I like the ranting and many good points are made, but there's a little too much running-to-the-thesaurus evident in the prose.

The point about libertarians being too stupid to go out and milk the state is a funny one. But it misses what's maybe the only principled view of libertarianism - that people shouldn't have to do that. Maybe we'd all be a lot better off if the state didn't control so many purse strings and our industries weren't as dependent on govt contracts.

Libertarians didn't send us into Iraq. That's all on the milk-the-state crowd.
