan, is a talk-show host. Russo is a movie producer. Michael Badnarik is a computer consultant.

It would be nice if any of them had any experience in politics or government.
