Maybe I should vote for him for president so he can put his neo-con libertarian views in to practice. Surely he would never abuse his power of president. richard Dawkins must be trying to run for president of US as well, huh? [/sarcasm]1) I never said you were completely wrong about him; my beef was with you taking something he said literally when it was clearly said as a turn of phrase.
2) He is not a libertarian.
3) I don't appreciate the sarcasm; I was trying to make a valid point about your attitude. When discussing other people's opinions, or things that they say, it is usually civil to actually attack what they say, and not a strawman of what they say. I've noticed you don't care for this much in other threads though, so maybe I shouldn't even bother in future.
Seriously though, watch the clip:

He laughs a bit as he says it; the audience laugh, and they applaud the statement. They understand perfectly well what he meant by it; I'm just astounded that so many people here think he was actually being serious.
