5. 'Libertarianism' is Juvenile

Tue Jan 13, 2015, 12:07 PM

Jan 2015

Except for a few other spoiled brat 'libertarian' types ... no American will have the slightest sympathy for Roger Ver.

Let's hope the "tyrants" in government never let him back into the United States ... we've got enough freeloading millionaires/billionaires getting rich off of the nation's infrastructure that all of us lowly working people built and paid for.

This Ayn Rand style of American 'libertarianism' is quite clearly little more than economic and political narcissism; behavior that wallows in the juvenile and tries to give that kind of selfishness the patina of credibility through the concoction of the 'philosophy' of Objectivism.
