Poor Foolish Libertarian Voters Now Realize the Error of Thier Ways

Once, I was a libertarian. I even voted Libertarian. And then I grew up and realized that we have a two party system, and by voting Libertarian, I was only helping make sure that people who were far from libertarian were elected into office. After that, I became a reliable Republican vote, realizing that they were indeed the lesser of two evils, and that I'd rather have a libertarian-leaning Republican than an anti-libertarian Democrat.

Many libertarians though still vote Democrat or for a Libertarian minor party candidate, and so when I read an article like "For This Libertarian, Obama's First Year Looks Grim," by David Boaz, I am filled with an sense of anger and frustration. Libertarians, especially those who vote Libertarian, are idiots and fools and through their voting have made our country less libertarian than it once was, and the sad part is, they don't realize that they are part of the problem.

Many libertarians supported Obama last election, claiming that he was an independent and a moderate, and that he would be much preferred over the invading and free-speech breaking George Bush. Idiots. Now they lament:

As a libertarian, I'm sorry that Obama has not moved to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, to ratchet down the drug war, or to actually end the war in Iraq, the issue on which he rose to prominence. I think it's fair to say that his real ambition was to dramatically expand the size, scope and power of the federal government and that he saw these other issues as distractions.

Foolish libertarians. Why did you support Obama? Why did you fail to support McCain, which is in function the same thing as supporting Obama? Why did you vote third-party in Minnesota, thereby putting in office that joker Al Franken? Libertarians, by not voting for a conservative Republican, installed a super-liberal Franken, who has been the crucial vote on a range of anti-libertarian issues.

Liberals and Democrats can't help how they vote- they don't know any better. But conservatives, libertarians, and 'independents' should know better by now- we have a two party system, and if you aren't part of the solution and voting Republican, you are part of the problem. Save your sad stories and articles about dashed dreams, because they just remind me that you are stupid and foolish. Vote Republican next time.

As I wrote in Libertarians Screwed Themselves By Not Voting or Voting Libertarian:

No, as evidence of how stupid it is to vote for libertarian candidates, I point to Republicans up and down the ballot that are libertarians running as Republicans, and were screwed over when libertarians didn't vote, supported Democrats, or supported Libertarians.
