There is a huge clique-ish flock mentality in Gen-X/Millenial libertarian class. I find it next to impossible to take Mcardle and Reason mag crowd seriously when they talk politics. I'll listen to their thoughts on policy and/or economics, but when it comes to politics they are a joke. Anyone who purports to be a fiscal conservative and voted for Obama turned in their seriousness card at that moment. Their logic was MINDBOGGLINGLY retarded: "I am a fiscal conservative, George W. Bush was a terrible president because he expanded government too much. Therefore I have decided to vote for Barack Obama!"<br /><br />"But Obama wants to increase the size of government even more"<br /><br />"But Bush was a terrible president. Bushitler! War Criminal! Bush!!!!"<br /><br /><br />Don't forget, these people would do and say anything that would raise their profile or land a TV gig.<br />Problem is: it works. See, Sullivan, Andrew; Buckley, Christopher; Mcardle, Megan; and on, and on, and on..PGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-40870696052241584322009-05-10T08:08:00.000-05:002009-05-10T08:08:00.000-05:00Commenters are accusing her of having supported Ob...Commenters are accusing her of having supported Obama because all the cool kids in DC were doing it. Do you think that young DC/NYC libertarians and conservatives are really affected by that?tomnoreply@blogger.com
