Obama Says Ayn Rand Is For Teens

136. I have talked and "chatted".

.... with a LOT of Libertarians. I seriously believe that they did not finish developing as human beings emotionally.

Libertarians cling to a black/white mentality. In their simple world there is no gray. Everything either is or it isn't. There are no decisions to be made in this paradigm because everything is already decided. No hard choices because everything is black, or it is white.

Most of these folks possess a strange combination of naivete and cynicism. The great unwashed bring out their cynicism. They are all leeches to be cut off. The rich and powerful can do no wrong. We don't need regulation because the captains of industry will always do the right thing.

One would think that the events of the last decade would have disabused these fools of their delusional ideas, but I see no evidence of that. It is sad to say, but it seems like this thinking has started to infect the government, most specifically with the Tea Party. Who probably didn't have exactly this bullshit in mind, but who are not very good at controlling their own agenda.
