The fatal blow of libertarianism?

Very happy this morning. I can't believe this sentence showed up in a major CNN article:
Libertarian fatalism has infected and afflicted the leaders of both political parties, and none of us should take seriously the partisan posturing from either the Republicans or Democrats.

Yep. Die, major parties, die. How does "Culotta 2014" sound on a bumper sticker? Meh, not so good. :)

"Illegal" immigrants? We're all immigrants...unless you're Native American.

See here's just another example of how this border/immigration thing is messed up.

SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- The world's busiest border crossing reopened early Friday following a nine-hour closure that occurred after federal authorities shot and killed the driver of a sport utility vehicle headed for Mexico, officials said.
...
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents began following the black SUV after somebody reported seeing it pick up suspected illegal immigrants near the U.S. side of the Otay Mesa border crossing, Lt. Kevin Rooney of San Diego Police Department said.

I just don't get it. The government is supposedly morally justified in shooting and KILLING the driver of a vehicle after it was REPORTED that he picked up SUSPECTED illegal immigrants. Guilty until proven innocent. Couldn't they have shot out the tires, at least? And now you won't know the whole story, just the government's side, because he's dead. Sad.

I loathe this government so much. When you go to vote, and you pick a non-libertarian candidate, just know that you're voting to take MY money and rights by force. That's what people don't realize. "Voting" and "democracy" is a process where you force your views and morals on other people who don't agree with you, and you use the government as your weapon. It's just a nasty thing all around, I think.

Ok, I'll stop now.

What's the bigger problem?

For those of you who insist we're not heading downhill in this country in a number of facets, take your pick today: Diebold machines have another critical flaw (and we just lost an effort to ditch them in November here in MD), or Halliburton building large-scale "immigrant detention centers", yet another $385 million of YOUR tax dollars.

Keep paying, bitches, and vote for your pathetic candidate in the fall who will steal more of your money. Yes, steal. Taxes are force. Back to our cubicles, sheep. :)

I can't wait for the rest of Dubya's term. So exciting!
