It is a myth that we only have two political parties. We have the republican party, the democratic party, and a third hidden party of special interests who extract wealth out of the system and contribute jack-shit to society.

The hidden party is better known as the libe(R)tarian party.

How's that?

Follow the money, and notice who benefits the most.

It won't be the "little people"............

I can rule out midgets and dwarves?

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Yeah, they're busy getting a protest march together against the makers of the last Snow White movie. They actually used full sized actors and digital tricks to play the dwarves in the movie.

Lol. I think it would be unwise to blame all Libertarians, just as I think it unwise to blame all Islamic Muslims for terrorism. Certainly, there are libertarians like the Koch brothers and Ayn Rand who give the whole brand a bad name. I would attack the foundations of libertarianism that give the pursuit of 'liberty', a noble ideal, a fucked up twist.

I can't argue with that. I've attempted to name them as neo-libertarians, but was poked fun of for doing so.

My point is this. The majority of CEOs fancy themselves as libertarians and they donate to causes that support their version of it.

You could give a go at ceo-libertarians and randertarians. My own take is that most libertarians are confused people who develop absolute beliefs in their ideals and leave no room for open minded discussion. Poses a real problem for progressive thinkers.

Have you ever had a dwarf lover?

[-] 3 points by JadedCitizen (4277) 11 years ago

I have a feeling there is no safe answer to that question, so I plead the fifth.

Welcome to the world of the REAL libe(R)tarians.......:)

Would you like a Koch with that?

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 11 years ago

Good call

Heard it on RT news.

Darn you're too honest ! Jim Rickards on "Capital Account (with Lauren Lyster)", by any chance ?!~;-) Further to your shared observation :

pax et lux ...

I would have given him credit but I couldn't remember his name.

"An example: the combined wealth of the world's richest 225 people is now equal to the combined annual income of the poorest 2.5 billion of the world's people (47 percent of the global population). The three richest people have assets that exceed the combined GDP of the 48 least developed countries."

Fuck me...

No Thanx ! I'm strictly into "'Martha'" - J'Arthur'C ... but I get what u mean !! LOL !!! pax et lux ...

Can't say I didn't offer.

Couldn't have stated it better. Well said !!

[-] 2 points by JadedCitizen (4277) 11 years ago

Heard Jim Rickards talking about it. Smart guy.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 11 years ago

Just a reminder. Don't bother worrying about it, I'm sure they'll just keep doing it until the world economy collapses so the only money left will be in the hands of a few rich ass holes and you can slave away for their needs or be locked away by the goon squad. Just go back to arguing about which political party is better, that will fix everything.

Desperately looking for hits? I gave you one. Don't despair.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 11 years ago

Don't see any of the media talking about the Fed running up our tab and circumventing our democracy in an effort to continue the stimulus behind closed doors. Be a dick all you like but at this point you don't seem to stand for anything, just an asswipe with no friends.
