In reply to the discussion: Grover Norquist: GOP Will Keep Obama On 'Short Leash,' Leave Him To 'Blow Up Small Countries' [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)I don't buy that the libertarian wing of the GOP - which is just about the entire group, no matter how they brand themselves, doesn't approve of Nixon's 'the government should be run like a business' and Reagan's 'government is evil' mantras.
Nordquist turned into the 'starve the beast' and 'government small enough to drown in a bathtub' agenda. Romney, Ryan, Boehner, Rand Paul, the Koches, Alan Greenspan and the rest of the crew are Randians. Nordquist has framed the message and been paid by the Koch brothers to advance their agenda. Just because Democrats think this stuff is crazy, destructive or stupid won't make them go away.
Alex Jones and Glenn Beck aremost modern Libertarians who want government to be shrunk so there is no Social Security (welfare moochers and statists who will have to bow to one world governance); no public schools (indoctrinating children into homosexuality and communism while becoming Muslim or atheist); and no police, fire or postal services (they are watching you and making out lists to kill you).
I hate to say it, but when you talk to these guys, Breitbart and Norquist is heroes. I've even run into those who believe the Koch brothers are out to save America. And they vote.
