okay now give me a listing of the who else -- other than Libertarians played such a role. A list that woud include some "liberal" NGOs with good reps. Let's not be naive. Corruption of this impoverished excuse for a government has been a collective affair with many players of all stripes, with the biggest player always big $$$.

One of the many things about Libertarianism is they do not give a shit about the people ONLY themselves.

Ah yes, Jamenta reaches her frustration point, tells other discussant to "take a hike. In the immortal words of Mussolini. Cazzo a te.Va fa in culo. OK? Discussion ended. It's almost always time wasted where you're concerned.

Anyone who blows right past the Koch brothers is not worth my time.

You epitomize the reason speech is free -- even for those who must resort to ad hominem slurs when their brain goes into farting mode because someone won't agreee with them. Boo hoo, mama, they won't tell me I'm right. GROW UP

Yo Vin - shove the Koch Brothers NETWORK right up your smug libertarian defending ass.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never voted for a Libertarian, yet agree with them on some issues. I was unable to shove anything up my ass because I was cleaning my toilet, which turned out to be a far more productive activity than exchanging any further rhetorical barbs with you.

Koch are Libertarians? Biden is Catholic? Rainbow is homosexuals?

Have you heard of the term "appropriation"?

Yes. Pretty much all my life. People saying one thing, and doing the exact opposite.
