I think the "thick" libertarians are a dangerous group of people that will tally to the mainstream-media line just enough to make themselves look respectable, even flirting with warmongers and statists, but when a pure libertarian argues something politically incorrect, the "thick" libertarians demonize him or her very quickly.Anand Venigallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300652293584046392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-34784595296356767882014-01-31T12:04:52.188-05:002014-01-31T12:04:52.188-05:00Ok.
