A Case for Super Powers

"Let Someone Else Do It!"

I wound up in a debate with someone over politics.

They are a libertarian, and are supporting Bob Barr for president.

Now, let me first say that I admire the spirit of the Libertarian. Having said that, after examining the tenets of libertarianism, I can't help but find the whole concept of a Libertarian running for president laughably ironic.

Libertarianism, in the purest sense of the word, believes in complete personal freedom and as little control from the government as possible. The Libertarian party compromises by emphasizing state control over federal control.

Get the joke yet?

It seems to me that the goal of the libertarian presidential candidate is to say "let the states decide" to nearly every question.

Hence the title of this blog. That should be the campaign slogan for every Libertarian presidential candidate.

If any of you are libertarians...sorry. Maybe you can explain it to me, 'cause I'm just not getting it.
